Read the given paragraph and answer the questions. [6] UV intensity is not the most important factor in skin cancer fatalities. While residents of Colorado (mean elevation of 2.1 km) have always been subjected to the highest UV intensities in the United States, Colorado has one of the lowest skin cancer fatality rates of all the states (Smith, 2015). In contrast, New England, which has much lower UV intensities, has a death rate from skin cancer that is 25% higher than Colorado (Smith 2015). In addition, although equatorial regions have higher UV intensities, the lowest reported skin cancer death rates in the world come from Mauritius (0.2 per 100,000) and Nicaragua (0.2 per 100,000) (Jones, 2013). On the other hand, Jones (2013) reports that Ireland (2.64 per 100,000) has the world's third highest rate. Therefore, the current evidence on the distribution of skin cancer fatalities indicates that UV intensity is not the principal factor in determining the skin cancer death rate. a.
