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

Brent is trying to figure out the relationship between the number of times his friends post on social media and their grade poin
andrew11 [14]

The given graph shows the relationship between the social media posts and grade point average of different students in Brent's class.

From the given graph, we can say that the grade point average of students decrease with increase in number of their social media posts.  

Since grade point average decreases approximately linearly with increase in use of social media posts, It is Strong negative correlation.

Hence, option D is correct i.e. Strong Negative Correlation.

A chef makes a fruit salad using pears and mangos. Pears and mangos each cost $2.25 per fruit. The chef buys x pears and y mango
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

P=2.25x-----------1

M=2.25y----------2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the cost of pears= $2.25 each

       and cost of mango= $2.25 each

Step two:

the chef bought x pears and y mangoes

let the total cost of pears be P

and for mango be M

P=2.25x-----------1

M=2.25y----------2

Find the area of the isosceles triangle. please help thanks
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

1080 m^2 Don't submit m^2 in your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

The catch is to find h

To do that, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a b and c are in the same 1/2 triangle.

a = 48/2 = 24 m

b = h = ?

c = 51 meters

Solution

a^2 + b^2 = 51^2                      Substitute for b^2 = h^2

24^2 + h^2 = 51^2                   Expand 24^2 and 51^2

576 + h^2 = 2601                    Subtract 576 from both sides

h^2 = 2601 - 576

h^2 = 2025                              Take the square root of both sides

h = 45

Area

Area = 1/2 b * h

Area = 1/2 48 * 45

Area = 1080

Remark

Notice that to find h you only use 1/2 of 48 because that is the base of the right triangle.

To find the area, you need to use all of 48 because 48 is the full length of the base.
