In a population of 200,000 people, 40,000 are infected with a virus. After a person becomes infected and then recovers, the person is immune (cannot become infected again). Of the people who are infected, 5% will die each year and the others will recover. Of the people who have never been infected, 35% will become infected each year. How many people will be infected in 4 years? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

The measles virus is very contagious. 13 people per 100,000 infected with the virus die. However, once a person has been successfully vaccinated, they cannot be seriously harmed by the virus. Unfortunately, vaccination involves an injection of a weakened form of the virus, which means there is a 0.01% chance that a person can die due to the vaccination process itself. From the perspective of total welfare, should measles vaccinations be made compulsory. Why or why not?

a virus is spreading on a small deserted island. The total number of people infected by the virus t days after the outbreak is given by the model p(t)=5200/(1+20^(-t+15)). the different parts can be solved independently. a. How many people will be infected in the long run? (hint: compute the limit of p as t goes too infinity.) b. The island only has a small hospital with a capacity of 250 patients. When will the total number of infections reach...

Here is another infectious disease model. Once a person becomes infected, the time X, in days, until the person becomes infectious (can pass on the disease) can be modeled as a Weibull random variable with density function    f(x,α,β) = (α/βα)xα−1e−(x/β)α for 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞ and 0 otherwise with α = 3.7 and β = 7.1 α is the shape parameter and β is the scale parameter. Hint: Solve this with the built-in R functions for the Weibull...

In a large population of people, some individuals are infected with a rare disease and some are not. Let POS represent the event that an individual is infected, and let NEG represent the event that an individual is not infected.   A blood test can be administered to try to find out whether an individual is infected. Let represent the event that the test result is positive [i.e., the test indicates that the individual is infected] and let represent the event...

Most people who are infected with the HTLV-1 virus are asymptomatic carriers. One specific subtype of HTLV-I occurs only in a sub-population of the Japanese population and among the native peoples of the Andes mountain area of northern Chile. The researchers are looking for the presence of HTLV-1 DNA in the bone marrow cells of well-preserved Andean mummies. The presence of HTLV-1 DNA in the mummies, of the same subtype observed in Japan, would indicate that some of the first...

The standard HIV test detects HIV antibodies rather than the virus itself. When a person becomes infected with HIV, it takes a few weeks for the HIV test to indicate a positive result. Based on the information provided, which of the following processes occurs in the time between infection and detection? A) cell-mediated immunity B) more macrophages are produced C) more viruses are produced D) humoral immunity
