Question

Oak pollen sent 21,000 people to U.S. emergency rooms for asthma in 2010. By 2090 the rate could climb another 5 or 10 percent. If true, what would the numbers then be Show your work.

Answer 1

The probable number of prople sent to US emergency rooms by 2090 can be between 22,050 and 23,100

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sent to US emergency room by 2010= 21000

The estimated increase in the rise of cases = 5 to 10% by 2090

Final numbers in 2090

Hence the final numbers in 2090 would be 5 to 10% more than the total cases in 2010

Lower limit= 5% of 21000= 1050

Hence lower limit of cases in 2090= 21000+1050= 22050

Upper limit of cases in 2090= 10% of 21000= 21000+2100= 23,100

The number would lie anywhere between 22050 and 23,100 in 2090
