An influenza outbreak occurred in a private high school dormitory that housed 83 students. Case A began on October 1 and cases B

and C were diagnosed on October 2. After approximately 10 days, 44 additional cases occurred in a one week time span. The county epidemiologist believed this second group of cases represented the same generation of cases, and was in the second incubation period after the occurrence of cases A, B, and C; none of the 83 students was known to be immune. What is the secondary attack rate?

Answer:

The secondary attack rate is 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 83

Primary cases: cases A+B+C = 3 primary cases.

Secondary cases = 44

Total cases = 44 + 3 = 47

To find the secondary attack rate, we are to assume that the primary cases are now immune because they had the illness.

We have:

Secondary attack rate = \frac{total cases - primary cases}{number of susceptible - primary cases} * 100

= \frac{47-3}{83-3} * 100

= \frac{44}{80} * 100 = 55

The secondary attack rate is 55%

Please help me and my son I am confused
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

-13p^{4} - 8p^{2} + 4p + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I am having a little trouble reading the number.  I think 5 is the question number and not part of the problem.  I think this is the problem:

(4p - 6p^{4} - 3) - (8p^{2} + 7p^{4} - 6)  You take the opposite of everything inside the second set of parentheses.  You can think of it as multiplying through by -1

4p - 6p^{4} - 3 - 8p^{2} - 7p^{4} + 6  Now we combine like terms.  That is the numbers with the same variable p and the same power of p.

-13p^{4} - 8p^{2} + 4p + 3

Evaluate 2b² - 3b + 4a² for a= -6 and b=8
eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2b^2 - 3b + 4a^2........a =-6 and b = 8

now we sub

2(8^2) - 3(8) + 4(-6^2)

2(64) - 24 + 4(36)

128 - 24 + 144

272 - 24

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(3x+7y)(3x−7y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b) where a=3x and b=7y

Umm if you need more details just ask.

Hope this helps .-.

A ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80°E and a speed of 15 knots. After 1 hour, the ship turns 90° toward the sou
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The bearing is N 55.62° W

Step-by-step explanation:

ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80°E and a speed of 15 knots.

It then turns 90° towards the south after one hour.

Still maintain the same speed and direction for two hours.

The bearing is just the angle difference from the ship current location to where it started.

Let the speed be km/h

Distance covered in the first round

= 15*1

= 15km

Distance covered in the second round

=15*2

= 30 km

Angle at C = (90-80)+90

Angle at C = 10+90= 100

Let the distance between the port and the ship be c

C²= a² + b² -2abcos

C²= 15²+30²-2(15)(30)cos 100

C²= 225+900+156.28

C²= 1281.28

C= 35.8 km

Using sine formula

30/sin x= 35.8/sin 100

30/35.8 * sin 100 = sinx

0.838*0.9848= sin x

0.8253= sin x

Sin ^-1 0.8253 = x

55.62° = x

The bearing is N 55.62° W
