Colby is testing the effectiveness of a new allergy medication. There are 100 people with allergies in the study. Sixty-two pati

ents received the allergy medication, and 38 other patients did not receive treatment. Fifty of the patients who received the medication reported no allergies at the end of the study. Twenty of the patients who did not receive medication reported no allergies at the end of the study. What is the probability that a patient chosen at random from this study took the medication, given that they reported no allergies?

Answer: \frac{5}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the size of sample space = 100 patient.

Let M shows the event that the patients received the allergy medication,

M' shows the event that the patients do not received the allergy medication,

And, N shows the event that the patient does not has the allergy.

Thus, According to the question,

P(M)=\frac{62}{100} = 0.62

P(M')=\frac{38}{100} = 0.38

P(N)=\frac{50+20}{100} = \frac{70}{100}=0.70 ( Because, Total number of patient who do not have allergy = total patients who received the medication reported no allergies at the end of the study + total patients who did not receive medication reported no allergies at the end of the study)

P(M\cap N) = \frac{50}{100}=0.5

P(M'\cap N) = \frac{20}{100}=0.2

Thus, the probability that a patient chosen at random from this study took the medication, given that they reported no allergies,

P(\frac{M}{N} ) = \frac{P(M\cap N)}{P(N)}

⇒ P(\frac{M}{N} ) = \frac{0.5}{0.7}=\frac{5}{7}

Simply put, since we are *given* that the person reported no allergy, the group of interest is 50 medicated and 20 non-medicated 

<span>indicated Pr is thus = 50/70 = 5/7, 71% to nearest %</span>

How do you solve these?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first and only rule really is to factor these down to their primes and then apply a very simple rule

For every prime, take out 1 prime for every prime under the root sign that equals the index. The rest are thrown away.

That's very wordy. Let's try and see what it means with an example

Take sqrt(27) The index is 1/2 (square root) That means we need two threes in order to apply the rule.

sqrt(27) = sqrt(3 * 3 * 3 ) For every two primes take out 1 and throw one away.

sqrt(27) = 3 sqrt(3) You can't take out that 3rd 3.

64 = 2 * 2 *2 *2 *2 * 2

4th root 64 =  <u>2*2*2 </u><u>*2</u><u> </u>* 2 *2

for every 4th root, you get to take 1 out and throw three away.

4th root 64 = 2 fourth root (2*2)

4th root 64 = 2 fourth root (4)

- 189 = -  <u>3 * 3 * </u><u>3</u> * 7

cuberoot (- 189) = For every 3 roots, you get to pull 1 out and throw the other two away.

3 cube (- 7) is your answer.

72 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

cube root (72) = 2 cube root(9) You don't have enough threes to do any more than what is done.
