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.

I really need help with my homework. <br><br> factorise 10x+25
alina1380 [7]
5(2x + 5), because 10x and 25 only have 5 in common, which is why it's outside the bracket, and 5 × 2x is 10x, and 5 × 5 is 25. Hope this helps!
