Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal diseas

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}$

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Periodontal disease

Event B: Heart attack

Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal disease, an inflammation of the gums.

This means that $P(A|B) = 0.82$

Only 33% of healthy people have this disease.

This means that $P(A) = 0.33$

Suppose that in a certain community heart attacks are quite rare, occurring with only 15% probability.

This means that $P(B) = 0.15$

If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack

$P(B|A) = \frac{0.15*0.82}{0.33} = 0.3727$

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Alecia walked 3/10 of a mile from school,stopped at the grocery store on the way, then walked another 4/10 of a mile home.Georgi

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Alecia lives farther from school

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Georgia</em>

we know that

The distance from the school to her home is 67/100 of a mile

$\frac{67}{100}=0.67\ miles$

<em>Alecia</em>

we know that

The distance from the school to her home is

3/10 of a mile plus 4/10 of a mile

$\frac{3}{10}+\frac{4}{10}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7\ miles$

Compare the distances

$0.7\ miles>0.67\ miles$

therefore

Alecia lives farther from school
