If 25% of the people <em>are</em> vaccinated, then 75% of the people are <em>not</em> vaccinated.  Of those not vaccinated, each has a 50% chance of contracting the disease.  The probability that someone is both not vaccinated and contracts the disease is (0.75)(0.5)=0.375.
The probability that someone is vaccinated and contracts the disease is (0.25)(0.1)=0.025 (it is multiplied by 0.1 because if the vaccine is 90% effective, then there is a 10% chance someone that is vaccinated can contract the disease.
Add these together for the total:  0.375+0.025=0.4
There is a 40% chance that someone chosen at random will contract the disease.

What is not a description of slope?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Option (d) is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is:

  • rise over run
  • The rate of change of a line
  • Change in y over the change in x
  • <em><u>The ratio of vertical change  to the horizontal change. </u></em>

It can be given by mathematically as follows :

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{and}\\\\m=\dfrac{dy}{dx}

Hence, the option which is not a description of slope is (d) "the ratio of horizontal change compared to vertical change"

What is 420/1000 in simplest form
balandron [24]
The answer would be 21/50. If you have numbers with a few zeros you can cross one of the top amd bottom until you reach the other numbers, if that makes sense. You can changd 420/1000 to 42/100. Then just keep dividing it by a numner that goes evenly into both the numerator and denominator.

In triangle ABC above, AD is perpendicular to CB. If the lengths of AD and CB were both increased by 50%, how would the area of
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle.

The area of a triangle is given as:

A = (1/2) * b * h

where b = base of triangle, h = height of triangle , A = area

Let BC = base = x, and AD = height = y, hence:

A = (1/2) * x * y = 0.5xy

If the lengths of AD and CB were both increased by 50%, hence:

new AD = y + 0.5y = 1.5y, new CB = x + 0.5x = 1.5x

The new area= (1/2) * 1.5y * 1.5x = 1.125xy

Increased area / area = 1.125xy / 0.5xy = 2.25

If the lengths are increased by 50%, the area would also increase and the new area would be 2.25 times
