The probability that a randomly selected person has high blood pressure (the event H) is P(H) = 0.3 and the probability that a r

andomly selected person is a runner (the event R) is P(R) = 0.5. The probability that a randomly selected person has high blood pressure and is a runner is 0.2. Find the probability that a randomly selected person is a runner, given that he has high blood pressure.

Answer: 2/3 = 0,67

Step-by-step explanation: We have P(H) = 0,3 and P(R) = 0,5.

P(High blood pressure and runner) = P(H∩R) = 0,2

The problem asks for P(runner, given he has high blood pressure) = P(R|H). This conditional probability is given by the formula:

P(A|B) = <u>P(A∩B)</u>

               P(B)      

In this case, P(R|H) = <u>P(H∩R)</u> = <u>0,2 </u>= <u>2</u> = 0,67

                                   P(H)        0,3    3

Use the Midpoint Formula three times to find the three points that divide the line segment joining (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) into fo
fredd [130]
We are given points A(x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2). 

We first find the midpoint M, of AB, which divides the segment AB into 2 equal parts, 

then we find the midpoint N of AM, and midpoint K of MB.

Thus each of the half parts is divided into 2 equal parts. The whole segment is divided into 4 equal parts.




The coordinates of M, N and K are found as follows:


the coordinates of M are: ( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})


the coordinates of N are: 

\displaystyle{( \frac{x_1+\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}}{2} , \frac{y_1+\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}}{2})=( \frac{\frac{2x_1+x_1+x_2}{2}}{2} , \frac{\frac{2y_1+y_1+y_2}{2}}{2})

=\displaystyle{(\frac{3x_1+x_2}{4}, \frac{3y_1+y_2}{4})}


similarly, the coordinates of k are:

=\displaystyle{(\frac{x_1+3x_2}{4}, \frac{y_1+3y_2}{4})}
