Answer:the probability that a pensioner catches a flu is 0.3 or $\frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

a) Pensioners who have had a flu jab = $\frac{3}{5}$

b) Pensioners who did not had a flu jab = 1 - $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

For the first pair of arrows: a is the probability of the upper arrow and b is the probability of the lower arrow.

If pensioner have had a flu jab, the probability of catching flu is $\frac{1}{30}$

Data:

c) Catching flu = $\frac{1}{30}$

d) Not catching flu = 1 - $\frac{1}{30}$ = $\frac{29}{30}$

The second pair of arrows on the top: Top arrow is c and bottom arrow is d

If pensioner did not have a flu jab, the probability of catching flu is $\frac{7}{10}$

Data:

e) Catching flu = $\frac{7}{10}$

f) Not catching flu = 1 - $\frac{7}{10}$ = $\frac{3}{10}$

The second pair of arrows on the bottom: Top arrow is e and bottom arrow is f.

Q) Probability pensioner catches a flu

P(catches the flu given that he had the flu jab) + P(catches the flu given that he did not have the flu jab)

( $\frac{3}{5}$ x $\frac{1}{30}$ ) + ( $\frac{2}{5}$ x $\frac{7}{10}$ )

= 0.02 + 0.28

= 0.3

Therefore, the probability that a pensioner catches a flu is 0.3 or $\frac{3}{10}$

the length of a rectangle is 4 cm less than 5 times its width its perimeter is 160 cm find its length and width

tatyana61 [14]

Let x= width
Length= 5x-4
2(x)+2(5x-4)=160
2x+10x-8=160
12x-8=160
+8. +8
12x=168
x=14
width=14
length= 5(14)-4=66

Find the average rate of change, in people per year, for the population between the years 1900 and 1920.

elena-s [515]

Step-by-step explanation:

the average change rate of a function f(x) in an interval [x1 .. x2] is

(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)

in our case that is

(7000 - 2500) / (20 - 0) = 4500 / 20 = 225

the population changed in average by 225 people per year from 1900 to 1920.
