Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
When we talk of rate of change, we talk of the slope of the line
If we had a line;
y = mx + b
m is the slope ( which is the rate of change)
To get the slope of the line, we select any two points on the line and apply the slope formula
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
let us take points (0,0) and (3,9)
m = 9-0/3-0 = 9/3 = 3
The slope here is 3
so from the option, we can see that the third option is the correct answer
Answer:
1 / 9
Step-by-step explanation:
P(Green) = 5 / 10
P(Blue) = 3 / 10
P(Red) = 2 / 10
These are independent events as one cannot occur at the same time as the other so can multiply their probabilities together
First choice green: 5 / 10
The denominator will decrease because we arent replacing the marbles after we take one out of the bag
Second choice red: 2 / 9
So
5 / 10 x 2 / 9
10 / 90 = 1 / 9
Full question:
Astudy of 31,000 hospital admissions in New York State found that 4% of the admissions
led to treatment-caused injuries. One-seventh of these treatment-caused injuries resulted in
death, and one-fourth were caused by negligence. Malpractice claims were filed in one out
of 7.5 cases involving negligence, and payments were made in one out of every two claims
What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital is paid a malpractice claim (to decimals)
Answer:
Explanation:
Since 4% of admissions lead to treatment-caused injuries, we have 4/100×31000= 1240 treatment caused injuries for every 31000 people admitted
1/7 resulted in death = 1/7×1240= 177 people die for every 1240 treatment caused injuries
1/4 from negligence= 1/4×1240= 310 people get treatment caused injuries from negligence for every 1240 people
Malpractice claims in one of out of 7.5 cases of negligence= 13.3% of negligence cases= 0.1333×310= 41 claims for every 1240 people with treatment caused injuries
Payments were made in one out of every two claims, therefore payments for claims =50% of 41 cases of negligence= 21 payments(approximately) for every 1240 people with treatment caused injuries
Probability= number of favorable outcomes /total number of outcomes
Probability that a person admitted into the hospital will be paid a claim= 21/31000= 0.000677
