Present Absent
A 245
B 75

A + C = 295 B + D = 705 n = 1000
3. What is the incidence rate (absolute risk) of endometrial cancer among who didn’t use oral
contraceptives?

b) 75 / (245 + 75) e) Insufficient data
c) 50 / (50 + 630)
Key: True: c 50/ (50 + 630)

Questions # 8-9.
The results of a study of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in a village in India are given in
the table below. All persons in the village are examined during two surveys made 2 years apart,
and the number of new cases was used to determine the incidence rat
Category of Household at First survey
Number of Persons
Number of New cases
With culture positive case
500
10
Without culture positive case
10,000
10
8. What is the incidence of new cases per 1000 person years in households that had a culture
positive case during the first survey?
a) 0.02 b) 0.01
, c) 1.0 e) 20
d) 10
Key: True: d
10 new cases = 10 cases/1000 persons years
500 persons x 2 years
9. What is the incidence of new cases per 1000 person years in households that did not have a
culture positive case during the first survey?
a) 0.001 d) 1.0
b) 0.1 e) 5.0
c) 0.5
Key: True: c
10 new cases = 0.5 cases/1000 persons years
10,000 persons x 2 years
