Answer #1

Solution: Given:

Residents in Oklahoma who have been diagnosed with asthma as of May 30, 2010 = 240,000

The population of Oklahoma on June 1, 2010 = 3,800,000.

Formula used:
(number of cases of diseases present in a population at the specified time) / ( number of persons in the population at that time)
240,000 / 3,800,000 = 0.06158

In percentage = 0.06158 x 100 = 6.3157 = 6.32%
