Stats Incidence Calculation; What's the denominator?
Have a doubt in Kaplan CK Notes epidemiology review question on page 112. Incidence should be calculated with denominator having people at risk. Isn't it?
Can anyone help me out with the question 8.?

yes people at risk.

This would be the total population minus the people who already have the disease.

I can't look at it, don't have the book.

I was just replying to what should be in the denominator. Rarely there are errors in textbooks.
