Question 970394: Suppose 40% of all adults receive a flu shot. of those who receive a flu shot, 10% still get the flu. of those who do not receive a flu shot, 80% get the flu. Adults get the flu independently of one another. Answer A and B

Receive ---------------- Don't receive
0.40 ---------- -----------------0.60
Get flu;;; Don't get it Get flu;;;;; Don't get it0.
0.10;;;;;;;0.90--------------- 0.80;;;;;;;;;;0.20
Probability of getting flu
0.40*0.10 + (0.60*0.80)
0.04 + 0>48=0.52

52% probability a randomly selected adult will get the flu.
