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.

That would be 30 minutes since 2 1/2 hours equals 150 minutes, a fifth of 150 is 30.

Calle had five times as many stickers as sara did and twice as many as juniper. Juniper had 25 stickers. How many stickers did t
n200080 [17]

Calle: has twice as many as Juniper so = 2*25 = 50

she also has 5 times as many as sara so if she has 50, you divide 50/5 = 10

Calle has 50 stickers, Sara has 10 and Juniper has 25.

So all together they have 85 stickers.
