Answer:

The events being a heavy smoker and having emphysema are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of women = 2000

Number of heavy smoker = 340

Number of women who has emphysema = 25

Number of women who has emphysema and are heavy smoker = 21

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

P(Smoker) =

P(S) = \dfrac{340}{2000}=0.17

P(emphysema) =

P(E) = \dfrac{25}{2000}= 0.0125

P(Smoker and emphysema) =

P(S\cap E) = \dfrac{21}{2000} = 0.0105

Two events A and B are said to be independent if

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

Checking conditions for independence:

P(S)\times P(E) = 0.17\times 0.0125=0.002125\\P(S)\times P(E) \neq 0.0105\\P(S)\times P(E)\neq P(S\cap E)

Thus, the events being a heavy smoker and having emphysema are not independent.

Answer:

  D).  (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola opens to the right, so the focus will be to the right of the vertex at (0, 0). The only answer choice with a positive x-value is D.

___

The equation of a parabola with vertex (0, 0) can be written as

  y^2 = 4px

where p is the distance from the vertex to the focus. Here, that distance is 1.
