Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. The average length of time from diagnosis to death is survival time. Mortality rate is the ratio of the numbers of deaths from a specific condition. Morbidity rate reflects the incidence and prevalence of a specific condition. Survival rate is the proportion of people with a given condition who remain alive after a specific period.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Morbidity is the ratio of the number of cases of a disease or condition to the number of people in the population. The morbidity for chickenpox indicates the total number and new cases identified during and at a specified period of time. Incidence is the number of new cases alone. The percentage with chickenpox represents case rate. Prevalence is the group affected by chickenpox.
