The effects of an antidepressant drug varies from person to person. Suppose that the drug is effective on 89% of women and 65% o

f men. It is known that 66% of the people who take the drug are women. What is the probability?

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

UNO [17]

Answer:

Inequality: x+10\leq 12

Inequality solved: x\leq 2

The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the meaning of the inequalities symbols:

: Less than.

> : Greater than.

\leq : Less than or equal to.

\geq : Greater than or equal to.

Let be "x" the number of more songs Carlotta can download.

According to the information given in the exercise, she can download no more than 12 song files per week. This indicates that you must use the symbol \leq.

Since she has already downloaded 10 song files this week, you can write the following inequality that represents this situation:

x+10\leq 12

In order to solve it, you must subtract 10 from both sides:

x+10-10\leq 12-10\\\\x\leq 2

Plot this result on a number line.

Since the symbol of the inequality is \leq, the dot must be filled (Observe the number line attached).

A chef planning for a large banquet thinks that 2 out of every 5 dinner guest will order his soup appetizer he expects 800 guest
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

320 cups of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5= x/800

2/5 =.04  

800*.04 =320       x=320

2/5 = 320/800

2/5 =0.4  is equivalent to 320/800=0.4

Answer:

\dfrac{4000\pi}{3} ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's figure out how to get the <em>volume </em>of a sphere from its <em>surface area</em>. If r is the radius of our sphere, then

The formula for a sphere's surface area is A = 4\pi r^2

The formula for a sphere's volume is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

So to get from area to volume, we have to <em>divide the area by 3 </em>and then <em>multiply it by r.</em> Mathematically:

V=\frac{A}{3}r

Before we solve for V though, we need to find the radius of our sphere. Thankfully, we're given the surface area - 400\pi ft² - so we can use the area formula to find that radius:

A=4\pi r^2=400\pi\\r^2=100\\r=10

And now that we have our radius, we can put it into our volume formula to find

V=\frac{A}{3} r=\frac{400\pi}{3}(10)=\frac{4000\pi}{3} ft³
