mong a group of 5 participants who were all exposed to asbestos without proper personal protective equipment when working in retrofitting old buildings.

The following represents the information the researchers collected from each of the 5 participants.
a. Calculate the prevalence of cancer on January 1, 2017 in the high-risk sample.
b. Calculate the incidence of cancer between January 1, 2017 – January 1, 2018 in the high-risk sample.
c. Calculate the prevalence of cancer on January 1, 2018 in the high-risk sample.
