50% don't smoke, 20% light smokers, 30% heavy smokers heavy smokers twice as likely to die as light smokers, light smokers twice as likely to die as nonsmokers probability of being a heavy smoker given person died?

Answers

Answer 1

The probability of person being a heavy smoker given person died is 0.57 .

Baye's Theorem helps in finding the probability of any event A given that event B has already occurred.

For Example the probability of event A given that event B has already occurred is denoted by

[tex]P(A/B)=\frac{P(B/A)P(A)}{P(B)}[/tex]

In the given question

Let H denoted heavy smokers , L denote Light smokers , N denote Non smokers.

Given the probability of non smokers P(N) = 50%=0.5

the probability of light smokers P(L)=20%=0.2

the probability of heavy smokers P(H)=30%=0.3

let P(D/H) denoted the person died given he was a heavy smoker.

let P(D/L) denoted the person died given he was a light smoker.

let P(D/N) denoted the person died given that he was a non smoker.

According to question

"heavy smokers twice as likely to die as light smokers" means

P(D/H)=2P(D/L)......(1)

and "light smokers twice as likely to die as nonsmokers" means

P(D/L)=2P(D/N)

On simplifying we get

[tex]P(D/N)=\frac{1}{2} P(D/L)\\ \\ P(D/N)=0.5 P(D/L)[/tex].....(2)

According to Baye's Theorem

[tex]P(H/D)=\frac{P(D/H)P(H)}{P(D/N)P(N)+P(D/L)P(L)+P(D/H)P(H)}[/tex]

Substituting values of P(D/H) from ...(1) and values of P(D/N) from ....(2)

we get [tex]P(H/D)=\frac{2*P(D/L)P(H)}{0.5*P(D/L)P(N)+P(D/L)P(L)+2*P(D/L)P(H)}[/tex]

taking P(D/L) common from each term

[tex]P(H/D)=\frac{P(D/L)}{P(D/L)} (\frac{2*P(H)}{0.5*P(N)+P(L)+2*P(H)})[/tex]

[tex]P(H/D)= (\frac{2*P(H)}{0.5*P(N)+P(L)+2*P(H)})[/tex]

Substituting the values of P(N), P(H), P(L) from above we get

[tex]P(H/D)= (\frac{2*(0.3)}{0.5*(0.5)+(0.2)+2*(0.3)})[/tex]

[tex]P(H/D)= (\frac{0.6}{0.25+0.2+0.6})[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{0.6}{1.05}=0.57[/tex]

Therefore , the probability of person being a heavy smoker given person died is 0.57 .

find the lines slope and point on the line

Answers

The slope is 4 and point on the line is origin (0,0).

What is line?

A line is a straight one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely in both directions. A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely. It is determined by two points in a two-dimensional plane. The two points which lie on the same line are said to be collinear points.

Given:

The equation of the line is

y+4=4(x-2)

We have to find the slope and point on the line.

y+4=4(x-2)

y+4=4x-8

Substract 4 from both sides we get,

y=4x-12

Since the equation now is in y = mx + b form, we can identify the slope m=4 and the y-intercept b=-12 and point on the line origin (0,0).

Therefore, the slope is 4 and point on the line is origin (0,0).

Applying the alternate exterior angles theorem, the value of x = 10.

How to Apply the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem?

According to the alternate exterior angles theorem, the following alternate interior angles are congruent to each other:

Given the following:

m<JPM = 125°

m<NQK = (13x - 5)°

Substitute

125 = 13x - 5

125 + 5 = 13x

130 = 13x

Divide both sides by 13

What does x equals to

Answers

The value of x is 20°

According to the question we have been given two parallel lines which is cut by a transversal line. There are total 8 angles and given is the measure of

∠4 = 5x + 35° and ∠7 = 45°.

We need to find the value of x.

Note that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then

i) corresponding angles are equal that is

                ∠1 = ∠5, ∠2 = ∠6, ∠3 = ∠7, and ∠4 = ∠8

ii) alternate interior angles are equal that is

                 ∠3 = ∠6, and ∠4 = ∠5

iii) alternate exterior angles are equal that is

                ∠1 = ∠8, and ∠2 = ∠7

iv) Consecutive interior angle sum is 180°

          ∠4 + ∠6 = 180°, and ∠3 + ∠5 = 180°.

Now using these rules we will solve this problem

Because of corresponding angles ,  ∠3 = ∠7 = 45°

Also ∠3 and ∠8 make a linear pair and sum of linear pair is 180°.

Therefore ,  ∠3 + ∠8 = 180°

                   45° + 5x + 35° = 180°

                     5x = 180° - 80°

                      x = 20°

Hence the value of x is 20°

What is the general solution of a trigonometric equation?

The general solution of a trigonometric equation is a formula employing the integer n that provides all solutions.

Given:

EQuation: 2 cos( 4θ) - 1 = 0.Interval: 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/2

TO find: Values of θ.

Finding:

In the given equation: 2 cos( 4θ) - 1 = 0,

=> cos (4θ) = 1/2

=> cos (4θ) = cos (π/3)

=> 4θ = 2nπ ± π/3

=> θ = nπ/2 ± π/12

For n = 0, θ = ± π/12

For n = 1, θ = π/2 ± π/12

Since θ ∈ [0, π/2],  the possible values of θ = π/12, π/2 - π/12 = 5π/12.

Hence, The values of θ that satisfy the given equation are: 5π/12, π/12.

Answers

The number of players randomly selected is 381 and the standard deviation is 1.96.

What is the standard deviation?

The standard deviation is a measurement of how much a group of values varies or is dispersed. While a high standard deviation suggests that the values are dispersed over a wider range, a low standard deviation suggests that the values tend to be close to the mean (also known as the anticipated value) of the collection. The lower case Greek letter (sigma), for the population standard deviation, or the Latin symbol, for the sample standard deviation, are most frequently used in mathematical texts and equations to indicate standard deviation. Standard deviation may be written as SD. A random variable, sample, statistical population, data set, or probability distribution's standard deviation is equal to the square root of its variance.

[tex]Z(\alpha /2)=1.96[/tex]

Sample size = n = [tex][Z(\alpha /2 * \sigma/E) ]^{2}[/tex]

Answers

The probability of at least one person being vaccinated out of four people chosen at random is 0.30, or 30%, rounded to the nearest hundredths.

What do we mean by probability?Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with numerical summaries of how likely an event is to occur or how likely a proposition is to be true. The likelihood of an event occurring is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates the event's impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

To find the probability that at least one of them has been vaccinated:

In a huge number, 63% of people are vaccinated, leaving 37% unvaccinated. The point of concern for the probability that at least one of the four randomly selected people has been vaccinated. As a result, we must account for the possibility that one, two, three, or four randomly selected people were vaccinated.

We use P(1) for only one person; the same reasoning should apply to other subscripts.

P(1) = (63/100)(37/100)(37/100)(37/100) = 0.03089833P(2) = (63/100)(63/100)(37/100)(37/100) = 0.05094049P(3) = (63/100)(63/100)(63/100)(37/100) = 0.08398297P(4) = (63/100)(63/100)(63/100)(63/100) = 0.13845841
