The advertising for a new genetic screening of fetuses, through sampling the mother's blood, claims that it is "99.9% accurate." There are about 4 million pregnancies a year. If all of them were screened by this test, and assuming the statement is precisely true, about how many women would receive inaccurate results?

The number of viruses (V , measured in trillions or 10¹²) that infect a person is a function of the degree of immunosuppression (I, the fraction of the immune system that is turned off by stress) according to V(I) = 5I². The fever (F, measured in ◦C) associated with an infection is a function of the number of viruses according to F(V) = 37 + 0.4V. Find fever as a function of immunosuppression. How high will the fever be if immunosuppression is complete (I = 1)?
