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.

What are the coordinates of a point that is 7 strides west of (2,-1)
Marat540 [252]
(-5,-1) would be the coordinates since the only thing we’re changing by moving west is that we’re subtracting from the x value. Therefore, 2-7 is -5 so we get -5,-1

Answer: 1. d. 7x\geq 350; x\geq 50

2. a. (5, 28)

3. a: C(n) = 0.90 n - 0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Here x represents the saving of one day.

Thus, the total saving for 7 day = 7 x

And, my  goal is to save at least $350.00  ( According to the question)

⇒ 7x\geq 350

⇒  x\geq 50 ( by dividing both sides by 7 )

Therefore, Option d is correct.

2. since, if a point satisfies an equation then we can say that it is the solution of the equation.

(5,28) satisfies y= 5x + 3

Because at x = 5, 5×5 + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28

except this point other points (28, 5), (4, 20) and (3, 19) are not satisfying given equation of line.

Therefore, only (5,28) is the solution of line.

⇒ Option a is correct.

3. Here n represents the number of tunas.

And, according to question the cost of one tuna = $0.90

⇒ Cost of n tunas = $ 0.90n

But again according to the question,

I have a coupon for $0.40 off your total purchase.

Thus, $ 0.40 will be less from my total purchasing cost.

⇒ The cost of n tunas = $ (0.90 n - 0.4)

Option a is correct.
