Density-independent deaths are those deaths caused by an event that is not related to the population density in which the deaths occurred. For instance, death by lightning strike would be density-independent because the chance of a lightning strike does not increase when there are more people in that area.

An example of density-dependent deaths would be an epidemic of influenza. The influenza virus travels from person to person, so if there are more people in an area there are more that can become infected and therefore more that can die from influenza. In rural areas, where population density is low, influenza tends to be stopped because there aren't enough people to keep the infection going.

Provisional number and rate of marriages, deaths, and infant deaths, by month: United States, January 2007-December 2008") This is what the numbers are according to said table: January 2007: 222,000 deaths February 2007: 204,000 deaths March 2007: 216,000 deaths April 2007: 203,000 deaths May 2007: 199,000 deaths June 2007: 188,000 deaths July 2007: 194,000 deaths August 2007: 191,000 deaths September 2007: 187,000 deaths October 2007: 198,000 deaths November 2007: 199,000 deaths December 2007: 214,000 deaths January 2008: 224,000 deaths February 2008: 222,000 deaths March 2008: 231,000 deaths April 2008: 206,000 deaths May 2008: 201,000 deaths June 2008: 190,000 deaths July 2008: 191,000 deaths August 2008: 191,000 deaths September 2008: 186,000 deaths October 2008: 198,000 deaths November 2008: 200,000 deaths December 2008: 213,000 deaths As you were asking whether more people died in winter or summer, I just took the statistics for those months into consideration and calculated the average: Winter (Dec-Mar) statistical average: 218,250 deaths Summer (Jun-Sep) statistical average: 189,750 deaths
