Maryann is testing the effectiveness of a new acne medication. There are 100 people with acne in the study. Fifty-five patients received the acne medication, and 45 other patients did not receive treatment. Thirty of the patients who received the medication reported clearer skin at the end of the study. Twenty-two of the patients who did not receive medication reported clearer skin at the end of the study. What is the probability that a patient chosen at random from this study took the medication, given that they reported clearer skin?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 58 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M represents the event of taking medicine, M' represents the event of not taking medicine and C represents the event of clearing skin,

Thus, according to the question,

n(M) = 55,

n(M') = 45,

n(M∩C) = 30,

n(M'∩C)= 22,

⇒ n(C) = n(M∩C) + n(M'∩C) = 30 + 22 = 52

Let S shows the total number of people,

n(S) = 100

Hence, the probability of cleared skin,

[tex]P(C)=\frac{n(C)}{n(S)}=\frac{52}{100}=0.52[/tex]

And, the probability of cleared skin of that people who took the medicines,

[tex]P(M\cap C)=\frac{n(M\cap C)}{n(S)}=\frac{30}{100}=0.3[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a patient chosen at random from this study took the medication, given that they reported clearer skin,

[tex]P(\frac{M}{C})=\frac{P(M\cap C)}{n(C)}=\frac{0.3}{0.52}=0.57692307692\approx 0.58 = 58\%[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer: 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = Event that the patients received the acne medication.

B = Event that the patients did not receive the acne medication.

C = Patient reported  reported clearer skin.

Now,

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{55}{100}=0.55\ \ ,P(B)=\dfrac{45}{100}=0.45[/tex]

[tex]P(C|A)=\dfrac{30}{55}\ \ , P(C|B)=\dfrac{22}{45}[/tex]

Using Bayes theorem, The probability that a patient chosen at random from this study took the medication, given that they reported clearer skin:

[tex]P(A|C)=\dfrac{P(A)\cdot P(C|A)}{P(A)\cdot P(C|A)+P(B)\cdot P(C|B)}\\\\=\dfrac{0.55\cdot\dfrac{30}{55}}{0.55\cdot\dfrac{30}{55}+0.45\cdot\dfrac{22}{45}}=0.576923076923\approx0.58[/tex]

Hence, the required probability : 0.58

Joaquin recorded a temperature of 62°F this morning for science class. The temperature increased 6 1/2°F in the afternoon before decreasing 8.7°F in the evening. What was the evening temperature?

Answers

Add 6.5 to 62 then subtract 8.7 to get 59.8

Answer: [tex]59.8^{\circ} F[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Joaquin recorded a temperature of 62°F this morning for science class.

The temperature increased [tex]6\dfrac{1}{2}^{\circ}F[/tex] in the afternoon before decreasing 8.7°F in the evening.

We can write [tex]6\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] as [tex]6+\dfrac{1}{2}=6+0.5=6.5[/tex]  .

Now According to the question , the temperature at evening will be :-

[tex]62^{\circ}F+6\dfrac{1}{2}^{\circ}F-8.7^{\circ}F\\\\=62^{\circ}F+6.5^{\circ}F-8.7^{\circ}F\\\\=(62+6.5-8.7)^{\circ}\ F=59.8^{\circ}\ F[/tex]

Hence, the evening temperature was [tex]59.8^{\circ} F[/tex] .

The length of a rectangle is five times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is at most 96 cm. Which inequality models the relationship between the width and the perimeter of the rectangle?
2w+2⋅(5w)>96
2w+2⋅(5w)<96
2w+2⋅(5w)≤96
2w+2⋅(5w)≥96

Answers

Let

L--------> the length of the rectangle

W-------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

[tex]P=2L+2W[/tex]

[tex]P\leq 96\ cm[/tex]

so

[tex](2L+2W)\leq 96[/tex] ---------> equation [tex]1[/tex]

[tex]L=5W[/tex] ---------> equation [tex]2[/tex]

Substitute equation [tex]2[/tex] in equation [tex]1[/tex]

[tex]2*(5W)+2W\leq 96[/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

For your summer babysitting jobs you have 10 weeks to work before your family vacation and before you return to school in the fall. You are planning on earning and saving at least $1500 for your future car. Mrs. Harris is paying you $8.00 an hour to babysit during the day and Mrs. Sanchez is paying you $6.00 per hour to babysit her child in the evening.
• Let x = the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Harris
• Let y = the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Sanchez
1. Write an inequality describing the number of hours you want to work each week to reach your summer goal of at least $1500. Remember you have 10 weeks to work. How much do you want to average per week?

