Chapter 3: 126SE (page 208)

Patient medical instruction sheets. Physicians and pharmacists sometimes fail to inform patients adequately about the proper application of prescription drugs and about the precautions to take in order to avoid potential side effects. One method of increasing patients鈥� awareness of the problem is for physicians to provide patient medication instruction (PMI) sheets. The American Medical Association, however, has found that only 20% of the doctors who prescribe drugs frequently distribute PMI sheets to their patients. Assume that 20% of all patients receive the PMI sheet with their prescriptions and that 12% receive the PMI sheet and are hospitalized because of a drug-related problem. What is the probability that a person will be hospitalized for a drug-related problem given that the person received the PMI sheet?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that a person will be hospitalized for a drug-related problem given that the person received the PMI is 0.6.

Step by step solution

01

Important formula

The formula for probability isP=favourableoutcomestotaloutcomes

02

Find the probability that a person will be hospitalized for a drug-related problem given that the person received the PMI.

HereP鈥�(鈥�T鈭�D鈥�)=0.12 andP(T)=0.2

PD|T=P(T鈭�D)P(T)=0.120.2=0.6

Therefore, the probability that a person will be hospitalized for a drug-related problem given that the person received the PMI is 0.6.

a.Are A and B mutually exclusive?

b.Are A and B independent?

A number between 1 and 10, inclusive, is randomly chosen, and the events A and B are defined as follows:

A: [The number is even.]

B: [The number is less than 7.]

a. Identify the sample points in the event A鈭�B.

b. Identify the sample points in the event A鈭�B.

d. Which expression represents the event that the number is both even and less than 7?

Advertising proposals. The manager of an advertising department has asked her creative team to propose six new ideas for an advertising campaign for a major client. She will choose three of the six proposals to present to the client. The proposals were named A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively.

a. In how many ways can the manager select the three proposals? List the possibilities.

b. It is unlikely that the manager will randomly select three of the six proposals, but if she does, what is the probability that she will select proposals A, D, and E?

Characteristics of a new product. The long-run success of a business depends on its ability to market products with superior characteristics that maximize consumer satisfaction and that give the firm a competitive advantage (Kotler & Keller, Marketing Management, 2015). Ten new products have been developed by a food-products firm. Market research has indicated that the 10 products have the characteristics described by the following Venn diagram:

  1. Write the event that a product possesses all the desired characteristics as an intersection of the events defined in the Venn diagram. Which products are contained in this intersection?
  2. If one of the 10 products were selected at random to be marketed, what is the probability that it would possess all the desired characteristics?
  3. Write the event that the randomly selected product would give the firm a competitive advantage or would satisfy consumers as a union of the events defined in the Venn diagram. Find the probability of this union.
  4. Write the event that the randomly selected product would possess superior product characteristics and satisfy consumers. Find the probability of this intersection.
  5. Two of the 10 products will be selected for an ad campaign. How many different pairs of products are possible?

Chance of winning at 鈥渃raps.鈥� A version of the dice game鈥渃raps鈥� is played in the following manner. A player starts by rolling two balanced dice. If the roll (the sum of the two numbers showing on the dice) results in a 7 or 11, the player wins. If the roll results in a 2 or a 3 (called craps), the player loses. For any other roll outcome, the player continues to throw the dice until the original roll outcome recurs (in which case the player wins) or until a 7 occurs

(in which case the player loses).

a. What is the probability that a player wins the game on the first roll of the dice?

b. What is the probability that a player loses the game on the first roll of the dice?

c. If the player throws a total of 4 on the first roll, what is the probability that the game ends (win or lose) on the next roll?
