A laboratory trial is conducted to evaluate the risks associated with consumption of pesticide-contaminated water. 45 out of 500 mice exposed to the pesticide-contaminated water develop stomach cancer. 11 out of 500 mice that were not exposed to the pesticide-contaminated water also deveoped cancer. What are: a. the relative risk? b. the attributable risk? c. the odds risk?

What are:
a. the relative risk?
b. the attributable risk?
c. the odds risk?
Do the epidemiological statistics suggest a potential link between consumption of this water and stomach cancer?
Total number of mice experimented upon =1000
Number of mice who got exposed to pesticide contaminated water=500
number of mice got cancer out of them =45
Number of mice who did not get exposed to pesticide contaminated water=500
number of mice got cancer out of them =11
