Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a population of 1000, if 50 people are infected with a disease, what is the prevalence rate of the disease? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the total population. In this case, the total population is 1000.
  • Step 2: Identify the number of people infected with the disease. Here, 50 people are infected.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for prevalence rate, which is (Number of infected / Total population).
  • Step 4: Plug in the numbers: (50 / 1000).
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 50 divided by 1000 equals 0.05.
  • Step 6: To express the prevalence rate as a percentage, multiply 0.05 by 100, which gives you 5%.
