Question

During the summer 2014 Ebola outbreak, the number of new cases was 579 in Guinea and 972 in Liberia. Which country had a higher cumulative incidence of Ebola during the summer 2014 outbreak

Answer 1

Answer:

The cumulative incidence of Leberia will have a higher value.

Explanation:

Cumulative incidence of Ebola will be defined by the number of new events or cases of Ebola divided by total number of individuals in the population that are at risk for any given time period.

Guinea population in 2014 = 11.5 million

Leberia population in 2014 = 4.6 million

Hence, the cumulative incidence of Leberia will have a higher value.
