Rate Per 100,000 Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Rate Per 100,000 (RP100K):

\[ RP100K = \frac{O}{E} \times 100,000 \]

Where:

\(RP100K\) is the Rate Per 100,000
\(O\) is the Number of Occurrences
\(E\) is the Number of Events

What is Rate Per 100,000?

The rate per 100,000 is a statistical measure used to compare the frequency of an occurrence in relation to a standard population size of 100,000. This is commonly used in public health and epidemiology to standardize and compare data across different populations or regions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Occurrences (\(O\)) = 250
Number of Events (\(E\)) = 50000

Using the formula:

\[ RP100K = \frac{250}{50000} \times 100,000 = 0.005 \times 100,000 = 500 \]

The Rate Per 100,000 is 500.
