Let events
A=Nathan has allergy
~A=Nathan does not have allergy
T=Nathan tests positive
~T=Nathan does not test positive
We are given
P(A)=0.75 [ probability that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98 [probability of testing positive given Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]
We want to calculate probability that Nathan is allergic AND tests positive
P(T n A)
From definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A)
substitute known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
solving for P(T n A)
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735
Hope this helps!!
So for the perimeter, there will be 2 of each side. 3(2)+6(2)= 18.
The perimeter is 18 feet.
