"Polio has a basic reproduction number (R0) = 5. The vaccine is very good; in fact, polio vaccine is 99% effective when two foll

ow up booster shots are given. What proportion of a population needs to be vaccinated in order for herd immunity to be effective? Be sure to enter your answer as a decimal, not as a percentage."

Answer:

0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Herd immunity or community immunity is the immunity seen after vaccination of a population wherein the large portion of the population becomes immune to the pathogen. It depends on vaccine efficacy and vaccination rate.

The reproduction number R_o is a factor indicating the number of people that can be infected by the person with the disease. If Ro=5 then one infected person can infect 5 people with Polio virus.

V_c= q_c/E

V_c= Vaccine coverage

q_c= herd immunity threshold

E= Vaccine efficacy= 99%=0.99

q_c=1-1/R_o= 1-1/5=0.8

V_c= q_c/E

V_c= 0.8/0.99= 0.808= 0.81

Thus, 81% coverage or vaccination for Polio is required to stop spread of Polio in the population.

The population of a city is 250,000 and the annual growth rate is 2.2%. Write an equation to model the population y after x year
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

y= 250000(1.022)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a city is 250,000 and the annual growth rate is 2.2%

General equation for exponential growth is

y= P(1+r)^x

Where y is final population and P is the initial population

'r' is the rate of growth and x is the number of years

p = 25000 and r= 2.2%= 0.022. Replace all the values in the general equaiton

y= P(1+r)^x

y= 250000(1.022)^x

Answer:

85t

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Volume of a cone: 1. V = (1/3)πr2h 2. Slant height of a cone: 1. s = √(r2 + h2) 3. Lateral surface area of a cone: 1. L = πrs = πr√(r2 + h2) 4. Base surface area of a cone (a circle): 1. B = πr2 5. Total surface area of a cone: 1. A = L + B = πrs + πr2 = πr(s + r) = πr(r + √(r2 + h2))

hope this helps
