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 7•8+1•40. Explain your answer
zaharov [31]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the order of operations to solve the equation

7×8+1×40

multiplication before addition, so we do this first:

7×8=56

We change the equation to this:

56+1×40

Then we multiply:

1×40=40

We change the equation to this:

56+40

Then we add to solve:

56+40=96

Answer:

The correct option is D ....

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle is ending at the point = (-3, -4)

Signs of both x and y are negative therefore it is in the third quadrant.

To find the the tangent of an angle we have to find  the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.

In this question the opposite side of the angle is of 4 units and the adjacent side of the angle is 3 units.

tanθ = y/x

tanθ = -4/-3

tanθ = 4/3

Thus the correct option is D ....
