Problem 4: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a neurological disorder that weakens immunesystems and causes premature aging. Science News reports that when both members of acouple carry the A-T gene, their children have a 1 in 5 chance of developing the disease.Consider 15 couples in which both members of each couple carry the A-T gene. What is theprobability that more than 8 of 15 couples have children that develop the neurologicaldisorder?Answer:

Five mice in a stable population of 500 are intentionally infected with a contagious disease to test a theory of epidemic spread that postulates the rate of change in the infected population is proportional to the product of the number of mice who have the disease with the number that are disease free. Assuming the theory is correct, how long will it take half the population to contract the disease?
