Explanation:

To answer question 10, we look at the death - rate data in the table for all genders combined. For Asian/Pacific Islander, the male rate is 138.8 per 100,000 men and female rate is 95.9 per 100,000 women. Comparing with other races, it has the lowest combined rate. For question 11, looking at the male rates, Black males have the highest rate at 313.0 per 100,000 men. For question 12, the table doesn't provide data for death before age 44, so we cannot answer it with the given information.
