We have that the the probability that the patient is in the <em>hospital </em>for surgery is mathematically given as

X=1/3

<h3>Probability</h3>

Question Parameters:

  • The probability is 0.6 that a patient selected at random from the current residents of a certain hospital will be a male.
  • The probability that the <u>patient </u>will be a male who is in for surgery is 0.2.

Generally the equation for the  probability the patients is in the hospital surgery  is mathematically given as

X= a patient selected at random is male/the <u>patient </u>will be a male who is in for surgery

Therefore

X=\frac{0.2}{0.6}

X=1/3
