The following health statistics are available on the Internet for country Z about two disease outcomes. Disease A has an annual

incidence of 225 per 100,000 population and an annual mortality rate of 150 per 100,000. Disease B
has an annual incidence of 500 per 100,000 population and the same annual mortality rate as disease A. Neither disease A or B has a cure. What would you conclude regarding the burden of these diseases in country Z?

a. The proportionate mortality is higher for
disease A than disease B
b. The case fatality ratio is higher for disease B
than disease A
c. Disease A has a higher prevalence than
disease B
d. Disease B has a higher prevalence than
disease A

The burden of diseases A and B in country Z is that disease B has a higher prevalence than

disease A. That is option D.

<h3>Health statistics of Country Z</h3>

Health statistics is used by professionals to summarize the health status or information on the health of individuals in a particular geographical location.

The basic statistic tools that can be used to check the health status of a population are,

  • prevalence

  • Case fatality ratio

The prevalence rate is the total number of cases of a disease existing in a population divided by the total population.

The prevalence rate of disease A = 225 per 100,000 population while the prevalence rate of disease B = 500 per 100,000 population.

Therefore, the burden of diseases A and B in country Z is that Disease B has a higher prevalence than

disease A.

Which of the following is typically associated with a reduction in photosynthesizing plants in a water supply? (2 points)
Sphinxa [80]
A decrease in dissolved oxygen.
This is because oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. If the plants are in water, some of the oxygen they produce will become dissolved in it. Without those plants, you have less dissolved oxygen.

A virus<span> is a small </span>infectious agent<span> that </span>replicates<span> only inside the living </span>cells<span> of other </span>organisms<span>.

</span>While not inside an infected cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent particles. These viral particles<span>, also known as </span>virions<span>, consist of two or three parts: (i) the </span>genetic material<span> made from either </span>DNA<span> or </span>RNA<span>, long </span>molecules<span> that carry genetic information; (ii) a </span>protein<span> coat, called the </span>capsid<span>, which surrounds and protects the genetic material; and in some cases (iii) an </span>envelope<span> of </span>lipids<span> that surrounds the protein coat when they are outside a cell.

Answer:

The conclusion that cuckolder are able to discriminate kin from non kin

Explanation:

From the above question, researchers carried out tests on the two types of fish (males cuckolder and parental males) to see if they can identify kin and non kin from the offsprings, using a null test.

But the test for cuckolder was rejected by the researchers for the cuckolder so they can't say cuckolder can indentify between kins and non kins, they didn't pass the test so it should be concluded that cuckolder can't identify between kin and non kin, instead of concluding they can identify them, that is the wrong conclusion.
