I feel like we had a similar question on the last quiz, and I chose relative risk then too.

I keep mixing up odds ratio and relative risk. This question is tricky!

I remember something about incidence and prevalence, but this definition seems to fit relative risk better.

I think this might be about relative risk, but I'm not completely sure. It sounds familiar from our last practice session.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the question and the SQL statements to understand what's going on.
