Solution:-
Two examples of math statistics being used in relation with covid-19.
1) Baye's theorem from statistics is used in Testing patience for Covid-19.
No test is 100% accurate to detect the novel coronavirus. We feel satisfied when we are told that the tests are 98.5% accurate in detecting COVID infections. The different terms in testing used are:
1) True positive: A person with COVID-19 tests positive for COVID-19
2) False positive: A person without COVID-19 tests positive for COVID-19
3) False negative: A person with COVID-19 tests negative for COVID-19
4) True negative: A person without COVID-19 tests negative for COVID-19
2) Graphical representation from statistics is used in showing the total cases Covid-19 in different cities and country.
Pie chart, Histogram and Bar graphs, scatter plot and box and whisker plots are used in representing data for Covid 19.
