What do scientist mean by flattening the curve and why is it important?

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Inhibiting new infections to reduce the number of cases at any given time—known as "flattening the curve"—allows healthcare services to better manage the same volume of patients.

I believe it means to slow down the virus spreading to other people and to stay safe, avoid contact, and wash your hands to stop too many people from going into the hospital.

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage - 25%

probability - 0.25

we know,

total amount of students in class = 20

total boys = 10

total girls = 10

no of girls who wear glasses = 10/2 = 5

probability of choosing a girl with glasses is =

number of girls wearing glasses/total number of students in the class = 5/20

thus, percentage of selecting a girl wearing glasses will be

= 5/20 × 100

= 5 × 5

25%

therefore,

probability will be 0.25
