<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

Which inequality statement best represents the graph?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

f(x) < –x2 + x – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is going down so we know that there is a maximum, therefore the A value has to be negative. This rules out f(x) < x2 + x – 1 and f(x) > x2 + x – 1 . The shaded area of the graph is below which indicates that f(x) has to be less than the function. This means the correct answer is f(x) < –x2 + x – 1 .

Parallel lines cut by transversal. How to find angle measure.
allochka39001 [22]
#1 30
#2 150
#3 110
#4 60

#5 2x+50+3x=180
combine like terms

5x+50=180
subtract 50 from both sides

5x=130
divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable

x=26

#5 3x=3(26)=78
#6 2x+50=2(26)+50=102
