There is a direction in this assignment where the projection of WNV in Genericville is 50 cases. It also mentions that in 2006, there were 4,269 cases, of WNV including 177 fatalities. It follows with the proposal that the Malathion would reduce the mosquito population by 90% which would drop the cases from 50 to five with less than 20% chance of fatality.

Question

There is a direction in this assignment where the projection of WNV in Genericville is 50 cases. It also mentions that in 2006, there were 4,269 cases, of WNV including 177 fatalities. It follows with the proposal that the Malathion would reduce the mosquito population by 90% which would drop the cases from 50 to five with less than 20% chance of fatality.

Unfortunately, the direction includes a table to project future records.
According to the numbers above I have not reached this level of math and have No Idea how to do this part.

Answer 1

I have no idea what you need.

Answer 2

I don't know this math, but the instruction of the assignment says that we are to make a "projection chart" based on the information of record.

How do I multiply/divide, etc., in order to find the "future" numbers?

Answer 3

To project future records based on the given information, we need to use the numbers provided and apply the proposed reduction in mosquito population and fatality rate.

First, let's break down the given information:
- In 2006, there were 4,269 cases of West Nile Virus (WNV), including 177 fatalities.
- The current projection for WNV cases in Genericville is 50.
- The proposal suggests that the use of Malathion would reduce the mosquito population by 90%.
- With this reduction, the projection for WNV cases would drop to 5.
- The proposal also claims that there would be less than a 20% chance of fatality for these cases.

Now, let's explain how we can calculate the projected future records.

1. Calculate the projected number of WNV cases after using Malathion:
To reduce the mosquito population by 90% means that only 10% of the original population will remain. So, the projected number of WNV cases after the reduction would be:

projected cases = current projection * reduction percentage
= 50 * 0.1
= 5

Therefore, the projected number of WNV cases after using Malathion is 5.

2. Determine the projected fatality rate:
The proposal claims that there would be less than a 20% chance of fatality for these cases. Let's assume the "less than" means 20% or below. So, the projected fatality rate would be:

projected fatalities = projected cases * fatality rate
= 5 * 0.2
= 1

Therefore, the projected number of fatalities is 1.

Based on the given information and the proposed reductions, the future projected records for WNV in Genericville are: 5 cases and 1 fatality.
