Strain B started with a genetic mutation in patient zero that caused them to turn into a zombie. This strain differs from A in that all zombies can infect new people. Zombies infected with strain B can infect 1 person every minute.
Using the CDC Virus Information, determine which type of graph for STRAIN B and write an equation to show the number of zombies after each minute.

determine how many people would be infected in 11 minutes.
Based on the information given, a bar graph would be suitable for representing the number of zombies after each minute for STRAIN B.
To determine the number of zombies after each minute, we can use the equation:
Number of zombies = 1 + (Rate of infection per minute * Number of minutes elapsed)
For STRAIN B, the rate of infection per minute is 1, since one zombie can infect 1 person every minute.
Using the given data, we can calculate the number of zombies after each minute:
minutes | number of zombies
0 | 1
1 | 2
2 | 3
3 | 4
4 | 5
5 | 6
6 | 7
7 | 8
8 | 9
9 | 10
10 | 11
So, after 11 minutes, there would be 11 zombies.
