Answer:
0.0588 = 5.88% probability that a middle-aged man with diabetes is very active
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Has diabetes.
Event B: Is very active.
Probability of having diabetes:
To find this probability, we take in consideration that:
It also found that men who were very active (burning about 3,500 calories daily) were a fourth as likely to develop diabetes compared with men who were sedentary. Assume that one-fifth of all middle-aged men are very active, and the rest are classified as sedentary.
So the probability of developing diabetes is:
x of 4/5 = x of 0.8(not active)
x/4 = 0.25x of 1/5 = 0.2(very active). So
Probability of developing diabetes while being very active:
0.25x of 0.2. So
What is the probability that a middle-aged man with diabetes is very active?
0.0588 = 5.88% probability that a middle-aged man with diabetes is very active
Given:
Figure of similar triangles.
To find:
The value of x and the measure of NR.
Solution:
In triangle RST and RMN,
(Vertically opposite angles)
(Alternate interior angles)
(By AA property of similarity)
We know that, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
On further simplification, we get
The value of x is 7.
Now,
Therefore, the value of x is 7 and the measure of NR is 12 units.
