Bobby is testing the effectiveness of a new cough medication. There are 100 people with a cough in the study. Seventy patients r

eceived the cough medication, and 30 other patients did not receive treatment. Thirty-four of the patients who received the medication reported no cough at the end of the study. Twenty of the patients who did not receive medication reported no cough 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 cough?

Answer:

The answer is : 63%. 

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 100 people with a cough in the study.

70 patients received the cough medication, and 30 other patients did not receive treatment.

34 of the patients who received the medication reported no cough at the end of the study.

20 of the patients who did not receive medication reported no cough at the end of the study.

So, there are a total of 54 patients who reported no cough after the medication.

Out of this 54 patients, 34 took the medication.

So, the required probability is:

\frac{34}{54}\times100= 62.96% ≈ 63%

The answer is : 63%.

Answer:

0.665

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  100 people are split into two groups 70 and 30.  I group is given cough syrup treatment but second group did not.

Prob for a person to be in the cough medication group = 0.70

Out of people who received medication, 34% did not have cough

Prob for a person to be in cough medication and did not have cough

=\frac{0.70(34)}{60}=0.397


Prob for a person to be not in cough medication and did not have cough

=\frac{0.3(20)}{30}=0.20

Probability for a person not to have cough

= P(M1C')+P(M2C')

where M1 = event of having medication and M2 = not having medication and C' not having cough

This is because M1 and M2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

SO P(C') = 0.397+0.2=0.597

Hence required prob =P(M1/C') = \frac{0.397}{0.597}=0.665

Given f (x) = 2x² +1evaluate f (-1).
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 1

f(-1) means that wherever you see an x on the right hand side, you substitute -1.

f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

when a linear function is graphed it passes through the points (-1,1), (1,5), and (3,9) what is the rate of change for the funct
vesna_86 [32]
Use the linear slope formula to solve for m: 

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

using the points (-1,1) and (1,5) you can find the slope for the first interval:
 
m=(5-1)/(1-(-1))
m=4/2
m=2

you can double check by using the same formula on the second interval, which is (1,5) to (3,9).

m=(9-5)/(3-1)
m=4/2
m=2 

therefore, the rate of change is 2.

On a certain​ exam, Tony corrected 20 papers and found the mean for his group to be 70. Alice corrected the remaining 10 papers
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The mean of the combined group is 76.67 ≈ 77

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The sum of the grades in Tom's group is 20×70 = 1400
  2. The sum of grades in Alice's group is 10×90=900
  3. The sum of gradees in the combined group is =1400+900=2300
  4. Then the mean grade of the combined group is \frac{2300}{30}=76.67

where

  • 2300 is the sum of the all grades in the combined group
  • 30 is the total number of people in the group
