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.

Assume you have noted the following prices for books and the number of pages that each book contains. Book Pages (x) Price (y) A
belka [17]

Answer:

a) y=0.00991 x +1.042  

b) r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563

c) r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

x: 500, 700, 750, 590 , 540, 650, 480

y: 7.00, 7.50 , 9.00, 6.5, 7.50 , 7.0, 4.50

Part a

We want to create a linear model like this :

y = mx +b

Wehre

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

And:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

With these we can find the sums:  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=2595100-\frac{4210^2}{7}=63085.714  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=30095-\frac{4210*49}{7}=625  

And the slope would be:  

m=\frac{625}{63085.714}=0.00991  

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{4210}{7}=601.429  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{49}{7}=7  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=7-(0.00991*601.429)=1.042  

And the line would be:

y=0.00991 x +1.042  

Part b

The correlation coefficient is given by:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=7 \sum x = 4210, \sum y = 49, \sum xy = 30095, \sum x^2 =2595100, \sum y^2 =354  

r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503  

The determination coefficient is given by:

r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563

Part c

r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503

Which of the following steps could be used to solve the equation 93 = x + 58? A. Add 58 to both sides. B. Subtract 58 from both
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Subtract 58 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

93 = x + 58

Subtract 58 from both sides

93- 58 = x+58-58

35 = x
