Can someone teach me how to solve this please

Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal diseas

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}$

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Periodontal disease

Event B: Heart attack

Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal disease, an inflammation of the gums.

This means that $P(A|B) = 0.82$

Only 33% of healthy people have this disease.

This means that $P(A) = 0.33$

Suppose that in a certain community heart attacks are quite rare, occurring with only 15% probability.

This means that $P(B) = 0.15$

If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack

$P(B|A) = \frac{0.15*0.82}{0.33} = 0.3727$

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Which expression represents the sum of (2x-5y) and (x+y)?

trasher [3.6K]

(2x-5y) + (x+y)
= (2x+x) + (-5y+y)
= 3x + (-4y)
= 3x-4y
So option A is the correct one.

If ( f ∘ g)(x) = x2 - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x - 3, what is f(x)?

DochEvi [55]

$\bf \begin{cases}
(f\circ g)(x)=x^2-6x+8\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)=f(~~g(x)~~)\\\\
g(x)=x-3\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, one probability is }x^2-1
\\\\\\
f(x)=x^2-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=(x-3)^2-1
\\\\\\
f(~~g(x)~~)=(x^2-6x+9)-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=x^2-6x+8$

The number of major earthquakes in a year is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 20.8 and a standard deviation of

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a) 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

b) 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 20.8, \sigma = 4.5$
