According to a study in a medical journal, 202 of a sample of 5,990 middle-aged men had developed diabetes. It also found that m

en 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. What is the probability that a middle-aged man with diabetes is very active

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

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) 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

P(A) = 0.8x + 0.25*0.2x = 0.85x

Probability of developing diabetes while being very active:

0.25x of 0.2. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.25x*0.2 = 0.05x

What is the probability that a middle-aged man with diabetes is very active?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.05x}{0.85x} = \frac{0.05}{0.85} = 0.0588

0.0588 = 5.88% probability that a middle-aged man with diabetes is very active

Answer:

A. 162 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Isosceles trapezoid with:

base a = 19m

base b = 35m

Perimeter = 74meters

==>Required:

Area of trapezoid

==>Solution:

Recall: the length of the legs of an isosceles trapezoid are equal.

Perimeter of isosceles trapezoid = sum of the parallel sides + 2(length of a leg of the trapezoid)

Let l = leg of trapezoid.

Perimeter = 74m

Sum of parallel sides = a+b = 19+35 = 54m

Thus,

74 = 54 + 2(l)

74 - 54 = 2(l)

20 = 2(l)

l = 20/2 = 10m

Let's find area:

Area = ½(a+b)*h

a = 19

b = 35

h = ?

Using Pythagorean theorem, let's find h as follows:

h² = l² - [(35-19)/2)²

h² = 10² - [16/2]²

h² = 100 - 64

h² = 36

h = √36 = 6m

Area = ½ x (a+b) × h

= ½ × (19+35) × 6

= ½ × 54 × 6

= 27 × 6

Area = 162m²

Which defines a circle a. Two days with a common endpoint b. A piece of a line with two endpoints c. A piece of a line with one
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point that is co planar with one another and is also equidistant from a given point is a circle. We need it to be co planar, otherwise it would be 3-dimensional and create a sphere. And if they we not all equidistant, they would not make an even circle (it'd be an oval or another shape).

Plot the image of D under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 2
ElenaW [278]

(-6,-4)

If you dilate a point, (c,d) about (a,b) by a scale factor by k. You'll going to subtract each coordinates where the point will be dilated about (a,b) from the point (c,d) and then multiply them by k. This would be the formula if you want: (k(c -a), k(b -d))

Let's say F is the dilation of D about the origin or (0,0) then the x coordinate of F would be

x =  2( - 3 - 0) \\ x = 2( - 3) \\ x =  - 6

This would be the y coordinate of F:

y = 2( - 2 - 0) \\ y = 2( - 2) \\ y =  - 4

Thus the coordinates of F is (-6,-4)
