In many epidemics, the cum ulative num ber of cases grows exponentially, at least over a limited time. A recent exam ple is the spread of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus, comm only called the swine flu, which affected Mexico and the United States especially. On April 24, 2009, there were seven cum ulative cases of swine flu in the United States reported to the World Heal th Organization. Over the next two weeks, the cum ulative num ber of cases in the United States inareased by about 40% each day. If this growth rate had continued, what would have been the cum ulative num ber of cases in the United States reported 45 days after April 24?

People gain weight when they take in more energy from food than they expend. Researchers wanted to investigate the link between obesity and energy spent on daily activity. Choose 20 healthy volunteers who don't exercise. Deliberately choose 10 who are lean and 10 who are mildly obese but still healthy. Attach sensors that monitor the subjects' every move for 10 days. The table below presents data on the time (in minutes per day) that the subjects spent standing or walking, sitting, and lying down. Is there a significant difference between the mean times the two groups spend lying down? Let ?1 be the mean time spent lying down by the lean group, and ?2 be the mean time for the obese group.

Please show all working. A researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety among children and adolescents is higher than the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents. The previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is 4.1%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder by recruiting 98 children and adolescents from various pediatricians’ offices and tests them for generalized anxiety disorder using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.8%. The researcher’s hypothesis, for a level of significance of 5%, should resemble which of the following sets of hypothesis? A) H0: p > .041; H1: p = .041; alpha= .05 B) H0: p > .041; H1: p = .041; alpha= .95 C) H0: p = .041; H1: p > .041; alpha=…
Early life corresponds to the first bacterial colonization of the digestive tract, creating a microbiome thought to play an important role in human development. What might be the effect of early exposure to antibiotics on children's development? One study followed 11,532 full-term babies all born in the county of Avon, United Kingdom, during 1991 and 1992. Exposures to antibiotics during infancy were recorded, along with measures of body mass at regular intervals over several years. The researchers found that antibiotic exposure during the first six months of life was associated with increased body mass later in childhood.
In a certain year, it was estimated that 1,000,000 of the 307,000,000 residents of the United States are HIV-positive. (HIV is the virus that is believed to cause AIDS.) The Repeatedly Reactive Immunoassay (RRIA) diagnostic test correctly diagnoses the presence of AIDS/HIV 99.7% of the time and correctly diagnoses its absence 98.5% of the time. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIV.(b) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative does not have HIV.(c) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive does not have HIV.(d) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative actually has HIV.(e) Which of the probabilities would you be interested in if you or someone close to you tested positive? the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIVthe probability that a person whose test results are negative does not…

A person with tuberculosis is given a chest x-ray. Four tuberculosis x-ray specialists examine each x-ray independently. If each specialist can detect tuberculosis 83% of the time when it is present, what is the probabilty that at least 1 of the specialists will detect a person positive.
In late July 2016, the Ohio Department of Health collected vials of water from 12 beaches on Lake Erie to investigate water quality. Those vials were being tested for E. coli bacteria which are found in human and animal feces and can cause illness and disease, should a swimmer accidentally ingest some water. These beaches had been found to be safe earlier in the summer with E. coli counts, on average of 88 per 100-millileter vial (about 3.4 ounces). However, E. coli counts can change due to weather and other variables. Experts consider it unsafe if a vial contains more than 88 E. coli bacteria. The mean E. coli count in the 12 vials was found to be 113.75 with a standard deviation of 93.9. Is this evidence that the water is unsafe? Test at the 1% level of significance. a) State the hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic and p-value. c) Based on your p-value, state whether or not you will reject the null hypothesis and a statement of your findings, relating back to the problem.
O Macmillan Learning In 2017, the entire fleet of light-duty vehicles sold in the United States by each manufacturer must emit an average of no more than 86 milligrams per mile (mg/mi) of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) over the useful life ( 150,000 miles of driving) of the vehicle. NOX + NMOG emissions over the useful life for one car model vary Normally with mean 82 mg/mi and standard deviation 5 mg/mi. A company has 25 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level of these cars is above 86 mg/mi? Give your answer to four decimal places. probability: MacBook Air
An investigator wants to estimate the impact of smoking on the incidence of prostate cancer. The incidence of prostate cancer by the age of 70 is about 1 in 6 (17%) P2=0.17. U.S. study reporters that heavy smokers had twice the risk of developing prostate cancer as compared to nonsmokers (34%) P1=0.34. A repeat study in England, cohort enrolls men at age 50 and followed them for 30 years. Problem: Generste a 95% confidence level, assume a 20% attrition, and a margin of error of no more than 0.05 (5%) E=0.05
