Two antibiotics are available as treatment for a common ear infection in children. • Antibiotic A is known to effectively cure t

he infection 60 percent of the time. • Antibiotic B is known to effectively cure the infection 90 percent of the time. The antibiotics work independently of one another. Both antibiotics can be safely administered to children. A health insurance company intends to recommend one of the following two plans of treatment for children with this ear infection. • Plan I: Treat with antibiotic A first. If it is not effective, then treat with antibiotic B. • Plan II: Treat with antibiotic B first. If it is not effective, then treat with antibiotic A. (a) If a doctor treats a child with an ear infection using plan I, what is the probability that the child will be cured? (b) If a doctor treats a child with an ear infection using plan II, what is the probability that the child will be cured?

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of A working is 60% or 0.6, so the probability it does not work is 40% or 0.4.

the probability of B working is 90% or 0.9, so the probability it does not work is 10% or 0.1.

plan 1

it is the probabilty that either A works, or (if it is not working) B works.

0.6 + 0.4×0.9 = 0.6 + 0.36 = 0.96

plan 2

either B works, or (if it is not working) A works

0.9 + 0.1×0.6 = 0.9 + 0.06 = 0.96

both plans have the same success probability.

Parallel lines in space are coplanar.
kakasveta [241]
Coplanar lines are line witch lie on the same lie on the same plane. two parallel lines or two intersecting lines always lie in a plane. Thus, two line are coplanar, if and only if they are either parallel or intersecting. lines in three dimensional space are coplanar, only if they are not skewed lines.

The time to failure (in hours) of fans in a personal computer can be modeled by an exponential distribution with l=0.0003
Dvinal [7]

Answer: 0.0497870 ; 0.87754

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

λ = 0.0003

Defining a continuous distribution function :

F(x) = 1 - e^-λx = 1 - e^-0.0003x ; x ≥ 0

a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?

P(x ≥ 10000) = e^-0.0003(10000) = 0.0497870

b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

P(x ≥ 7000) = 1 - p(x ≤ 7000) = 1 - e^-0.0003(7000)

1 - 0.12245642825 = 0.87754
