Question

Researchers surveyed 250 college students at one time. They were asked if they were taking any engineering classes and whether or not they felt depressed. If 75 students reported taking at least one engineering class and 15 of those students said they were depressed, what is the incidence of depression in this group

Answer 1

the incidence of the depression is 1 ÷ 5

Explanation:

Given that

There is 250 college students that are surveyed

In the case when 75 students reported for minimum ne engineering class

And, out of this 15 students would be depressed

We need to find out the incidence of the depression

So

= 15 ÷ 75

= 1 ÷ 5

Hence, the incidence of the depression is 1 ÷ 5
