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%

Solve the system by substitution <br><br> 7x-6y=16 (1)<br> y=-5<br><br> Show step by step
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

7x - 6y = 16

y = (-5)

using substitution method

7x - 6(-5) = 16

7x +30 = 16

7x = 16 - 30

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x= 2

That means that the first rectangle and the first triangle ave athe same perimiter

so therefor
perimiter=sides added up
 rectangle has 4 sides bu 2 is given so double it since the other side is same legnth
rec=x+x+4
multiply 2
2x+2x+8=4x+8=perimiter
this is equal to perimiter of triangle which is
x+9+x+5+x=3x+14
therefor
4x+8=3x+14
subtract 3x from both sides
x+8=14
subtract 8 from both sides
x=6
first one x=6





second rectangle and second triangle
s+7 and 3s
2 sides
2s+14+6s=p
8s+14=p

traignel=2s+12+2s+12+2s+12=6s+36=p
they are equal so
8s+14=6s+36
subtract 6s from both sides
2s+14=36
subtract 14 from both sides
2s=22
divide both sideds by 2
s=11






the values are
pair one:
x=6

pair 2:
s=11
