Question

there are 500,000 bacteria at the end of a pin point. 1000 bacteria can make a person sick. then bacteria at the tip of a pin point can make 500 people sick. Also, many people do not know that bacteria can (reproduce). Let's say there are 5 bacteria and we leave it for 15 minutes. bacteria will multiply to 10. if left for up to 30 minutes, 20 bacteria will form. if left up to 45 minutes. bacteria will multiply up to 40. every 15 minutes the bacteria will double 2. if you start with five bacteria that reproduce every 15 minutes, how manu bacteria would you have after 12 hours ?

If the bacteria double every 15 minutes, we can calculate the number of bacteria after 12 hours (720 minutes) by dividing the total time by the doubling time. Doubling time = 15 minutes Total time = 12 hours = 720 minutes Number of doubling periods = Total time / Doubling time Number of doubling periods = 720 minutes / 15 minutes = 48 doubling periods Now, if you start with 5 bacteria and they double 48 times, you can calculate the total number of bacteria using the formula: Final number of bacteria = Initial number of bacteria * (2^Number of doubling periods) Final number of bacteria = 5 * (2^48) Calculating this, we get: Final number of bacteria = 1,407,374,883,553,280 So, after 12 hours, starting with 5 bacteria that double every 15 minutes, you would have 1,407,374,883,553,280 bacteria.

Your boss asks you to plan the sample size for a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the clinical development of a cure for irritable bowl disease. Current standard treatment shall be compared with a new treatment in this trial. The S3-guideline of AWM demonstrated a mean change of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire at 8 weeks of 16 with standard deviation 23 under standard treatment. You quote the drop-out rate of 11% from literature (previous phase of clinical development). Your research yielded a clinically important effect of 4 that has been found to be the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). In order to demonstrate superiority of the new treatment over standard of care, you assume that the change in of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire follows a normal distribution, and that the standard deviation is the same for both treatments. How many patientes would one need to recruit for the trial to demonstrate the clinically interesting difference between treatments at significance level 5% with 95% power?
Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is considered the main infectious disease in Brazilian equine farming, for which there is no effective vaccine or treatment. It is caused by a retrovirus of the genus Lentivirus, which affects horses, donkeys and mules and is transmitted in nature mainly by hematophagous insects of the genus Tabanidae. Researchers analyzed the records of 9,439 equids from Acre, submitted to the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) for equine infectious anemia (EIA), between 1986 and 1996. Of these, 6199 tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA) . Knowing that the age of AIE-positive horses follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 5 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years, determine the expected number of AIE-positive horses in the Acre sample that will be aged less than or equal to 3 years. ATTENTION: Provide the answer to exactly FOUR decimal places.
