Figure 2 shows the relationship in Africa between annual all-cause mortality rates in children ages 0-4 and P.
falciparum malaria transmission intensity. Regions are classified into one of four categories based on
childhood malaria prevalence:
1 childhood infection prevalence ranges from 0-24%
2-childhood infection prevalence ranges from 25-50%
3-childhood infection prevalence ranges from 51-74%
4-childhood infection prevalence ranges from 75-100%

FORUM DESCRIPTION
DB1.1: Mathematical modelling is an important skill in egineering. If there are behaviors and phenomena that you want to model what would it be and why?
Suppose that an urban geographer is studying historical changes in housing characteristics in London, England. She wishes to determine if house size (square feet of living area) and the number of years since home construction are associated. What method could she use to learn if such a relationship exists.

All of the children were healthy and breastfed by mothers who did not smoke. Children in the sample lived in socioeconomic conditions favorable to normal physical growth. Variables such as parental education level and income level were used to exclude children whose growth was “environmentally constrained”; however, low-weight full term babies were included if their mothers met socioeconomic and nutritional criteria. In short, the study design attempted to include healthy children from a wide range of ethnic and cultural groups whose home environments reasonably assured the conditions for healthy physical growth. This data was used to produce growth charts that are part of every pediatrician’s toolkit for monitoring a child’s overall…arrow_forward
- Question 4 of 15 A pharmacist believes that the active ingredient in medicine decreases linearly over time. To test this, a random sample of 6 medicines were selected and the concentration of active ingredient was measured, in milligrams (mg). Three months later, the concentration of active ingredient was measured again. For each medicine, the beginning and ending amount of active ingredient is listed in the table. Beginning active ingredient (mg) Ending active ingredient (mg) 200 230 285 325 390 410 Which of the following is the value of the correlation between the beginning concentration of active ingredient and the ending concentration of active ingredient?
