Relative Risk Calculation
An evil genius, with a plan of world domination, decides to test
the ability of his new super-genetically modified Zombie Apocalypse
virus (ZAV) to infect the people of Broncoville. He kidnapped 1,000
Broncoville Tax Board auditors. The evil genius placed half of the
auditors in a room where ZAV is flowing through the
air-conditioning (aerosolized ZAV) and the other half of the
auditors were placed in a compound where ZAV is in the drinking
water (water ZAV). (No Tax Board auditors were actually harmed in
this experiment)
Develop a 2 x 2 table with the following information: Of the 500
auditors who were in the room with the aerosolized ZAV, 209
developed the disease. Of the 500 auditors who drank the ZAV in
water, 104 developed ZAV.
Enter only numeric values into the answer line. Place a leading
0 before the decimal if your answer is not a whole number and
remember to round to two decimal places. Note
your answers for the following essay questions.
In the previous question you were asked to calculate the
relative risk for developing ZA if the IRS auditors were exposed to
Aerosolized ZA.
1. Using correct interpretation formatting, what does your
statistical relative risk answer mean?
2. What public health message would you disseminate?
Odds Ratio Calculation
Swine Influenza (SI) is a growing concern at the local
Broncoville Health Department (BHD) in Lawrence, Kansas. You need
to determine if one or two doses of vaccine is required to provide
immunity for the coming flu season. There were 600 cases of SI this
year. You match them to 1800 controls and evaluate whether one dose
is sufficient to prevent contracting SI.
Develop a 2 x 2 table with the following information: Of the 600
cases of SI, 425 received one dose of vaccine. Of 1,800 controls,
703 received one dose of vaccine for SI. What is the likelihood of
contracting SI with only one dose of
vaccine?
Enter only numeric values into the answer line. Place a leading
0 before the decimal if your answer is not a whole number and
remember to round to two decimal places. Note
your answers for the following essay questions.
