Olfactory sensations usually fade rapidly as a result of?

Cigarette smoking. Also prolonged exposure.


How do the highest and lowest possible values for the variable compare in their probability of occurring to the values in the middle of the distribution?

The answer will depend on the skewness of the distribution.The Poisson distribution is defined for non-negative integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. So the lowest value is 0.For a Poisson distribution with parameter l=1 (when it is very skew), the probability of the lowest two values, 0 and 1, is 0.368 each and the probability tails off rapidly for higher values.The answer will depend on the skewness of the distribution.The Poisson distribution is defined for non-negative integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. So the lowest value is 0.For a Poisson distribution with parameter l=1 (when it is very skew), the probability of the lowest two values, 0 and 1, is 0.368 each and the probability tails off rapidly for higher values.The answer will depend on the skewness of the distribution.The Poisson distribution is defined for non-negative integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. So the lowest value is 0.For a Poisson distribution with parameter l=1 (when it is very skew), the probability of the lowest two values, 0 and 1, is 0.368 each and the probability tails off rapidly for higher values.The answer will depend on the skewness of the distribution.The Poisson distribution is defined for non-negative integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. So the lowest value is 0.For a Poisson distribution with parameter l=1 (when it is very skew), the probability of the lowest two values, 0 and 1, is 0.368 each and the probability tails off rapidly for higher values.


Is it possible for a function that has a horizontal asymptote to attain the value of an asymptote?

Yes. Think of a function that starts at the origin, increases rapidly at first and then decays gradually to an asymptotic value of 0. It will have attained its asymptotic value at the start. For example, the Fisher F distribution, which is often used, in statistics, to test the significance of regression coefficients. Follow the link for more on the F distribution.

Difference disease outbreak and epidemic disease?

Out break is the sudden increase in number of diseas cases. An epidemic is sustainable increase in number of disease cases spreading rapidly and extensively by affecting many individuals in an area or population at the same time.
