Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.36 Bacteria, Viruses, Vaccines, and Public Health skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A graph shows vaccine effectiveness estimates for three age groups with confidence intervals: ages 10-19 = 82% (74-88), ages 20-49 = 78% (68-85), ages 70+ = 52% (20-70). Which interpretation is best?

AThe 70+ vaccine estimate is exactly zero because its interval is wider.

BAll age groups have identical effectiveness because the intervals are not single points.

CConfidence intervals show how many viruses are killed by antibiotics.

DEffectiveness is estimated in all groups, but the 70+ estimate is less precise and lower than the younger-group estimates in this dataset.

Solution & Explanation:Confidence intervals describe uncertainty around estimates. The 70+ group has a lower point estimate and wider interval, suggesting less precision and possibly different protection in this dataset.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A preprint claims a new herbal spray prevents a viral infection, but the study has no control group, no randomization, and infection outcomes were self-reported. Which evaluation is most appropriate?

AThe claim is proven because all preprints are final public health guidelines.

BThe spray must be an antibiotic because it mentions infection.

CThe claim is weak because the design lacks key controls needed to support causation.

DSelf-reported outcomes are always more reliable than laboratory-confirmed outcomes.

Solution & Explanation:Scientific information literacy requires evaluating study design. Without controls, randomization, and reliable outcomes, the evidence is not strong enough for a causal prevention claim.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

An SEIR simulation estimates Rt values under four plans: no change = 1.8, masking only = 1.2, vaccination only = 1.1, masking plus vaccination = 0.7. Which plan is predicted to shrink the outbreak fastest under the model?

ANo change, because 1.8 is the largest number.

BMasking plus vaccination, because Rt is below 1 and is the lowest value listed.

CMasking only, because any value above 1 shrinks an outbreak fastest.

DVaccination only, because 1.1 means zero transmission.

Solution & Explanation:Rt below 1 means each infection causes less than one new infection on average, so the outbreak tends to shrink. The lowest Rt among the options is 0.7.
