Answer 1

Answer is C 1.87 deaths per 100,000 people

Answer 2

Answer: C. 1.87 deaths per 100,000 people

Explanation:

To find the fatality rate, we need to divide the number of traffic fatalities by the total population and then multiply by 100,000.

Fatality rate = (Number of traffic fatalities / Total population) x 100,000

Plugging in the values given in the question:

Fatality rate = (19,261 / 103,000,000) x 100,000 = 1.87 deaths per 100,000 people.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
