Participation 3 Name:________________________________ I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this assignment: (sign)________________________________________________ Include all of your work for each problem. 1. Below is a graphic from Our World in Data that has been keeping track of recorded COVID cases using data from the World Health Organization (WHO). This specific graphic is the number of daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases over the course of one year in the United States. Beside it is a data table with the number of cases recorded on the first of each month as a rolling seven day average. Use these charts to complete the following: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases 1. Approximate the total number of cases from June ’21 to December ‘21 using three (3) subintervals and using midpoints: 2. Three students are trying to calculate a RIGHT sum for December ’21 to April ‘22 with four (4) subintervals. Which student’s sum set up is correct? Why? What is wrong with the other students? Student A: ࠵? = 2 ∗ [250.16 + 598.57 + 1600.18 + 193.53] Student B: ࠵? = 4 ∗ [598.57 + 1600.18 + 193.53 + 81.70] Student C: ࠵? = 1 ∗ [598.57 + 1600.18 + 193.53 + 81.70] Date (2021-2022) Number of cases (per million people) May ‘21 171.49 June ‘21 62.42 July ‘21 37.01 August ‘21 231.03 September ‘21 462.36 October ‘21 359.92 November’21 222.20 December ‘21 250.16 January ‘22 598.57 February ‘22 1600.18 March ‘22 193.53 April ‘22 81.70 Alyssa Shifflett E 6 it 3 6 12 1 2 month I III 12.2.20 1383 14 12 16 n 4 at 16T I month student C is correct student A is wrong because they calculated Δ t wrong and did left sum Student B is wrong because they calculated at wrong M Alyssa that

Use the following graphic below to help you answer the following question: The graphic above shows the trends over 45 years of the cases of rectal cancer.

Why? *You are not being asked to calculate this sum, just explain which sum you would use or think is better for this purpose* Alyssa Shifflett It would be better to use right sum because you are getting an overestimate and want more people to get checked With a left sum there would be data left out underestimating and showing less people with cancer M Alyssa Stifft
