Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability a person admitted to the hospital will suffer a treatment-caused injury due to negligence

P(injury) = 4%

P(negligence) = 1/4 = 0.25

We need to find probability (injury)(negligence)

P(injury) * P(negligence) = 0.04*0.25 = 0.01

b) probability a person admitted to the hospital will die from a treatment-caused injury

P(injury) = 4%

P(death) = 1/7

P(Injury) *P(death) = 0.04/7 = 0.00571

c) In the case of a negligent treatment-caused injury, what is the probability a malpractice claim will be paid

P(claim) = 1/7.5

P(payment) = 1/2

P(claim)*P(payment) = 1/7.5 * 1/2 = 0.06

The quadratic function d = –2x^2 + 15 models a skateboarder’s distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the s
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

After 1.87 seconds the skateboarder is 8 ft from the bottom of the hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function d = –2*x² + 15 models a skateboarder’s distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the skateboarder starts moving down the hill.

You want to know after how many seconds the skater is 8 feet from the bottom of the hill. That is, with the distance being 8 feet, you want to calculate the time t. Replacing in the expression d by the value of 8 feet:

8=–2*x² + 15

Solving:

8-15 = -2*x²

-7= -2*x²

(-7)÷(-2)= x²

3.5= x²

√3.5=x

1.87= x

<u><em>After 1.87 seconds the skateboarder is 8 ft from the bottom of the hill.</em></u>
