A recent survey by the cancer society has shown that the probability that someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29. They have also deter

mined that the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are a smoker is P(LC|S)=0.552. What is the probability (rounded to the nearest hundredth) that a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S∩LC) ?

<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

X²=14x-45 step by step please
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

X=9 and X=5

Step-by-step explanation:

So you want to get one side to equal zero so you can factor and find x. I recommend subtracting 14x and adding 45 to both sides so you don't have to deal with a negative quadratic.

X^2 - 14X +45 = 0

Now you can factor. Your looking for two factors that equal 45 and add to -14

All factors of 45:

1 and 45, 3 and 15, 5 and 9, -1 and -45,

-3 and -15, -5 and -9

So out of those combinations -5 and -9 both multiply to 45 and add up to -14 so these are our common factors

(X-5)(X-9)=0

X-5=0 add 5 to both sides X=5

X-9=0 add 9 to both sides X=9

Pls help it is due very soon.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is sqrt(a^2 + b^ 2) = c, so:

sqrt(22^2 + 8^2) = c

sqrt(548) = c

23.41 = c

The limit as h approaches 0 of (e^(2+h)-e^2)/h is ?
Whitepunk [10]
<span>If you plug in 0, you get the indeterminate form 0/0. You can, therefore, apply L'Hopital's Rule to get the limit as h approaches 0 of e^(2+h),
which is just e^2.
</span><span><span><span>[e^(<span>2+h) </span></span>− <span>e^2]/</span></span>h </span>= [<span><span><span>e^2</span>(<span>e^h</span>−1)]/</span>h

</span><span>so in the limit, as h goes to 0, you'll notice that the numerator and denominator each go to zero (e^h goes to 1, and so e^h-1 goes to zero). This means the form is 'indeterminate' (here, 0/0), so we may use L'Hoptial's rule:

=<span>e^2</span></span>
