Return Risk analysis 8 0/5 points What is the number of statistical lives lost to pesticide use? When one unit of pesticide is applied to a crop of tomatoes, there is a 50% chance that 50% of the tomatoes will be contaminated, and a 50% that 100% of the tomatoes will be contaminated. The cleaning process gets rid of the contaminants in 80% of the cases with a probability of 50% and in 50% of the cases with probability 50%. With the remaining contaminants on the tomatoes, 1% of the population will die with a probability of 80% and 5% will die with a probability of 20%. The population that consumes this crop of tomatoes is 1,000,000. Answer should be in whole numbers, or rounded to the closest whole number. 828 9 0/5 points There is a new medicine with a efficacy rate of 99% (that is, only 1% of those contaminated will die).
