Suppose a study of incidence rates of blindness among insulin-dependent diabetics reported that the annual
incidence rate of blindness per year was 0.68% among 30- to 39-year-old male insulin-dependent diabetics
(IDDM) and 0.75% among 30- to 39-year-old female insulin-dependent diabetics.
Please explain. Show math
