The U.S. is trying to decide the most efficient way to attack the Ebola crisis in Africa.Once exposed to Ebola, the average time for a person to display symptoms is 14 dayswith a standard deviation of 6 days. Since quarantine is a difficult and expensive processthey decide that if they catch 85% of the cases they will be happy.

The length of stay in the hospital for Ebola patients varies. Ten percent are in for 12  days. Twenty percent are in for 14 days. Twenty five percent and in for 20 days and the rest for 16 days.  If a hospital admits a patient with Ebola, what length of stay should it expect?

Given the shortage of hospital beds, some countries are considering paying families to care for patients. They have a grant of $2 million dollars to try the idea.  If patient care costs $300 a day how many patients do you predict the grant will cover?
