In many rural areas, stray cats are a problem as they may return to being wild feral cats that have not been spayed or neutered can reproduce, which may result in a population of feral cats. One pair of cats can produce 12 kittens in one year, and half of these kittens are female; this increased population would potentially produce 84 kittens in the second year. In 5-years, the population could reach almost 33000 feral cats. A) What conditions or factors would have to be in place for the population to achieve its biotic potential?

as an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of lead exposure in a Baltimore neighborhood and the incidence of lead poisining and related difficulties in early childhood. You start with a cohort of 400 babies born in 2015. At baseline, none of them have any symptoms of lead poisining, but after taking envirnomental samples from their homes you find that 250 have lead paint exposure and 150 of them do not You follow them for ten years and keep track of incident cases of lead poisining based on blood samples. In 2025 you end your study and report the following: 100 of the children previously exposed to lead paint in 2015 have lead poisining and 25 of the children that were not exposed in 2015 have lead poisining. Calculate the cumulative incidence for the exposed group and the unexposed group. Calculate the relative risk between lead paint exposure and lead poisining.
You are an epidemiologist who hypothesizes that the rare exposure of living close to power lines by expectant mothers during pregnancy is a potential cause of premature birth, a relatively common pregnancy outcome. (Exposure = “close to power lines”; Outcome = “premature birth”). A _____ design would be best suited for this scenario, because _____. a)A cohort study; it is suited to rare exposures, short periods of follow-up and common outcomes b)A case-control study; it is suited to rare exposures, short periods of follow-up and common outcomes c)A cohort study; it will allow the epidemiologist to study multiple exposures in addition to a raw-food vegan diet d)A case-control study; it is suited to studying a variety of outcomes in addition to premature birth e) None of the Above
