Answer 1

hope you find this helpful thankyou ☺️?

In the given Relative Risk Question we have to find the Relative risk in the ratio of the disease car death) among exposed Incidence among mon exposed. incidence of the and the RR = Incidence of disease among exposed Incidence g disease among non exposed Je I ne In the question Je = 3.3 Ine = 5.5 we are given are given % % So Relative Risk mill be 0.6 3.3 5.5 100 / 100 with the new so, Relative Risk associated drug is Patient who are taking the drug are 0.6 time less Drone to Heart attack than those who are not taking the drug Answer: 0.6
