Answer:

The correct answer is B) 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the vaccine is already and is 80% effective. This means that if the entire population was administered with the vaccine, only 8/10 would gain immunity leaving 2/10 or 0.2 exposed.

If the new vaccine, therefore, is supposed to be 90% effective, it is only pragmatic to administer it against those who do not have immunity which is 0.2 of the existing population.

So to get the percentage that will develop immunity, we have:

0.2 x 0.9 = 0.18 or 18%

Cheers!

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

58.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

56 65 62 53 68 58 65 52 56

Reorderd data: 52, 53, 56, 56, 58, 62, 65, 65, 68

Median = 1/2(n + 1) th term

n = sample size = 9

Hence,

Median = 1/2(9 + 1)th term

Median = 1/2(10)th term

Median = 5th term

5th term in the reordered data = 58

Hence, median age is 58
