Rate

A rate is the proportion that represents the number of events of any kind: births, deaths, marriages, accidents, purchases... in the population in which they occur. This ratio is as much as one. The best-known way to express a rate is in the form of a percentage that expresses the phenomenon per hundred people. It is also common to see it expressed as so much for a thousand, for every thousand people, or so much for a hundred thousand people, for every hundred thousand people.
