<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

Solve this equation: -7x + 12 – 2x = 23 + 13.0
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can combine the -7x and the -2x and the left side to get -9x and the 23 and 13 on the right side to get 36.

This gives us

-9x + 12 = 36

Subtacting 12 from both sides gives us

-9x = 24

dividing by -9 gives us

x = - 8/3
