One manufacturer boxes screws so that each box weighs the same no matter what size the screws are. The graph shows the amount of

allowed weight remaining in a given shipment depending on the number of boxes of screws already included.
What does the y-intercept represent in this situation?
the maximum weight allowed in a shipment
the minimum weight of a single box of screws
the minimum number of screws in a single box
the maximum number of single boxes for a shipment

Because x is the number of boxes in the shipment, we conclude that the correct option is "the maximum weight allowed in a shipment"

<h3>What does the y-intercept mean in this case?</h3>

Remember that for a function f(x), the y-intercept is given by f(0).

In this case, the graph represents the amount of allowed weight remaining in a shipment depending on the number of boxes of screws included.

Then the variable x represents "the number of boxes of screws in the shipment".

So when x = 0, there are no boxes.

Then the y-intercepts represents the remaining weight when there are no boxes of screws, which would be all the allowed weight on the shipment.

The correct option is:

"the maximum weight allowed in a shipment"

According to the American Lung Association, 7% of the population has lung disease. Of those having lung disease, 90% are smokers
postnew [5]

Answer:

Probability that a smoker has lung disease = 0.2132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = event that % of population having lung disease, P(L) = 0.07

So,% of population not having lung disease, P(L') = 1 - P(L) = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93

S = event that person is smoker

% of population that are smokers given they are having lung disease, P(S/L) = 0.90

% of population that are smokers given they are not having lung disease, P(S/L') = 0.25

We know that, conditional probability formula is given by;

                        P(S/L) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(L)}  

                        P(S\bigcap L) = P(S/L) * P(L)

                                      = 0.90 * 0.07 = 0.063

So,  P(S\bigcap L) = 0.063 .

Now, probability that a smoker has lung disease is given by = P(L/S)

      P(L/S) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(S)}

P(S) = P(S/L) * P(L) + P(S/L') * P(L')

       = 0.90 * 0.07 + 0.25 * 0.93 = 0.2955

Therefore, P(L/S) = \frac{0.063}{0.2955} = 0.2132

Hence, probability that a smoker has lung disease is 0.2132 .
