There are about 10,000 susceptible people living in this 1 km2 village. People who catch the disease stay sick for about 7 days, and you estimate the chance an infected individual will pass the disease to a susceptible they meet is 0.0001. What is R0 for this disease?g

7

Step-by-step explanation:

R0 is basic reproduction number, is the average number of people from one other person, and is given by the following equation:

R0 = t * c * d

where t is the transmissibility and in this case it is 0.0001

c is the average rate of contact between susceptible and infected individuals and in this case it is 10000

d is the duration of infectiousness and is 7 days

we replace:

R0 = 0.0001 * 10000 * 7

R0 = 7

R0 for this disease is 7

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
