Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.

Conditional Probability

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 problem:

  • Event A: Person has the flu.
  • Event B: Person got the flu shot.

The percentages associated with getting the flu are:

  • 20% of 30%(got the shot).
  • 65% of 70%(did not get the shot).

Hence:

P(A) = 0.2(0.3) + 0.65(0.7) = 0.515

The probability of both having the flu and getting the shot is:

P(A \cap B) = 0.2(0.3) = 0.06

Hence, the conditional probability is:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.515} = 0.1165

0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

Factor each of the following differences of two squares and write your answer together with solution.

\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}

<h3><u>1. x² - 36</u></h3>

\sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 36

Rewrite \sf\:x^{2}-36 as x^{2}-6^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule:\sf\: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).

\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right) }}

<h3><u>2. 49 - x²</u></h3>

\sf \: 49 - x ^ { 2 }

Rewrite 49-x² as 7²-x². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: \sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).

\sf \: \left(7-x\right)\left(7+x\right)

Reorder the terms.

\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-x+7\right)\left(x+7\right) }}

<h3><u>3. 81 - c²</u></h3>

\sf \: 81 - c ^ { 2 }

Rewrite 81-c²as 9²-c². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: \sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).

\sf\left(9-c\right)\left(9+c\right)

Reorder the terms.

\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-c+9\right)\left(c+9\right) }}

\sf \: m ^ { 2 } n ^ { 2 } - 1

Rewrite m²n² - 1 as \sf\left(mn\right)^{2}-1^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: \sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).

In right ∆ABC the altitude CH to the hypotenuse AB intersects angle bisector AL in point D. Find BC if AD = 8 cm and DH = 4 cm.
alina1380 [7]
Check the picture below.

notice that the triangle ADH, since the segment AL is an angle bisector, meaning  it cuts the angle A in two equal halves, then the triangle ADH is only using half of A.

Which pair of numbers is relatively prime
Anna007 [38]
Without any calculations it's evident it can't be neither B (both numbers are even, so they're divisible by 2) nor C (the numbers end in 0 and 5, so they're divisible by 5).

A.
57=3\cdot19\\&#10;96=2^5\cdot3
Both numbers have a factor of 3, so they're not relatively prime.
That means it must be D. But, let's check it.

143=11\cdot13\\&#10;323=17\cdot19

Indeed, those two numbers are relatively prime.
