Swaziland is a small country relative to many other nations and the age distribution has more young people than old people. Thus, the epidemiologists who collected and analyzed the data want to know how these rates compare to other countries. Before making any comparisons, the epidemiologists first perform age adjustment. Why is it important to make age adjustment before comparing the data?

The Zoomland epidemic does not mimic a real epidemic in every respect. What is ONE way the Zoomland epidemic is not an entirely realistic simulation? A. In the Zoomland epidemic we could tell who had interacted with whom (contact tracing). In real life there is no way to do any contact tracing. B. In the Zoomland epidemic people interacted randomly with others. In real life people interact much more with some members of the population than others. C. In the Zoomland epidemic, transmission only occurred when a person came into contact with an infected person AND a suitable vector. In real life some diseases do not require a vector for successful transmission.
