All the probabilities are given for the three different scenarios in men and women: people who smoke, people who develop lung cancer, and people who develop lung cancer who are also smokers. Then, these are even classified in terms of gender.

But the final question only has to do with men who are smokers that develop lung cancer. So, I think all the other data are only there for the purpose of red herring. The answer is already there, but you just have to find it among the others. First, you ignore all the probabilities involving women because we only want the men. Then, you find the probability of men that have lung cancer being smokers. The answer is 90%.

What is the value of b<br> 2b + 8 − 5b + 3 = −13 + 8b − 5
Yuri [45]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2b + 8 − 5b + 3 = −13 + 8b − 5

Reorder like terms.

2b-5b+8+3=8b-13-5

Combine those like terms. Then solve.

-3b+11=8b-18

      -11       -11

-3b=8b-29

-8b -8b

-11b=-29

/-11    /-11

b=2.64

Find cscθ.<br><br>pls answer
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The answer to your question is csc Ф = \frac{-5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Determine the sign

We must determine csc Ф in the forth quadrangle, here csc is negative.

2.- Determine the hypotenuse

     c² = a² + b²

     c² = 3² + (-4)²

     c² = 9 + 16

     c² = 25

     c = 5

3.- Determine csc Ф

    csc Ф = \frac{hypotenuse}{opposite side}

    csc Ф = \frac{5}{-4}  = \frac{-5}{4}
