<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is P (S∩LC) = 0.16.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is known that the probability if someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29 and the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are also smoker is P(LC|S)=0.552.

So using the above information, we are to find the probability hat a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S∩LC).

P (LC|S) = P (S∩LC) / P (S)

Substituting the given values to get:

0.552 = P(S∩LC) / 0.29

P (S∩LC) = 0.552 × 0.29 = 0.16

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

x + y = 15

y = 3x + 1.5

x + (3x + 1.5) = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Soft ball practice = x

Soccer practice = y

y = 3x + 1.5

Total practice time :

x + y = 15 - - - (1)

x + 3x + 1.5 = 15

4x + 1.5 = 15
