Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The UCR uses three methods to express crime data. First, the number of crimes reported to the police and arrests made are expressed as raw figures (for example, in 2010, 14, 748 murders occurred). Second, crime rates per 100,000 people are computed. In other words, when the UCR indicates that the murder rate was about 4.8 in 2010, it means that almost 5people in every 100,000 were murdered between January 1 and December 31, 2010.

This is the equation used:
Number of Reported Crimes  100,000 = Rate per 100,000 Total U.S. Population

Third, the FBI computes changes in the number and rate of crimes over time. Even though almost 15,000 murders in a year seems like a lot, the number and rate of murder has declined significantly over the past 20 years: in 1991, there were almost 25,000 murders recorded, a rate of 9.8 per 100,000 citizens.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
