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 .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Convert kilometer to miles:</h3>

1 km = 0.62 mi

So, to convert 6 km to mi, multiply 6 by 0.62.

6km = 6* 0.62

        = 3.72 mi

<h3>Convert liter to gallon:</h3>

1 L = 0.26 gal

To convert 2.5 L to gallon, multiply 2.5 by 0.26.

2.5 L = 2.5 * 0.26

         = 0.65 gal

<h3>Convert pound to kilogram:</h3>

1 lb = 0.45 Kg

To convert 90 lb to Kg, multiply 90 by 0.45.

90 lb = 90 *0.45

        = 40.5 Kg

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

B. 94

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle B = 180 - 143 = 37°.

Angle B + Angle C + Angle D = 180°

37° + 49° + Angle D = 180°

Angle D = 180° - 86° = 94°

vodomira [7]

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line passing through the points A (-1,3k) and B (k , 3) is parallel to the line whose equation is 2y+3x=9, then their slopes are equal

For coordinate AB;

slope m1 = 3 - 3k/k-(-1)

m1 = 3-3k/k+1

For the line 2y+3x = 9

2y = -3x + 9

y = -3/2 x + 9/2

Slope m2 = -3/2

Since m1 = m2

3-3k/k+1 = -3/2

Cross multiply

2(3-3k) = -3(k+1)

Expand

6 - 6k = -3k - 3

-6k+3k = -3 - 6

-3k = -9

k = -9/-3

k = 3

Hence the value of k is 3
