Consider a class with 100 enrolled students. none of the students were ill at the beginning of the school year. on september 30, 5 students reported having gastroenteritis. all continued to be ill on october 1, but all 5 recovered within 3 days. on october 14, 3 more (different) students developed gastroenteritis. all of these students continued to be ill on october 15, but all 3 recovered 3 days later. assume a student can't get gastroenteritis more than once.
