Partial Power Loss

A geniune question to you all fellow flight instructors out there. What are the chances of getting a full engine failure (of course other than fuel starvation)? Statatics shows that most of the time its partial power loss rather than full loss. How would one simulate partial power loss with mixture control (safely)?
And if one is using mixture controls at low altitude, how would you rectify a vapour lock?
