The population of a city on April 15, 1915, was 47,175. During the period between March 1 and July 1, 1915, 1,325 new cases of smallpox occurred in the city. Of these cases, 642 persons were ill with smallpox according to surveillance reports on June 1, 1915. The monthly incident rate (per 1,000) of active cases of influence for the 4-month period was:

the incidence rate is 28.47

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the monthly incident rate of active cases is shown below:

Incidence rate is

= 1325 ÷  (47175 - 642) × 1000

= (1325 ÷ 46533 ) ×  1000

= 28.47

hence, the incidence rate is 28.47

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
