Question

Which of the following factors were not explored in this lesson’s lab experiment?

Check all that apply.

the number of people in a population

the initial health of the individuals

the method of transmission

the low chances of a disease being passed on contact

the effect interacting with the same individuals over and over again

the immunity rate
Sometimes viruses mutate, and a person who was immune (either through natural immunity or through vaccination) loses immunity.

At the beginning of Trial C, 50% of the population had immunity. Suppose that all of them lost their immunity halfway through the experiment. As a result, the data for Trial C would have started out the same but shown
in disease spread during the second half of the simulation.

Answer 1

Which were NOT explored (check all that apply):

- the number of people in a population
- the initial health of the individuals
- the low chances of a disease being passed on contact
- the effect interacting with the same individuals over and over again

(Trial C shows the lesson did explore method of transmission and immunity rate.)

Fill-in sentence:
"As a result, the data for Trial C would have started out the same but shown a large increase in disease spread during the second half of the simulation."

Brief explanation: if the 50% who were immune lost immunity halfway through, the susceptible pool would grow and infections would rise.
