Question

In 1998, there was a major ice storm in Maine. Researchers wanted to know whether there was an association between generator location (inside or outside) and CO poisoning after an ice storm. Results from their case-control study are summarized in the table below (cases are observations that have experienced the CO poisoning, controls are observations that have not experienced the CO poisoning):

What type of table is this? Name at least 2 tests you can perform to investigate the association between generator location and CO poisoning after an ice storm.

Calculate the odds ratio and risk ratio based on this table. Which one is more appropriate for this type of study design?
