Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a population of 10,000, if 200 people are infected with a disease, what is the prevalence rate of the disease? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the total population. In this case, the total population is 10,000.
  • Step 2: Identify the number of infected people. Here, 200 people are infected with the disease.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for prevalence rate, which is (Number of infected / Total population).
  • Step 4: Plug in the numbers: (200 / 10000).
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 200 divided by 10,000 equals 0.02.
  • Step 6: To express the prevalence rate as a percentage, multiply 0.02 by 100, which gives you 2%.
