Full question:

Astudy of 31,000 hospital admissions in New York State found that 4% of the admissions

led to treatment-caused injuries. One-seventh of these treatment-caused injuries resulted in

death, and one-fourth were caused by negligence. Malpractice claims were filed in one out

of 7.5 cases involving negligence, and payments were made in one out of every two claims

What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital is paid a malpractice claim (to decimals)

Answer:

Explanation:

Since 4% of admissions lead to treatment-caused injuries, we have 4/100×31000= 1240 treatment caused injuries for every 31000 people admitted

1/7 resulted in death = 1/7×1240= 177 people die for every 1240 treatment caused injuries

1/4 from negligence= 1/4×1240= 310 people get treatment caused injuries from negligence for every 1240 people

Malpractice claims in one of out of 7.5 cases of negligence= 13.3% of negligence cases= 0.1333×310= 41 claims for every 1240 people with treatment caused injuries

Payments were made in one out of every two claims, therefore payments for claims =50% of 41 cases of negligence= 21 payments(approximately) for every 1240 people with treatment caused injuries

Probability= number of favorable outcomes /total number of outcomes

Probability that a person admitted into the hospital will be paid a claim= 21/31000= 0.000677

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Exactly 1.30725 bags are needed to cover the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a yard with a surface of 1307.25 square feet.

We know that one bag of fertilizer covers 1000 square feet.

We want to know how many bags are needed to cover the garden. We can calculate the number of bags as:

B=S\cdot b=1307.25\;\text{sq.ft.}\cdot \dfrac{1\,\text{bag}}{1000\,\text{sq.ft.}}=1.30725\,\text{bags}

B: number of bags needed for the yard.

S: surface of the yard.

b: number of bags per square foot.
