Complete question is;
A. imagine that you are one of the people who left the luncheon with a contagious disease and interacted with an average of 9 different people each day. how many people could potentially be infected in 7 days?
b. imagine the other remaining persons who received the contagious disease at the end of the luncheon interacted with an average of 6 different people per day. how many people could potentially be infected in 7 days by these others who left the luncheon?
Answer:
A) 63
B) 294
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are told that the person that has the disease comes in contact with an average of 9 persons each day. Thus, for 7 days, he would have infected;
Number of people infected for 7 days = 9 × 7 = 63 people
B) If patient zero is excluded, there will be seven other people in the experiment. Now, we are told that each of them interacted with 6 different people every day in 7 days.
Thus, number of people infected each day = 7 people infected x 6 new people = 42 infected people each day,
Them for 7 days;
= 42 infected people each day x 7 days = 294 infected persons.
