Figure 1. Mean scores on EMQ comparing SARS-CoV-2 infected vs. uninfected individuals; higher scores indicate worse memory problems. 1. What does this graph suggest about infection with SARS-CoV-2? Please explain. Include information and descriptions from the graph to support your explanation. 2. Comparing the trendlines on the left side of the graph to the right side of the graph, what does the trend toward the right side of the graph suggest? Please hypothesize; be sure to include an explanation with supporting information. 3. Comment briefly on the sample size of this study - should this sample size give us confidence in this work? Why or why not? 4. Although the graph does not explain this, propose an explanation as to what the virus might be doing to people that could result in this outcome observed.
Optiоnаl 2 pоints оf extrа credit: This is а "choose your own question" question! Please think about any single topic from these chapters that you wish: this can be something you studied for that wasn't on this test, or something you found especially interesting, or anything else you want from this content. Name the topic and explain it fully here. Write at least a full paragraph (minimum 4-5 sentences; no bullet points), although you may go longer. This is your chance to demonstrate good knowledge of a single topic from these chapters. Please do not just list names of multiple topics, or just tell me you found [name of topic] to be really interesting. You may tell me [name of topic] was really interesting, but you must demonstrate to me that you learned about and understand the topic by explaining to me how it works! Relax, and please don't stress - this is your chance to choose your own topic/question and show me you learned something from this course by telling me about it - i.e., this is meant to be a very gentle last question on this test! 🙂
