- 3. In this problem you will create, and then consider, a model for the effect of influenza and pneumonia on the population of large US cities over a two-year-period. (a) The figure below is taken from [5]. Sketch on the figure, or on some axes drawn on your own page, a smooth curve that describes the “average behaviour” of the two curves shown in the figure. (b) Based on your sketch in part (a), or otherwise, make a model of the death rate due to influenza and pneumonia in large cities in the USA for the two-year-period beginning 3 August 1934. Your model should be in the form of a function. In making your model, you may have to make assumptions and/or choices. Briefly justify each assumption and choice.arrow_forward1) Analyse the following experimental set-up (illustrated in Figure 1) a) A wild-type (WT) bacterial strain is sensitive to the antibiotic X (Ant X) (Figure 1A) b) You have grown the WT strains in 3 independent liquid cultures (C1, C2 and C3) for 24 hours (Figure 1B-Passage 1) c) Following this initial growth, C1, C2 and C3 cultures are subcultured in 9 independent cultures and grown for 24 hours (Figure 1C Passage 2). Subsequently, cultures are plated on Non-Selective (N/S) solid media and media with Ant X (+ Ant X).
