Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is generally referred when people get affected with MRSA without being hospitalized or not have been undergone any medical procedure for the past one year. A report says the prevalence has reached to 39%.in adults and 50.2% in children (Shipeng Li et al, 2014).
Community acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is a cause of skin infections. A case-control study is conducted to explore the association between having a cat in the household and CA-MRSA. The results of the study are given below. CA-MRSA 146 230 No CA-MRSA 120 504 Cat in household No cat in household Calculate the OR and 95% Confidence Interval for MRSA for cat owners compared to non-cat owners. Please show your work.

It is known that the prevalence of Leptospira in the cattle population is 30%. Each animal in the population is either seropositive for Leptospira or not. Blood samples from eight cattle are randomly selected from the population. What is the probability that exactly two of the cattle are positive for Leptospira?
