Recently, a report was published describing a string of cases of Norwalk virus gastroenteritis among passengers on cruise ships. From this report, an epidemiologist went on to form a number of hypotheses as to why there had been this rather unusual increase in reported gastroenteritis outbreaks on cruise ships in 2012. The cruise ship owners contacted the Centers of Disease control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct an in-depth analysis of the possible modes of transmission of the Norwalk virus in the cruise ship environment. CDC investigators interviewed all of the passengers on the last affected cruise (N=3,000) and obtained information on the passenger’s recreational activities. They found the following results: 1,000 passengers had gone swimming in the upper deck pool and 2,000 passengers had never gone swimming in the upper deck pool. 100 of the passengers who swam in the upper deck pool and 100 of the passengers who did not swim in this pool developed Norwalk virus gastroenteritis during the cruise. FYI: The cruise lasted one week.

  • Set up the 2×2 table for these data.
  • Calculate the risk ratio of gastroenteritis associated with swimming in the upper deck pool.
  • State in words your interpretation of the above risk ratio
  • Calculate the risk difference in the above example
  • State in words your interpretation of the above risk difference

Individual or component costs of capital) Compute the cost of capital for the firm for the following:

  1. A bond that has a $1,000 par value (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 10.8 percent. Interest payments are $54.00 and are paid semiannually. The bonds have a current market value of $1,130 and will mature in 15 years. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 34 percent.
  2. A new common stock issue that paid a $1.77 dividend last year. The firm’s dividends are expected to continue to grow at 8.4 percent per year, forever. The price of the firm’s common stock is now $27.61.
  3. A preferred stock that sells for $141, pays a dividend of 8.5 percent, and has a $100 par value.
  4. A bond selling to yield 10.4 percent where the firm’s tax rate is 34 percent.

However, this may not affect the general public. Unhealthy AQI, 150 t0 200 (red), has an association with health effects upon the general public. Here, sensitive group members suffer more severe effects than others. Very unhealthy AQI, 201 to 300 (purple) comes with emergency conditions health warnings. This seems to affect the entire population. Maroon color (hazardous AQI- 301 TO 500) means health alert that can come with health effects upon all people.

The current AQI, Friday November 01 2013 at 5:00 AM EST is good but with some moderate AQIs in some states. There are also negligible spots of “Unhealthy for sensitive groups” AQI (AirNow 1). We also have unhealthy AQI as a spot around Spokane. The forecast AQI is good with some spots of moderate AQI.

The factors that could be responsible for the differences between the current National AQI and the forecast AQI could be particulate matter content of the air and the prevailing winds. The AQI loop shows a general green, good AQI with the extreme western part showing moderate AQI. The colors keep changing from time to time, but the general good, green AQI is maintained. The loop for ozone is green showing that the lower atmosphere is free of harmful ozone. PM loop although covered by green, good AQI, keeps changing in some parts. The observed difference is because ozone disruption or changes take a long time to be noticed.

The AQI for Philadelphia is good with a value of 33 (AirNow 1). Current conditions are moderate with the health message to unusually sensitive people to avoid prolonged exertion. The map for ozone shows a general good condition with stability. The current PM for Philadelphia is good, but with moderate conditions to the western and southern parts.

The process of carbon capture and sequestration takes place through three steps. These include capture of carbon dioxide from industrial processes and power plants (EPA 1). The captured carbon dioxide is then
