A population of 1,000 healthy, at risk people is monitored for one year starting on January 1st, and the development of cases of

chicken pox is noted. No one has chicken pox at the start of the investigation. Twenty people develop chicken pox on June 30th and forty people develop chicken pox on September 30th. Twenty-four people were lost to follow-up on March 31st, and twenty-four people were lost to follow-up on November 30th. None of those lost to follow-up had developed chicken pox prior to becoming lost. Assume that you can get chicken pox only once.
Required:
What is the cumulative incidence of chicken pox in this population during the one-year period from January 1st through December 31st?

Answer:

\mathbf{cummulative \ incidence = \dfrac{60}{1000}}

Explanation:

We recognize that total occurrence equals new cases of disease over time divided by the number of people at risk at the onset.

Mathematically:

\mathbf{cummulative \ incidence = \dfrac{New \ cases \ of \ disease \ occurrence}{Number  \ of \ population \ at \ risk \ at \ onset}}

Given that:

Number of the population at risk = 1000 individuals

New cases during Jan 1 - Dec 31 = 60 because;

At 20 occurred on June 30 & 40 on Sept. 30) & no new cases were identified after that:

∴

\mathbf{cummulative \ incidence = \dfrac{60}{1000}}

Why did sumerians need to trade
Zepler [3.9K]
As any other ancient civilization, the Sumerians were traders as well. And they had a few good reasons to do this. 

Because they traded, their trading partners were less likely to attack them, because it would hurt their economy as well. Furthermore, they didn't produce everything they needed and traded those goods with goods which they produced too much of. 

And lastly, through trade they could also get exotic goods which they would have never gotten otherwise.

Attached is the image respective of the question. 

First, both the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm are hydrophilic. The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic hence it either faces the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm. The lipid tail of the phospholipid is hydrophobic hence it is confined in the middle of the plasma membrane. Both cytoplasmic and the extracellular fluid ends of the transmembrane protein are hydrophilic and the middle part of the transmembrane protein is hydrophobic.
