Questions 1 through 5 refer to the following scenario: Over a 1-year period, a population of 4872 people experienced 211 new cases of a non-recurrent disease (D) called Alpha-Bravo, of whom 156 had the exposure (E) called factor XY. A total of 1683 people in the population were exposed to factor XY. 1. What measure(s) of disease frequency should you compute to estimate the amount of disease Alpha-Bravo occurring in this population? a. Incidence rate b. Incidence proportion (or cumulative incidence [risk]) c. Incidence rate and incidence proportion d. Point prevalence e. Don't know 2. Compute and interpret P(D). 3. Compute and interpret P(E). 4. Compute and interpret P(D|E). 5. Compute and interpret P(D|no E).

Assume a population of 100,000 people of whom 20 are sick with disease X and in 1 year 18 of the 20 die from Disease X. What is the mortality rate and what is the case-fatality rate? Again, show the formula
