(a)

To determine

To calculate: The quadratic equation that can be used to estimate the prevalence of MS $p\left(t\right)$ at $t$ degrees latitude north with the help of the table provided below,

$\text{Latitude}\left(\text{°N}\right)$	$\text{Multiple Sclerosis Prevalence}$ $\left(\text{in cases per 100,000 population}\right)$
$27$	$50$
$$ $34$	$55$
$37$	$75$
$40$	$100$
$42$	$115$
$44$	$140$
$48$	$200$

(b)

To determine

To calculate: To predict the prevalence of MS at $46°N$.
