Answer to question# 22)

Hence only statement c is incorrect

.

Answer to question# 24)

Age-adjusted rates can be used for all types of populations hence statement a is not true

Event rates are surely important in public health hence statement b is also not true

Person time is also used in work or labor related problems hence statement d is also not true

Yes, count data is something important when considering data gathered on vampires

Hence only statement d is true
