A new coronavirus recently triggered a global pandemic. It spreads from 5 cases in March to tens of thousands by May in the Philippines. Case contamination is comparable to what we call exponential spread.
Create a table of values representing the covid19 confirmed cases in the Philippines during the first 15 days of March 2020. You can conduct your research online and then plot the results on a Cartesian plane. You can use paper and pencil or any graphing app that is appropriate.
Questions to ponder:
In order to slow down the growth, what can you do to the curve? In real-life, what must be done to flatten the curve? _________________
The U.S. Geological Survey monitors and reports on earthquakes, providing daily real-time, worldwide earthquake lists. Some of the information for four of the 105 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or greater that occurred on May 10, 2013, is shown in the following table. Magnitude is given on the Richter scale and NST stands for the number of stations that reported the activity on the same earthquake. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

Management has learned the best time to introduce a new toy for the holiday season is in October when many families begin looking for holiday gifts. Specialty plans to introduce a new product called "Weather Teddy," a talking teddy bear with a built in barometer that predicts weather conditions. When a child presses the bear’s hand, it will respond with one of five possible weather predictions, ranging from "It looks to be a very nice day! Have Fun!" to "I think it may rain today. Don’t forget your umbrella." Product tests show its predictions are about as good as those of many local weather forecasters. Since you understand statistics, your boss comes to you for help in deciding how many Weather Teddy units to order for the holiday season.

One student plans to weigh a rock 20 times and then calculate the average of the 20 measurements to estimate her rock's true weight. A second student plans to weigh a rock 5 times and calculate the average of the 5 measurements to estimate his rock's true weight. Let’s say that the student who collected 20 weight measurements came up with a mean weight of 27.1 g with a standard deviation of 2.3 grams. The critical T-value for a 95% (one-sample) confidence interval with df = 19 is 2.09. Which of the following is the resulting 95% confidence interval?

- A team of UMD students have invented an inhalable drug that they think will help people breathe better during hard exercise. They test the drug on 3 volunteers (A, B, and C) by measuring their levels of arterial oxygen before receiving the drug (their base level) and then after 5 and 10 minutes have elapsed, respectively. The results are listed in the table. Oxygen level [mmHg] A B C base level 847076 after 5 minutes 85 74 81 after 10 minutes 90 75 98 We want to see how the drug work (better or worse) when compared to the base level.
