Answer:
13665.6 deaths per year
Step-by-step explanation:
We can determine certain statistics based on the information. If 15567 patients where discharge and 245 deaths were recorded, the total number of patients were:
[tex]=15567+245=15812[/tex]
If 75 deaths occured in the first 48 hours we have a death rate of:
[tex]=75/48=1.56[/tex]
1.56 deaths per hour.
We want the death rate per year. If we have the death rate per hour we can determine the death rate per year:
[tex]1.56\cdot{24}\cdot{365}=13665.6[tex]
13665.6 deaths per year
