In order for a vaccine to be effective, it should reduce a person's chance of acquiring a disease. Consider a hypothetical vacci

ne for malaria—a tropical disease that kills between 1.5 and 2.7 million people every year. Suppose the vaccine is tested with 300 volunteers in a village who are malaria free at the beginning of the trial. One hundred of the volunteers will get the experimental vaccine and the rest will not be vaccinated. Suppose that the chance of contracting malaria is for those who are not vaccinated. Construct a two-way table to show the results of the experiment if:
A) The vaccine has no effect.
B) The vaccine cuts the risk of contracting malaria in half.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that Suppose the chance of contracting malaria is 10% for those who are not vaccinated ;   (since the value) is not given.

Thus;

If the vaccine has no effect, risk of malaria for vaccine and no vaccine are equal to 0.1

Probability of not getting malaria if vaccinated or no vaccinated = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

                          Malaria                No Malaria               Total

Vaccinated     100 * 0.1 = 10        100 * 0.9 = 90                         100

No Vaccine     200 * 0.1 = 20   200 * 0.9 = 180        300-100 = 200

Total                 20 + 10 = 30       90 + 180 = 270                       300

If the vaccine cuts the risk by half, risk of malaria for vaccinated are equal to 0.1/2 = 0.05

Probability of not getting malaria if vaccinated = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

                          Malaria                No Malaria               Total

Vaccinated     100 * 0.05 = 5         100 * 0.95 = 95                 100

No Vaccine     200 * 0.1 = 20   200 * 0.9 = 180        300-100 = 200

Total                 20 + 5 = 25       90 + 180 = 275                         300

Write the equation of the line through (3,9) and (-2,9)
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m is the slope =y2-y1/x2-x1=9-9/-2-3=0

pick any number out of the given two for (x1, x2)

y-9 = 0*(x-3) so

y-9 = 0 add 9 to both sides

y = 9

What is the equation for an arithmetic sequence when n = 7 and t(n) = 54
antiseptic1488 [7]
You've given us a single term of an arithmetic series. So far, there are an infinite number of different series that it could be a member of. ... In fact, ANY function f (n) for which f (7) = 54 produces a suitable series for whole-number values of 'n'. Here are a few: ... T(n) = n + 47. ... T (n) = 8n - 2. ... T (n) = -10n + 124 .

In the exercise, X is a binomial variable with n = 5 and p = 0.2. Compute the given probability. Check your answer using technol
Ronch [10]

Answer:

0.0512

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that X isa Binomial variable. Hence we solve this question, using the formula for Binomial probability.

The formula for Binomial Probability = P(x) = (n!/(n - x) x!) × p^x × q ^n - x

In the above question,

x = 3

n = 5

p = probability for success = 0.2

q = probability for failures = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

P(x) = (n!/(n - x) x!) × p^x × q ^n - x

P(3) = (5!/(5 - 3) 3!) × 0.2^3 × 0.8^5-3

P(3) =( 5!/2! × 3!) × 0.2³ × 0.8²

P(3) = 10 × 0.008 × 0.64

P(3) = 0.0512
