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.

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

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

<h2>S=$3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of cooler is $44

money given to the two sons $50

let S represent the amount the two son will have to share equally

the change is 50-44=6

=$6

Then s=6/2=$3

applying with the expression directly we have

S = (50 - 44)/2

S = (6)/2

S=$3
