4.068 is the answer to it
The independent variable is x
y is dependent on the value of x
The slope is 2.
Since the line "y = 2x − 8" follows slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), and the slope is always m, we know that the value of the slope is 2.
Answer:
The prevalence rate of flu cases requiring hospitalization thus far in 2018 is:
= 0.13%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Population of Portland, ME = 70,000
Number of flu cases requiring hospitalization on February 1st, 2018 = 43
Number of flu cases requiring hospitalization on July 4th, 2018 = 90
The prevalence rate of flu cases requiring hospitalization thus far in 2018 = 90/70,000 * 100 = 0.13%
b) The prevalence rate represents the proportion of the population of Portland, ME, who have the flu at the time that the Maine Public Health Department reported the number of flu cases requiring hospitalization on July 4th, 2018.
