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\%

Answer:

The sweat chloride reference value is less than 30 mmol/L. A value of more than 60 mmol/L of chloride in the sweat is consistent with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The values of 30-60 mEq/L may represent heterozygous carriers, these carriers cannot be accurately identified with a sweat chloride test.

Of the last 500 customers entering a supermarket, 50 have purchased a wireless phone. If the relative frequency approach for ass
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The probability that the next customer will purchase a wireless phone is 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative frequency approach states<em> how often something happens divided by all outcomes</em>.

In the example some of the customers entering a supermarket purchased a wireless phone.  

Here all outcomes are 500 customer entering supermarket. And among these outcome purchasing wireless phone happened 50 times.

Then the probability that the next customer will purchase a wireless phone is

\frac{50}{500}.

If we divide both sides by 50, we get \frac{1}{10}=0.1

3(x + 2) = 2x + 14<br> How many solutions
Katarina [22]

Answer:

I solution; x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation and then isolating the variable

3(x+2)= 2x+14

Distributive Property

3x+6=2x+14

Isolate the variable

3x+6-6=2x+14-6        which is 3x=2x+8

3x-2x=2x-2x+8

x=8
