Based on the calculation below, the likelihood that if someone died they were a heavy smoker is 42.11%.
<h3>How do we calculate the likelihood of an occurrence?</h3>
Let:
Likelihood that a non-smoker will die = x
Therefore, we have:
Likelihood that a light smoker will die = 2 * x = 2x
Likelihood that a heavy smoker will die= 2 * 2x = 4x
From the above, we have:
Expected number of non smokers that will die = 50% * x = 0.5x
Expected number of light smokers that will die = 30% * 2x = 60%x = 0.6x
Expected number of heavy smokers that will die = 20% * 4x = 80%x = 0.8x
Total expected = 0.5x + 0.6x + 0.8x = 1.9x
Therefore, we have:
Likelihood that a heavy smoker died = Expected number of heavy smokers that will die / Total expected = 0.8x / 1.9x = 0.4211, or 42.11%

The equation of a line is written as y =Mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, which is the y value when x = 0.
You are told the slope is -1/4, so replace m with -1/4. You are also given the point (0,0) which means when x is 0, y is also 0, so replace b with 0.
The equation becomes y= -1/4x + 0
Because y is 0 you aren’t adding anything to the equation so you can remove it from the equation.
Answer is y = -1/4x
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the difference between the two points then change to opp. in order to find the other endpoint.
