groups by cholesterol levels, high and low. In 1950 there were 1120 people in the low cholesterol group, 20 of whom were found to have had a previous heart attack. Over the next 8 years (until the end of 1958) 66 more (new) heart attacks occurred in this group. In 1950 among those in the high cholesterol group (n=1127) there were 27 that were shown to have had a previous heart attack. Over the next 8 years, (until the end of 1958) 135 new heart attacks occurred to members of this group. What was the prevalence of heart attacks in the low cholesterol group in 1950? What was the prevalence of heart attacks in the high cholesterol group in 1950? What was the incidence rate of heart attacks in the low cholesterol group from 1951 until the end of 1958?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
