Question

So what would be the percent of absent seizure cases within a population. (sorry I could only find percent of absent seizure cases amongst epilepsy population). Math problem - Thank You

Answer 1

0.5% is 0.005. 1.5% is 0.015.

Multiply 0.005 x 0.015 = 0.000075.

To get percentage, multiply by 100, you get 0.0075%

Answer 2

I don't know the numbers, but it's absence seizures, not absent.
