Question

Question 11: Where possible, using the improved line listing, calculate incubation periods and ilustrate their distribution with an appropriate graph (using Excel or any other graphing software) Remember, you can only calculate incubation periods for persons who gaveaTime of Meal Use hour increments on the x-axis. Question 12 What is the range (inolude minimum and maximum), the mean, the mode, and the median of the incubation periods. Using the information on incubation period, combined with the data on clinical symptoms, conduct a differential diagnosis of the illness and name the agent you believe is responsible for this outbreak? You have enough information to answer with only one (1) agent. Explain your answer. (Please refer to the Compendium of Acute Foodborne Gastrointestinal Disease to identify the most likely agent of infection).

Answer 1

Question 11:

Where possible, using the new line listing, calculate incubation periods and illustrate their distribution with an appropriate graph.

Incubation Period = time period between Meal time and onset time

Meal Time	Onset Time	Incubation Period
11:00am	3:00pm	4 hours (1 person) ( 11:00am to 3:00pm)
6:30pm	12:30am	6 hours (2 people) (6:30pm to 12:30am)
7:00pm	11:00pm	4 hours (1 person) (7:00pm to 11:00pm)
7:00pm	1:00am	6 hours (1 person) (7:00pm to 1:00am)
7:30pm	10:30pm	3 hours (2 people) (7:30pm to 10:30pm)
7:30pm	2:30am	7 hours (1 person) (7:30pm to 2:30am)
7:30pm	2:00am	6.5 hours (2 people) (7:30pm to 2:00am)
7:30pm	11:30pm	4 hours (1 person) (7:30pm to 11:30pm )
7:30pm	1:00am	5.5 hours (1 person) (7:30pm to 1:00am)
7:30pm	12:00am	4.5 hours (1 person) (7:30pm to 12:00am)
10:00pm	1:00am	3 hours (8 people) (10:00pm to 1:00am)
