Hi Kay, the point-slope form of a line is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Substituting the given point, (6, -8), and the slope, -2, gives: y - (-8) = -2 * (x - 6) This becomes: y + 8 = -2x + 12
Let BS be the event that the patient survives bypass surgery.
Let H be the event that the heart damage will heal.
Then P(BS) = 0.60, and also we have a conditional probability: GIVEN that the patient survives,
the probability that the heart damage will heal is 0.5, that is P(H|BS) = 0.5
We want to know P(BS and H).
Using the formula of the conditional probability:
P(H and BS) = P(H|BS)·P(BS) = (0.6)(0.5) = 0.3
