Answer: 0.421
Step-by-step explanation:
Heavy smoker = 20%
Light smoker = 30%
Non smokers = 50%
We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.
Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:
= 2 × y = 2y
Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y
The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:
Non smoker:
= 50% × y
= 0.5 × y
= 0.5y
Light smoker:
= 30% × 2y
= 0.3 × 2y.
= 0.6y
Heavy smoker:
= 20% × 4y.
= 0.2 × 4y
= 0.8y
Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y
The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:
= 0.8y/1.9y
= 0.421
Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)

Answer:
Let x equal the ice thickness. An equality that represents a safe ice thickness for walkability is:
x ≥ 4 inches
(Plus the graph)
Step-by-step explanation:
Defining a variable just means you let any letter or symbol take the place of something. But you have to specifically say what is what in order for it to be clear.
So I defined "x" as the variable to represent the ice's thickness. And since we want an inequality for all the safe thicknesses, we could say that "x" must be greater than or equal to 4 inches thick in order to safely walk on it.
Lastly, you'd graph it with a solid point on 4 with the arrow going to the right.
