We know that if the probability of an event happening is 100%, then the event is a certainty. Can it be concluded that there is a 50% chance of contracting a communicable disease through contact with an infected person, there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person? Explain your answer
Homework Answers
No, it can not be conclude that there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person.
Let me explain.
There's 50% chance of contracting a communicable disease through contact with an infected person every time.
So if the person does not infected first time then he/ she may or may not be infected second time with probability 0.5 given that the person does not infected first time.
So that there is not 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person.

Part A - SIR model for the spread of disease Overview. This part of the assignment uses a mix of theory and data to estimate the contact number c=b/k of an epidemic and hence to estimate the infection-spreading parameter b. The point is that once you know the value of b for a certain disease and population, you can use it in your model the next time there is an cpidemic, thus cnabling you to make predictions about the demand...

1. a) An insurance company believes that people can be divided into two classes: those who are accident prone and those who are not. The company's statistics show that an accident-prone person will have an accident at some time within a fixed 1-year period with probability .4, whereas this probability decreases to .2 for a person who is not...

A person with the following utility function, u(x) = ln(x) faces a world where with probability 0.1 will suffer of identity theft which will reduce their wealth from $250000 to $100000. This means that we can write: E{u(.)] = 0.91n(x) +0.1ln(y) where x would be the wealth under no identity theft and y the wealth under identity theft. This means that the marginal utilities are: MU 0.9, MUy = 0.1 Using this information answer the following questions 1) What is...

A truelfalse test has 100 questions. Suppose a passing grade is 60 or more correct answers. Test the claim that a student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing. Assume the student gets 60 answers correct out of 100. Use a significance level of 0.05. Steps 1 and 2 of a hypothesis test procedure are given below. Show step 3, finding the test statistic and the p-value and step 4, interpreting the results. Step 1:...

In this problem, your goal is to identify who among a group of people has a certain disease. You collect a blood sample from each of the people in the group, and label them 1 through n. Suppose that you know in advance that exactly one person is infected with the disease, and you must identify who that person is by performing blood tests. In a single blood test, you can specify any subset of the samples, combine a drop...

This is the question and sub-questions involved in the

Example a) On this example we will examine the probability a couple who has 8 children and has exactly 5 boys. b) Next we will look at the probability that they have more than 5 boys. c) Finally we will look at the probability that they have at most 5 boys. Assume a .5 chance of having a boy. Solution can be solved using excel. a) On this example we will examine the probability a couple who has 8 children...

Let x be a random variable that represents white blood cell count per cubic milliliter of whole blood. Assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with mean μ = 7650 and estimated standard deviation σ = 2850. A test result of x < 3500 is an indication of leukopenia. This indicates bone marrow depression that may be the result of a viral infection. (a) What is the probability that, on a single test, x is less than...
