Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sample retention rate formula = number subjects completing study  sample size  100.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Sample attrition rate formula = number subjects withdrawing  sample size  100.
For example, if a study had a sample size of 160 and 40 people withdrew from the study, the attrition rate would be 25.
