So, to find the answer you'd first add up how many patients you have:
20+50+100 = 170.
In a fraction your total would go on the bottom. Then you'd take how many patients are taking a real drug, which is represented by 20+50 = 70. This number would go on top.

So, the probability of a patient NOT getting a placebo is 70/170. Simplified would be 7/17. 

The answer is D. 7/17.

The diagram shows a tile in the shape of a trapezium.
Ann [662]

Answer:

286cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the parallel sides be 12cm and 10cm

Height h = 26cm

Area of a trapezium = 1/2(a+b) * h

Area of a trapezium = 1/2(12+10)* 26

Area of a trapezium = 1/2(22)*26

Area of a trapezium = 11 * 26

Area of a trapezium = 286cm²

Hence the area of the tiles is 286cm²

How can I solve this?!
Nutka1998 [239]

A

evaluate f(5) and f(2)

f(5) = 5m + b and f(2) = 2m + b, hence

f(5) - f(2) = 5m + b - 2m - b = 3m

the expression simplifies to

\frac{3m}{3} = 2 ( cross- multiply )

3m = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

m = 2 → A

Which expression represents the product of s and 39?<br>A=39-s<br>B=39÷s<br>C=39s<br>D=39+s​
Degger [83]
The answer would be c because it means Multiply and whenever a variable is next to a number in this case 39s then that means it a multiplication
So C. 39s
