The sample relative risk is 10.

<h3>What is relative risk? </h3>

Sample relative risk is the ratio of disease risk or death in an exposed group to the disease risk or death in an unexposed group. Sample relative risk is a descriptive statistic.

What is the sample relative risk?

Sample relative risk = fraction of coal miner who got lung cancer / fraction of non coal miners who got lung cancer

Sample relative risk = (30 / 150) ÷ (5/250)

(1/5) ÷ (1/50

1/5 x 50 = 10
