Answer:

a) 65%

b) 28.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that 35% of all patients admitted to a hospital's

intensive care unit have high blood pressure, 42% have some sort of infection, and 12% have both problems. Probabilities estimated from the data in ICU Admissions. (10POINTS)

 (a)  Find the probability that a randomly chosen patient in this ICU has either high blood pressure or an infection.

 (b)  Find the probability that a patient admitted to the ICU has high blood pressure given that an infection is present.

Solution:

Let H represent the people with high blood pressure and I represent the people with infection.

P(H) = 35% = 0.35, P(I) = 42% = 0.42, P(H ∩ I) = 12% = 0.12

Those with only high blood pressure = P(H ∩ I') = P(H) - P(H ∩ I) = 0.35 - 0.12 =0.23

Those with only infection = P(H' ∩ I) = P(I) - P(H ∩ I) = 0.42 - 0.12 =0.30

a) probability that a  patient has either high blood pressure or an infection = P(H ∪ I)

P(H ∪ I) = P(H ∩ I') + P(H' ∩ I) + P(H ∩ I) = 0.23 + 0.3 + 0.12 = 0.65 = 65%

b) probability that a patient has high blood pressure given that an infection is present = P(H / I)

P(H / I) = P(H ∩ I) / P(I) = 0.12 / 0.42 = 0.2857 = 28.57%

What is the slope of the line through the points (0,-3) and (2,1)?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

alright so you got 2 points! now this is the slope formula! y2-y1/x2-x1

okay let's label your points! (x1 0,y1 -3) (x2 2,y2 1)

let's follow the formula this makes it so we can solve! 1--3/2-0

I understand you may get a decimal but don't use 2.5 use a fraction because teachers seem to like fractions and general decimals can be hard to use (experience lol) 2.5 is 5/2 so this means your slope is 5/2

this formula works every single time and if you memorize it you can do any other problems with 2 points! please memorize y2-y1/x2-x1

What is the frequency of yellow
Zina [86]

Answer:

5.131 × 10¹⁴  Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Planck relation</u>

\large\boxed{E = hf}

where:

  • E = Energy of the photon (J).
  • h = Planck's constant (J · s).
  • f = frequency of light produced (Hz).

Given values:

  • E = 3.4 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
  • h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J · s

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for f:

\implies 3.4 \times 10^{-19}=(6.626 \times 10^{-34})f

\implies f=\dfrac{3.4 \times 10^{-19}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}

\implies f=\dfrac{3.4}{6.626} \times \dfrac{10^{-19}}{10^{-34}}

\implies f=0.5131\times 10^{(-19-(-34))}

\implies f=0.5131 \times 10^{15}

\implies f=5.131 \times 10^{14}
