PART 1

According to a research, it is estimated that every time a spawn of a female Aedes mosquitoe can produce up to
200 eggs. It can spawn until 3 to 5 times with an estimate of 1000 eggs in a lifetime. A female Aedes mosquitoe
can live with a average of 100 days. Aedes mosquitoe eggs can hatch two or seven days depending on weather
conditions and surrounding temperature. From the result of the research, you are required to identify information
regarding the estimated number of Aedes mosquitoes population based on data given in Table 1. In this analysis,
1o Aedes mosquitoes were used as early samples in the first observation. 10 of these mosquitoes are left from
10 days to produce the population of Aedes mosquitoes for the second observation. The further observations are
carried out every 10 days interval until the sixth observation as shown in Table 1.

Table 1

(a) Based on Table 1, found that the population of the Aedes mosquitoes increase several times compared
to previous observations of the Aedes mosquitoes population. Configure an appropriate equation to
associate the increases of the Aedes mosquitoe population.

(b) Based on the results of the research above, the number of the dead Aedes mosquitoes population is too
small. Thus, the equation that relates the increase of the Aedes mosquitoes population in question (a) is
still relevant for the number of Aedes mosquitoes population until the nth observation
(i) Configure an appropriate linear equation for the Aedes mosquitoes population.
(ii) Construct a suitable table and draw a linear graph that links equation (b)(i) for the range 1 ≤ n ≤ 6.

(c) Using the graph you have drawn in question (b)(ii), estimate
(i) the number of population of Aedes mosqutoes produced within 15 days
(ii) the minimum number of days needed so that the number of the Aedes mosquitoes population
reaches one million.
PART 2
Aedes mosquitoes is said to be a dengue fever virus carrier. Dengue fever is a type of a disease that can spread
through the bite of Aedes mosquitoes that have been infected by this virus. The bite of an Aedes mosquito will
spread dengue virus to healthy people.

If identified 0.15% of the Aedes mosquito population is the carrier of dengue fever disease, estimate the number
of Aedes mosquitoes population expected to be a dengue fever carrier within 30 days of observation.

Then five mosquitoes were randomly selected from the study to be sampled. From the sample, determine the
probability that

(i) there is no mosquito carrier for dengue virus,


(ii) the five mosquitoes are carriers of dengue virus.
