Answer:

48.48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that there is a number N of women.

32% of these are smokers, then there are 0.32*N smokers

then 68% of these are non-smokers, then there are 0.68*N non-smokers.

Let's assume that the probability of having a ectopic pregnancy for a non-smoker is p (and the probability for a smoker will be 2*p)

Then the number of women with an ectopic pregnancy that are non-smokers is:

p*0.68*N

The number of women with an ectopic pregnancy that are smokers is:

2*p*0.32*N

Then the total number of women with an ectopic pregnancy will be:

p*0.68*N + 2*p*0.32*N

The percentage of women having an ectopic pregnancy that are smokers is equal to the quotient between the number of women with an ectopic pregnancy that are smokers and the total number of women with an ectopic pregnancy, all that times 100%.

The percentage is:

P = \frac{2*p*0.32*N}{p*0.68*N + 2*p*0.32*N} *100\%

Taking p and N as common factors, we get:

P = \frac{2*p*0.32*N}{p*0.68*N + 2*p*0.32*N} *100\% = \frac{N*p}{N*p} \frac{2*0.32}{0.68 + 2*0.32} *100\%

Then we get:

\frac{2*0.32}{0.68 + 2*0.32} *100\% = 48.48\%

Help plzz I need the length of "b" and the answers and the steps to find that answer??? Plz help don't have a lot of time to sub
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Use pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shorter sides are 1 & 4

1^2+4^2=c^2

1+16=c^2

17=c^2

So, the length, rounded to the nearest whole inch, would be 4.

To find the perimeter, you need to find the side lengths first.

The short sides are 6 & 7.

6^2+7^2=c^2

36+49=c^2

85=c^2

So the length for that would be 8, in the nearest whole number.

Add all of the side lengths together.

6+7+8= 21

The perimeter is 21.
