Answer #1

Incidence rate is calculated by dividing number of new cases at a period of time by total number of cases at that period of time ×1000

In this case the total number of people are - 12

Total new cases are -6 ( developed outcome of interest )

Incidence rate for outcome of interest = 6/12×1000= 500
