Mar 28, 2022 at 8:18 comment added Sextus Empiricus It's not really a problem of programming so a reproducible example is not that necessary. For me, the question could have been withouy the large code to produce yen rows of a dataset (unless maybe the person asking the question wants more out of the question).
Mar 28, 2022 at 7:24 comment added dipetkov That's why questions should come with reproducible example (and that doesn't need to the real data). The question has nothing to do with the medical research aspect and the OP can't dump private health-related info online. /rant
Mar 28, 2022 at 7:05 comment added Sextus Empiricus @dipetkov It might be that much more disease is included than just lung cancer and cirrhosis. The question shows only the first ten rows of the dataset.
Mar 28, 2022 at 7:00 comment added Sextus Empiricus It makes me wonder too, but I gave up spending more time on it.

Mar 28, 2022 at 6:52 comment added dipetkov Surely it's different? n = 403,444,800. It just made me wonder where the proportions in the question come from.
Mar 28, 2022 at 6:50 comment added Sextus Empiricus @dipetkov it could be different because I calculated backward without taking into account roundoff errors. But for the demonstration, it doesn't matter a lot what number $n$ is used.
Mar 28, 2022 at 0:16 comment added dipetkov Is this the smallest n that corresponds to integer number for each (gender,ethnicity) combination? It's a very weird number for a study on lung cancer & cirrhosis patients.
