According to CDC estimates, more than 2.82.8 million people in the United States are sickened each year
Question:
According to CDC estimates, more than 2.82.8 million people in the United States are sickened each year with antibiotic‑resistant infections, with at least 35,00035,000 dying as a result. Antibiotic resistance occurs when disease‑causing microbes become resistant to antibiotic drug therapy. Because this resistance is typically genetic and transferred to the next generations of microbes, it is a very serious public health problem. Of the infections considered most serious by the CDC, gonorrhea has an estimated 1.14 million1.14 million new cases occurring annually, and approximately 50%50% of those cases are resistant to any antibiotic. Assume a health clinic in California sees 55 patients with gonorrhea in a given week.
Information obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, at www.cdc.gov.
(a) What is the distribution of ????, the number of these 55 cases that are resistant to any antibiotic?
binomial with ????=0.5 and ????=5=0.5 and =5
binomial with ????=1,140,000 and ????=0.5=1,140,000 and =0.5
binomial with ????=5 and ????=2.5=5 and =2.5
binomial with ????=5 and ????=0.5=5 and =0.5
binomial with ????=5 and ????=50
