For a study on a new cold medicine, a group of 100 participants with cold symptoms was studied for one month in the spring. One-

fifth of the participants were given the cold medicine, and the rest of the participants were given a placebo, a pill that has no active ingredients. Of the participants that were given the medicine, 70% felt improvement of their symptoms. Of the participants that were given the placebo, 80% felt improvement of their symptoms. What is the probability of randomly choosing a participant who took the placebo, given they did not feel improvement?

One fifth of the participants is 1/5*100=100/5=20 is the number of the participants given medicine. So the number of participants given placebo is 100-20=80.

80% of the 80 who took placebo felt improvements, so 20% of 80, which is
(20/100)*80=(2/10)*80=160/10=16 is the number of participants who took placebo and felt no improvement.

P(choosing participant who took placebo and felt no improvement)=

n(participant who took placebo and felt no improvement)/n(participants)
=16/100=0.16

Solve the linear equation: 3.4 + 2(9.7 – 4.8x) = 61.2 What are the possible steps involved in solving this equation? Check all t
Leno4ka [110]
The answers for the exercise shown above are the second option, the third option, the fifth option and the sixth option, which are:
 2) <span>Distribute 2 to 9.7 and −4.8x.
 3) Combine 3.4 and 19.4.
 5) Substract 22.8 from both sides.
 6) Divide both sides by −9.6
 The steps are shown below:
 </span><span>3.4+2(9.7-4.8x)=61.2</span> 
 3.4+19.4-9.6x=61.2
 22.8-9.6x=61.2
 228-22.8-9.6x=61.2-22.8
 -9.6x=38.4
 -9.6x/-9.6=38.4/-9.6
 x=-4

What is the y-intercept of 2g(x)+3x=6?
umka21 [38]

The y-intercept is basically the value of the output of the function, g(x), when x=0.

Let's replace g(x) with the variable y to make this look a bit simpler.

2y + 3x = 6

Now, we enter the value of x=0 to get the y-intercept.

2y + 0 = 6

2y = 6

Divide both sides by 2

y = 3

The value of y is 3. Now enter the values of x=0 and y=3 into point-form (x,y) to get (0,3). You should know which answer choice to choose now.

Have an awesome day!
