Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prevalence rate is calculated as the number of cases of a disease present in a population at a specific time divided by the number of individuals in the population, then multiplied by 100 to get a percentage. Here, 400 cases of measles in a population of 800 individuals gives a prevalence rate of (400/800)*100 = 50%.
