Consider a class with 100 enrolled students. None of the students were ill at the beginning of the school year. On September 30,

a total of five students reported having gastroenteritis. All continued to be ill on October 1 but all five recovered in 3 days. On October 14, another three students developed gastroenteritis. All of these students continued to be ill on October 15, but all three recovered 5 days later. In this example, assume that a person cannot get gastroenteritis more than once.
A. Calculate the pre-valence of gastroenteritis in the class on October 1.
B. Calculate the pre-valence of gastroenteritis in the class on October 30.
C. Calculate the cumulative incidence of gastroenteritis in the class during the month of October.

Answer:

A. Calculate the prevalence of gastroenteritis in the class on October 1.

  • 5%

B. Calculate the prevalence of gastroenteritis in the class on October 30.

  • 0%

C. Calculate the cumulative incidence of gastroenteritis in the class during the month of October.

  • 3.16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Prevalence is calculated using the following formula:

(number of sick people / total number of people measured) x 100%

October 1 = (5 / 100) x 100% = 5%

October 30 = (0 / 100) x 100% = 0%

Cumulative = [3 / (100 - who got sick on September)] x 100% =  (3/95) x 100% = 3.16%

Since 5 students got sick during September, they cannot be included in the cumulative statistics for October. This means that the cumulative denominator will be 95, not 100.

Given the first type of plot indicated in each pair: which of the second plots could not always be generated from it? a. dot plo
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Dot plot is usually in the form of stem & leaf. The only difference is that, stem& leaf presents the actual values while dot plot usually represent the value in dots. Hence, we can easily generate dot plot from stem & leaf!

For (a) dot plot and box plot, dot plot presents all the data while box plot presents only the five-num statistics, namely:

1. minimum

2. 1st quartile (Q1)

3. median

4. 3rd quartile (Q3)

5. Maximum

And outliers, if any!

Thus, dot plot cannot directly generate box plot

For (b). Histogram and stem & leaf. Although both usually help us understand the skewness of data distribution, however, histogram deals with frequency distribution (counts of number of occurrence) and plotted on the intervals and stem&leaf list the values.

For (d). Even though dot plot shoots up and down like the histogram, the content is different. In dot plot, it is the actual value represented in dots. But in histogram, it is the frequency distribution of the class intervals.

. Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour. Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gall
taurus [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.

= 10 - 2x

Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.

= 10 + 4x

Equating both Equations together

10 - 2x = 10 + 4x

10 - 10 = 4x - 2x

How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?

Let the time = x

Yes, 0.1 is less than 5.00. 

5.00 is a whole number, while 0.1 is less than that, so yes, you were correct.

Have a nice day! :)

Tim was given a large bag of sweets and ate one third of the sweets before stopping as he was feeling sick. The next day he ate
mars1129 [50]

Answer: In the beginning he was given 27 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation: The most logical thing to do is to solve it backwards, that is, from what he had at the end of the third day up till the beginning of the first day.

On the third day he ate one-third and had 8 sweets left over. To determine how many he started with on the third day, let the total on day three be called a. If one-third of a is eaten, then the left over which is two-thirds is 8. That is;

8/a = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

8 x 3 = 2a

24/2 = a

a = 12

Let the number of sweets he had on day two be called b. If he ate one-third of b and he had 12 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 12 and we now have;

12/b = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

12 x 3 = 2b

36 = 2b

36/2 = b

b = 18

Let the number of sweets he had on day one be called x. If he ate one-third of x and he had 18 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 18, and we now have;

18/x = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

18 x 3 = 2x

54 = 2x

x = 27

Therefore Tim was given 27 sweets at the beginning.
