Answer:

California's rate for heart disease is more extreme than Cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Cancer with C and Heart Disease with H

H = 143

C = 137

Population = per 100,000

First we need to determine the probability of both.

For H

P(H) = H/100000

P(H) = 143/100000

P(H) = 0.00143

For C

P(C) = C/100000

P(C) = 137/100000

P(C) = 0.00137

By comparison,

0.00143 > 0.00137

So, California's rate for heart disease is more extreme than Cancer.

Reason: P(H) > P(C)
