6. Calculate the overall proportion of persons who acquired the disease and the age-specific proportion (both sexes combined). Note that each entry is a reported case, some of whom had symptoms and some of whom died.

Hint: This is a table of the proportion of persons in each age group who acquired the disease (both symptomatic and asymptomatic).. The sum of cases divided by the sum of persons is the overall proportion. (You will need to use the population table to calculate the age-specific and overall proportions.)

7. Calculate the overall and age-specific case-fatality proportion.

Hint: This is the proportion with the disease who died of the disease.

8. State the numerators and denominators that are used to calculate age-specific proportions and case fatality proportions. What measure would you have if you multiplied these two overall proportions together?

9. Take a wild guess: what disease could this be?

The line listing is provided in a separate Excel file as well.
