Answer:

The probability that the drug is effective is 0.8084

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the following events be:

E: the drug is effective

W: the person is a woman

M: the person is a man

We know that the drug is effective on 89% of women and 65% of men, so it can be expressed as:

P(E|W): Probability that the drug is effective since the person is a woman

P(E|W)= 0.89

P(E|M): Probability that the drug is effective since the person is a man

P(E|M)= 0.65

We also know that 66% of the people who take the drug are women.

P(W)= 0.66

Then

P(M)= 1 - P(W)= 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

With all this information we can build the probability tree (attached picture) and apply the Hayes theorem:

P(E) = P(W) × P(E|W) + P(M) × P(E|M)

P(E) = 0.66 × 0.89 + 0.34 × 0.65= 0.8084

Answer:

  A

Step-by-step explanation:

Collecting terms of the expression, we have ...

  x + 0.1x = x(1 +0.1) = 1.1x

In words, adding 10% is the same as multiplying the value by 1.1. Choice A is appropriate.

3. A jet traveled at an average speed of 681 kilometers an hour. At that rate, how far did the jet go in 7 1/4 hours?​

Evaluate 4|-2| - |-3|
Nitella [24]

As we know these two lines mean | | a modulus sign. The modulus symbol is sometimes used in conjunction with inequalities. A modulus sign in simple words just ignores the sign and gives us the absolute value.

For example in this case the modulus gives us 4 x 2 - 3. As you can see the modulus sign has ignored the original negative signs with the numbers.

So after evaluating the equation the answer comes out to be 8 - 3 which is equal to 5.
