The death per capita is given by the number of MV deaths divided by the total population.
For Illinois, given that the number of MV deaths is 911 and the total population is 12.4 million,
thus, the Death per Capita is given by 911 / 12.4 million = 0.000073 and
the scientific notation of the Death per Capita is [tex]7.3 x 10^-5[/tex].
For Ohio, given that the number of MV deaths is 1021 and the total population is 11.35 million,
thus, the Death per Capita is given by 1021 / 11.35 million = 0.000090 and
the scientific notation of the Death per Capita is [tex]9.0 x 10^-5[/tex].
For Michigan, given that the number of MV deaths is 871 and the total population is 9.9 million,
thus, the Death per Capita is given by 871 / 9.9 million = 0.000088 and
the scientific notation of the Death per Capita is [tex]8.8 x 10^-5[/tex].
For Alaska, given that the number of MV deaths is 64 and the total population is 0.63 million,
thus, the Death per Capita is given by 64 / 0.63 million = 0.000102 and
the scientific notation of the Death per Capita is [tex]1.02 x 10^-4[/tex].
