Question

Suppose we follow this same study population for another year and there were an additional 209 cases of the dependent variable. Use that information and the data in this table to calculate the cumulative incidence of the dependent variable (per 100) (round cumulative incidence per 100 people to 1 decimal place) 78.2per100 17.7 per 100 41.2 per 100 28.1 per 100

Answer 1

The cumulative incidence of the dependent variable per 100 people is 2.09%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cumulative incidence of the dependent variable can be calculated by dividing the number of new cases by the population size and multiplying it by 100. In this case, there were an additional 209 cases and a study population of 100 people. So, the cumulative incidence would be (209/100) * 100 = 209%. However, the question asks for the cumulative incidence per 100 people, so we need to divide the cumulative incidence by 100. So, the cumulative incidence per 100 people would be 209/100 = 2.09%.
