- Epidemic Model In a population of 200,000 people, 40,000 are infected with a virus. After a person becomes infected and then recovers, the person is immune cannot become infected again. Of the people who are infected, 5 will die each year and the other will recover. Of the people who have never been infected, 25 will become infected each year. How many people will be infected in 4 years?arrow_forwardChemistry In a chemistry experiment, a test tube contains 10,000 molecules of a compound. Initially, 20 of the molecules are in a gas state, 60 are in a liquid state, and 20 are in solid state. After introducing a catalyst, 40 of gas molecules change to liquid, 30 of the liquid molecules changes to solid, and 50 of the solid molecules change to liquid. How many molecules are in each state after introducing the catalyst?arrow_forwardA company sells $160,000 worth of printing paper during its first year.
