Suppose that you began a one-year study of tuberculosis (TB) in St. Petersburg on January 1st, 2018. You enrolled 200 residents in your study and checked on their TB status on a monthly basis. At the start of your study on January 1st, you screened all 200 residents. Upon screening, you found that 10 of the healthy residents were immigrants who were vaccinated for TB and so were not at risk. Another 10 residents already had existing cases of TB on January 1st. On February 1st, two residents developed TB. On April 1st, three more residents developed TB. On July 1st, three of the residents who had existing TB on January 1st died from their disease. The study ended on December 31, 2018. Assume that once a person gets TB, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up. 1. What was the prevalence of TB in the screen community on April 1st?
2. What was the cumulative incidence of TB over the year? Calculate and interpret this finding.
3. What was the case-fatality rate among residents with TB over the course of the year?
4. Calculate and interpret.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
