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.

Alecsey [184]

Answer: 101

Step-by-step explanation:

45 women total

17 women will not watch the game

So 33 people did not want to watch the game and 17 are women

33-17 = 16 men who won’t watch the game

So 40 men who will and 16 men who won’t equals 56 men and 45 women

56+45= 101

You know that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180
we will add all the angles,
(x+8)+(2x-8)+(3x-12)=180
x+8+2x-8+3x-12=180    8 and -8 cancel out 
6x-12=180
6x=180+12
6x=192
x=192/6=32
x=32
