It is estimated that, during the past year, 27% of all adults visited a therapist and 46% of all adults used non-prescription antidepressants. It is also estimated that 21% of all adults both visited a therapist and used a non-prescription antidepressant during the past year.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected adult who visited a therapist during the past year also used non-prescription antidepressants? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

(b) What is the probability that an adult visited a therapist during the past year, given that he or she used non-prescription antidepressants? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

(a) The probability of an adult using non-prescription antidepressants given that he visited the therapist is 0.78.

(b) The probability of an adult visited the therapist given that he was using non-prescription antidepressants is 0.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability of an event X given that another event Y has already occurred is:

Let A = an adult visited the therapist and B = an used non-prescription antidepressants.

Given:

P (A) = 0.27

P (B) = 0.46

P (A ∩ B) = 0.21

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected adult who visited a therapist during the past year also used non-prescription antidepressants as follows:

Thus, the probability of an adult using non-prescription antidepressants given that he visited the therapist is 0.78.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected adult visited a therapist during the past year, given that he or she used non-prescription antidepressants as follows:

Thus, the probability of an adult visited the therapist given that he was using non-prescription antidepressants is 0.46.

4sqrt5

step-by-step explanation:

the base has dimensions of 8 x 4, so the diagonal is 64 + 16 square rooted or 4sqrt5.
