A study of 31,000 hospital admissions in New York State found that 4% of the admissions led to treatment-caused injuries. One-se

venth of these treatment-caused injuries resulted in death, and one-fourth were caused by negligence. Malpractice claims were filed in one out of 7.5 cases involving negligence, and payments were made in one out of every two claims.a. What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital will suffer a treatment-caused injury due to negligence? b. What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital will die from a treatment-caused injury?c. In the case of a negligent treatment-caused injury, what is the probability a malpractice claim will be paid?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability a person admitted to the hospital will suffer a treatment-caused injury due to negligence

P(injury) = 4%

P(negligence) = 1/4 = 0.25

We need to find probability (injury)(negligence)

P(injury) * P(negligence) = 0.04*0.25 = 0.01

b) probability a person admitted to the hospital will die from a treatment-caused injury

P(injury) = 4%

P(death) = 1/7

P(Injury) *P(death) = 0.04/7 = 0.00571

c) In the case of a negligent treatment-caused injury, what is the probability a malpractice claim will be paid

P(claim) = 1/7.5

P(payment) = 1/2

P(claim)*P(payment) = 1/7.5 * 1/2 = 0.06

The owner of a fish market determined that the mean weight for a catfish is 3.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.8 pound. A
madam [21]

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is 0.596

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the weights of catfish are assumed to be normally distributed,

we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = weights of catfish.

µ = mean weight

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 3.2 pounds

σ = 0.8 pound

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is is expressed as

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4)

For x = 3

z = (3 - 3.2)/0.8 = - 0.25

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.401

For x = 5.4

z = (5.4 - 3.2)/0.8 = 2.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.997

Therefore,.

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4) = 0.997 - 0.401 = 0.596

It takes 12 minutes to fill an entire bathtub using both the cold and hot water. If just the cold water is used, it takes 18 min
Kipish [7]

Answer:

<h2>It takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are gonna name V the complete volume of the bathtub, which is filled a certain amount of minutes. Each filling rate or speed is gonna be expressed as: \frac{V}{t}.

So, if we apply this consideration to each case we have:

Using cold and hot water: \frac{V}{12}

Using only cold water: \frac{V}{18}

Using only hot water: \frac{V}{x}; because we don't knot the time it takes to fill the bathtub with hot water.

Now, as you can see, Cold and Hot water is a sum of cold water only and hot water only:

\frac{V}{12}=\frac{V}{18}+\frac{V}{x}

Solving the equation for <em>x: </em>

\frac{V}{12}=\frac{xV+18V}{18x} \\\frac{V}{12}=\frac{(x+18)V}{18x}\\\\\frac{18xV}{V}=12(x+18)\\18x=12x+216\\18x-12x=216\\6x=216\\x=\frac{216}{6}=36

Therefore, it takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.

What is the solution to the proportion 42 over 56 equals 12 over x ? x =_______
levacccp [35]
42 12
—- = —-
56 x


Simplified:

3 12
— = —-
4 x

Multiply both sides by 4:

3 = 48
—-
x

Multiply both sides by x:

3x = 48

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 16

Marine ecologists estimate the reproduction curve for swordfish in a fishing ground to be f(p) = −0.01p2 + 9p, where p and f(p)
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.

The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be f(p) = -0.01\cdot p^{2}+9\cdot p, the maximum sustainable yield can be found by using first and second derivatives of the given function: (First and Second Derivative Tests)

First Derivative Test

f'(p) = -0.02\cdot p +9

Let equalize the resulting expression to zero and solve afterwards:

-0.02\cdot p + 9 = 0

p = 450

Second Derivative Test

f''(p) = -0.02

This means that result on previous part leads to an absolute maximum.

The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.

The maximum sustainable yield is:

f(450) = -0.01\cdot (450)^{2}+9\cdot (450)

f(450) =2025

The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.
