Answer:

J = 90

John has 90 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how much money John has. To find how much J equals we need to break it down.

We already know that Steven has 150 dollars. We also know that he has 30 less than two times the amount John has.

Steven has 30 less than two times the amount John has.

So 150 + 30 = 180

180 is two times the amount John has.

Because 180 is two times the amount John has we need to divide by two.

180 ÷ 2 = 90.

J = 90. Therefore John has 90 dollars.

Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal diseas

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}$

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Periodontal disease

Event B: Heart attack

Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal disease, an inflammation of the gums.

This means that $P(A|B) = 0.82$

Only 33% of healthy people have this disease.

This means that $P(A) = 0.33$

Suppose that in a certain community heart attacks are quite rare, occurring with only 15% probability.

This means that $P(B) = 0.15$

If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack

$P(B|A) = \frac{0.15*0.82}{0.33} = 0.3727$

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Leah has The flowers shown she wants to put them in 4 vases with the same number in each case how many flowers does she need to

dsp73

Answer:

The solution is obtained by dividing the number of flowers by the number of vases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story problem is very straightforward. Normally, you need to read the problem and understand it.

Let's look at the question again.

Although we do not have all the quantities, we can still show how to solve the problem.

Let x be the total number of flowers.

There are 4 vases.

Therefore, the number of flowers in each vase will be:

x/4

Flow the same rule for similar problems.
