An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw: results an

d surgical technique," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) cites a success rate more than 90% for meniscal tears with a rim width of less than 3 mm, but only a 67% success rate for tears of 3-6 mm. If you are unlucky enough to suffer a meniscal tear of less than 3 mm on your left knee, and one of width 3-6 mm on your right knee, what are the mean and variance of the number of successful surgeries?

Answer:

Mean = 1.57

Variance=0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean and the variance of the number of successful surgeries (X), we first have to enumerate the possible outcomes:

1) Both surgeries are successful (X=2).

P(e_1)=0.90*0.67=0.603

2) Left knee unsuccessful and right knee successful (X=1).

P(e_2)=(1-0.9)*0.67=0.1*0.67=0.067

3) Right knee unsuccessful and left knee successful (X=1).

P(e_3)=0.90*(1-0.67)=0.9*0.33=0.297

4) Both surgeries are unsuccessful (X=0).

P(e_4)=(1-0.90)*(1-0.67)=0.1*0.33=0.033

Then, the mean can be calculated as the expected value:

M=\sum p_iX_i=0.603*2+0.067*1+0.297*1+0.033*0\\\\M=1.206+0.067+0.297+0\\\\M=1.57

The variance can be calculated as:

V=\sum p_i(X_i-\bar{X})^2\\\\V=0.603(2-1.57)^2+(0.067+0.297)*(1-1.57)^2+0.033*(0-1.57)^2\\\\V=0.603*0.1849+0.364*0.3249+0.033*2.4649\\\\V=0.1115+0.1183+0.0813\\\\V=0.3111

Find the inequality represented by the graph.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

y>4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let us find the equation of the line.

Given points (1,2) and (0, -2), the slope would be

(2-(-2))/(1-0) = 4/1= 4

The intercept is at -2, so the full equation would be

y=4x-2

However, we need to find the inequality of the graph. Everything greater than our line/above our line is included. Also notice that the line is dotted, which means that the line itself is not included.

Our equations should be,

y>4x-2

<em>I hope this helps! :)</em>