Answers

the answer is 8x+6y>=150. you just divide 1500 by 10 so you want to make at least 150 per week

The inequality that represents the given situation is (8x + 4y [tex]\geq[/tex] 1500) and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

You have 10 weeks to work before your family vacation and before you return to school in the fall. For your future car you are planning on earning and saving at least $1500.$8 per hour is paid by Mrs. Harris.$6 per hour is paid by Mrs. Sanchez.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the inequality that describes the number of hours you want to work each week to reach your summer goal of at least $1500:

Step 1 - Let the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Harris be 'x' and the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Sanchez be 'y'.

Step 2 - So, the inequality that represents the given situation is given below:

8x + 4y [tex]\geq[/tex] 1500

Now, the average per week can be determined by dividing 1500 by 10. So, you have to make $150 per week.

A student wants to find the density of an egg as part of an experiment. If the weight of the egg is 57 g, and its volume is 48.25 mL, which measurement could be the most precise value of the density of the egg, in g/mL?

Answers

Remember that
[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

We have a mass of 57g and a volume of 48.25mL, so then:
[tex]density=\frac{57g}{48.25mL}[/tex]

The most precise value of the density of the egg will be 1.18 g / mL.

What is Division method?

Division method is used to distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is just opposite of multiplications. For example, dividing 20 by 2 means splitting 20 into 2 equal groups of 10.

Given that;

Weight of the egg = 57 g

Volume = 48.25 mL

Now,

Since, Weight of the egg = 57 g

Volume = 48.25 mL

We know that;

⇒ Density = Mass / Volume

Substitute all the values, we get;

⇒ Density = 57 g / 48.25 mL

                = 1.18 g / mL

Thus, The density of the egg = 1.18 g/mL

Whats 95 closer to 64 or 125

Answers

125-95=30
95-64=31
so it would be 125

To find out if 95 is closer to 64 or 125, we compare the absolute differences. 95 is 31 units away from 64 and 30 units away from 125. Therefore, 95 is closer to 125.

To determine whether 95 is closer to 64 or 125, we need to calculate the absolute differences between 95 and each of the two numbers:

Difference between 95 and 64: |95 - 64| = 31Difference between 95 and 125: |125 - 95| = 30

Since 30 is smaller than 31, 95 is closer to 125 by 1 unit.

the table shows the amount of rainfall in maryville during each week in april what was the total amount if rain in that month of april

Answers

You just have to add up all the rainfall.

The total amount of rainfall in Maryville for the month of April, when expressed as a mixed fraction, is 5 and 1/24 inches. Therefore the correct option is H.

Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

For Week 1, we have 2 2/3 inches, which is a mixed number. We convert it to an improper fraction. Since 2 is equal to 6/3, adding 2/3 gives us 8/3 inches.

Step 2: Sum up the rainfall for all weeks

Now we add the rainfall for each week:

- Week 1: 8/3 inches

- Week 2: 1/8 inches

- Week 3: 1 3/4 inches, which is the same as 7/4 inches when converted to an improper fraction.

- Week 4: 1/2 inches

Step 3: Calculate the total rainfall

The total rainfall for April is the sum of all these amounts.

Let's perform this calculation.

The total amount of rainfall in Maryville for the month of April, when summed up and expressed as an improper fraction, is \( \frac{121}{24} \) inches.

This total is reached by adding the rainfall for each week:

- Week 1's rainfall is [tex]\( \frac{8}{3} \)[/tex] inches.

- Week 2's rainfall is [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \)[/tex] inches.

- Week 3's rainfall is [tex]\( \frac{7}{4} \)[/tex] inches.

- Week 4's rainfall is [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] inches.

Adding all these fractions together gives us the total rainfall for the month.
The total amount of rainfall in Maryville for the month of April, when expressed as a mixed fraction, is 5 and [tex]\( \frac{1}{24} \)[/tex] inches.
