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\%

velikii [3]

Answer:

A) p = 2x - 4  for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.

Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.

p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.

Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.

44 = 2(24) - 4.
