Question

After attending a church cookout, a number of the attendees are admitted to the emergency room with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. After discovering all the individuals admitted to the ER consumed the egg salad at the event, the leftover egg salad was tested and found to be positive for salmonella. If 83 individuals consumed the egg salad and 49 individuals were admitted to the ER with salmonella, what was the cumulative incidence of salmonella assuming that the 49 individuals admitted to the ER were the only ones to be affected by the bacteria?

Early in 2010, Consumer Reports published the results of an extensive investigation of broiler chickens purchased from food stores in 23 states. Tests for bacteria in the meat showed that 62% of the chickens were contaminated with campylobacter, 14% with salmonella, and 9% with both. a) What’s the probability that a tested chicken was not contaminated with either kind of bacteria? b) Are contamination with the two kinds of bacteria disjoint? Explain. c) Are contamination with the two kinds of bacteria independent? Explain.
