CORRECT.
discrete data - (ANSWER)Data with space between possible data values (ex. final score of a football
game because you cannot have a score of 7.3 to 0.5, for example.)
One Health - (ANSWER)organization that recognizes the connection between the health of people and
the health of animals and the environment
Best place to break the chain of infection - (ANSWER)at the mode of transmission
Animal that carries Q fever - (ANSWER)goat
quantitative data - (ANSWER)numerical data
qualitative data - (ANSWER)descriptive and observable characteristics (like race, gender, ethnicity)
continuous data - (ANSWER)Data that can take on any value in a range and has no space between data.
(ex. the average test score on the final of 93.4 because an average could be any numeric number and
have decimals.
Numeric Data - (ANSWER)same thing as quantitative data, dealing with numbers
Nominal Data - (ANSWER)data of categories only. Data cannot be arranged in an order or rank. (Ex.
Gender, Race, Religion)
binomial data - (ANSWER)two categories for the data (ex. true/false or yes/no)
ordinal data - (ANSWER)data with categories that do have an implicit order. (Ex. educational level, level
of agreement (strongly agree, agree, disagree, etc.))

route of exposure - (ANSWER)the way in which an individual might come into contact with a disease,
such as through contact with organisms or surfaces

tract or breaks in the skin)
portal of exit - (ANSWER)a way for the infectious agent to escape from the reservoir in which it has been
growing to spread to another host
host susceptibility - (ANSWER)The presence or lack of susceptibility of an individual to be infected by the
infectious agent (microorganism)
inductive reasoning - (ANSWER)using specific observations to form a theory
deductive reasoning - (ANSWER)using a general theory to make claims about specific observations
accuracy - (ANSWER)how close measurements are to the true value
Precision - (ANSWER)how close measurements are to each other
Repeatability - (ANSWER)getting the same outcome when the same operator measures the same part
multiple times
reproducibility - (ANSWER)getting the same outcome when different operators measure the same part
multiple times
Epidemiology - (ANSWER)the study and analysis of the distribution and determinants of health-related
states or events (including disease)
