The drown rate of males expressed as a percentage of the population is the ratio of the number of males they drown to the total number of people in the population expressed as a percentage. Hence, the percentage rate is 0.00211%

The drowning rate among males = 2.11 per 100,000 population

Drowning rate among female = 0.56 per 100,000

Using the available information :

Total population = 100,000

Rate of male as a percentage of the population :

  • (Number of males ÷ total population) × 100%

(2.11 ÷ 100,000) × 100% = 0.00211%

Therefore, the percentage drown rate of males in the population is 0.00211%
