Here is my answer below.

Reil [10]2 years ago

Answer:  D. 43 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M is the event of receiving medicine,

M' is the event of not receiving medicine,

C is the event of clear skin.

Then According to the question,

Total size of the sample space, n(S) = 100

Number of patient who get the medicine, n(M) = 40

Number of patient who do not get the medicine, n(M') = 60

Number of patient  who received the medication reported clearer skin at the end of the study, n(M\capC) = 15

Therefore, the probability that patient  who received the medication reported clearer skin at the end of the study, P(M\cap C) = \frac{n(M\cap C)}{n(S)} = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15

Number of patient who who did not receive the medication reported clearer skin at the end of the study, n(M\capC) = 20.

Thus, the Number of patient who cleared the skin, n(C) = 15 + 20 = 35

And, the probability that the patient cleared their skin,  P(C) = \frac{n(C)}{n(S)} = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35

Therefore, the probability that a patient chosen at random from this study took the medication, given that they reported clearer skin,

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

⇒ P(\frac{M}{C} ) = \frac{0.15}{0.35}

⇒  P(\frac{M}{C} ) = \frac{3}{7}

⇒   P(\frac{M}{C} ) =0.42857142857\approx 0.43

Thus,  P(\frac{M}{C} ) = 0.43 or 43\%
