there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person?

Answer:

No it cannot be concluded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting the disease in the first attempt is 50%

The probability of getting the disease in the second attempt is 50%

Thus the probability of getting the disease in either of the turns is 50%+50%=100% (which may seem to be true)

BUT

The probability of not  getting the disease in the first attempt is 50%

The probability of not getting the disease in the second attempt is 50%

Thus the probability of not getting the disease in either of the turns is 50%+50%=100% (which is also true for this case)

Thus the probability of getting the disease in either of the 2 contacts is still 50%

After reading a book foe English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it. Nine twenty-fifths of the class
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The number of students who liked the book was 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

After reading a book for English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it.

Now, given that nine twenty-fifths of the class did not like the book.

So, \frac{9}{25} of the whole class did not like the book.

Then, the fraction of the class who did like the book was (1 - \frac{9}{25}) = \frac{16}{25}.

Therefore, the number of students who liked the book was (100 \times \frac{16}{25}) = 64. (Answer)
