Disease A has a duration of 15 years and a low incidence (4 per 100,000 persons). Disease B has a duration of 5 year and a low incidence (4 per 100,000 people). Comparing Disease A and Disease B in the same population, what would be expected Disease A to have? (select one best answer)

Disease, X has a duration of 15 years in a low instance 5 per 100,000 person years disease why has a duration of five years and a low incident five per 100,000 person years comparing disease XY in the same population we would expect disease X to have a better curate, lower, prevalence, higher prevalence or higher incidents

A patient has been diagnosed with a serious disease. The lifetimes of patients with this disease are approximately Exponential with expected value 10 years, after their initial diagnosis. a. What is the probability that a patient who is diagnosed today will still be alive 15 years from now? b. Given that a patient is still alive after 5 years, what is the probability the patient will still be alive 15 years after the initial diagnosis? c. If 5 people are diagnosed with this disease today, what is the probability that all 5 of them will be alive 15 years from now?
