In an area of Washington, the occurrence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was investigated among the native white population (679,478 individuals) and among those of Japanese origin (16,122 individuals). At the time of the investigation it was found that for the two groups there were 395 and 10 cases of MS respectively. Which measure of disease occurrence can be calculated? Calculate it for each group.

Two cities each had a population of 1,000,000 in 2010, with the same number of lung cancer-related deaths occurring in the year.
