Answer:

200 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It's proportions basically.

frst off, 2% of 100 ml is 2 ml, so the 100 ml solution has 2 ml of Minoxidil.

Eventually we want 6/100 to be the porportion.  so the total is going to be 100 (from the initial 100 ml) plus however much is needed x.  And we want the amount of Minoxidil to be 2 + 8 percent of x.  so this gets us the equation

6/100 = (2 + .08x)/(100+x)  Then we solve

(100 + x) 6/100 = 2 + .08x

(100 + x) 6 = 200 + 8x

600 + 6x = 200 + 8x

400 = 2x

x = 200

so they should add 200 ml

You can check too.  there is 100 + 200 ml of solution total and 2 + 16 ml of Minoxidil so that's 18/300 = 6/100

Jimmy made a scale drawing of his house. The actual dimensions of his house are 50 feet by 100 feet. He used the scale 1 inch :
sleet_krkn [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

10 feet = 1 inch

50 feet = 5 inches

Do the same thing for the length.

If you don't under stand.

50/10 = 5

1/10 = x/50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5 inches

Then you do the same with the lenght.

According to the American Lung Association, 7% of the population has lung disease. Of those having lung disease, 90% are smokers
postnew [5]

Answer:

Probability that a smoker has lung disease = 0.2132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = event that % of population having lung disease, P(L) = 0.07

So,% of population not having lung disease, P(L') = 1 - P(L) = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93

S = event that person is smoker

% of population that are smokers given they are having lung disease, P(S/L) = 0.90

% of population that are smokers given they are not having lung disease, P(S/L') = 0.25

We know that, conditional probability formula is given by;

                        P(S/L) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(L)}  

                        P(S\bigcap L) = P(S/L) * P(L)

                                      = 0.90 * 0.07 = 0.063

So,  P(S\bigcap L) = 0.063 .

Now, probability that a smoker has lung disease is given by = P(L/S)

      P(L/S) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(S)}

P(S) = P(S/L) * P(L) + P(S/L') * P(L')

       = 0.90 * 0.07 + 0.25 * 0.93 = 0.2955

Therefore, P(L/S) = \frac{0.063}{0.2955} = 0.2132

Hence, probability that a smoker has lung disease is 0.2132 .
