Survival Rate Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Survival Rate.
SVR = S / D * 100
- Where SVR is the Survival Rate (%)
- #S is the number of survivors
- #D is the number of people that contracted the disease
To calculate the survival rate, divide the number of survivors by the number of people that contracted the disease, then multiply by 100.
How to Calculate Survival Rate?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Survival Rate.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the number of survivors.
- The number of survivors is given as: 500.
- Next, determine the number of people that contracted the disease.
- The number of people that contracted the disease is provided as: 2000.
- Finally, calculate the Survival Rate using the equation above:
SVR = #S / #D * 100
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
SVR = 500 / 2000 * 100 = 25.00 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
number of survivors = 600
number of people that contracted the disease = 1800
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
SVR = #S / #D * 100 = ?
