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.

AfilCa [17]
The only thing we need to here to find who is correct is evaluate the function f(x)=-2 x^{2} +32 at x=3. To do that we are going to replace x with 3 in the function:
f(x)=-2 x^{2} +32
f(3)=-2 (3)^{2} +32
f(3)=-2 (9) +32
f(3)=-18+32
f(3)=14

We can conclude that Lynn is correct. f(3) is indeed 14.
