There were 500 children in Group 1 and 1,000 children in Group 2 that were diagnosed with diabetes during the study period. Chisquare analysis of the data yielded a p value of 0.01. 8. What is the absolute risk of diabetes in the 2 groups? 9. Calculate the relative risk and interpret the nding. 10. What is the attributable risk of the study? 11. What is the number needed to treat
