Answer:

The correct option is B. 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event that patient brushes his teeth at least twice a day is denoted by A

So, P(A) = 0.83

Let the event that patient flosses daily is denoted by B

So, P(B) = 0.47

Now, it is given that 19 percent patients brush at least twice a day and floss daily.

⇒ P(A and B) = 0.19

Now, we need to find conditional probability of occurring event B given A has occurred.

\implies P(B|A) =\frac{P(A\: and\: B)}{P(A)}\\\\\implies P(B|A) = \frac{0.19}{0.83}\\\\\implies P(B|A) = 0.2289\approx 0.23

Hence, Nearest required percentage = 23%

Therefore, The correct option is B. 23%

The sum of a number b and 7.5 is 4.8
andre [41]
B + 7.5 = 4.8
     -7.5   -7.5
-----------------------
         b  =   -2.7

Hope this helps!!!!!




You can also check your answer by doing replacing the number with the variable ( don't just write the anwser just because you know it, since its pre algebra you have to do it algebraically like above)

-2.7 + 7.5 = 4.8

Hope it helps!

What's the answer please help

You don't need the apothem if the side length is known, the area can be expressed as:

A(n,s)=ns^2/(4tan(180/n)), n=number of sides and s=side length so

A(7,28)=(7*28^2)/(4tan(180/7))

A≈2848.987 ft^2

A≈2849 ft^2  (to the nearest tenth of a square foot)
