In the population of young children eligible to participate in a study of whether or not their calcium intake is adequate, 52% are 5 to 10 years of age and 48% are 11 to 13 years of age. For those who are 5 to 10 years of age, 18% have inadequate calcium intake. For those who are 11 to 13 years of age, 57% have inadequate calcium intake. Required:
a. Use letters to define the events of interest in this exercise.
b. Convert the percents given to probabilities of the events you have defined.

(a) A = 5 to 10 years old

B = 11 to 13 years old

C = adequate calcium intake

I = inadequate calcium intake.

(b) P(A) = 0.52, P(B) = 0.48, P(I|A) = 0.18, P(I|B) = 0.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) A = 5 to 10 years old

B = 11 to 13 years old

C = adequate calcium intake

I = inadequate calcium intake.

b) P(A) = 0.52, P(B) = 0.48, P(I|A) = 0.18, P(I|B) = 0.57.

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
