A study investigates the effectiveness of a new flu vaccine.   The one-year study enlists several thousand volunteers.  40% of the volunteers are diagnosed with flu during the course of the study, and 60% are not diagnosed with flu. Of the participants who are diagnosed with flu during the study, 20% had gotten the vaccine.  Overall, 45% of participants had been assigned to the vaccine condition in the study.  What proportion of participants did not contract flu and had gotten the vaccine?

Given the parametric equations . Eliminate the parameter and write the corresponding rectangular equation. Do not use inverse trigonometric functions in your answer. x=2cos⁡(t),y=3sin⁡(t)−2{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”x = 2\cos(t),\, y = 3\sin(t)-2″}  

Paul draws one playing card out of a standard poker deck and observes its value (2 though Ace) and its color (red or black).  He then replaces the card, shuffles the deck, and again draws a card, observing its value and color. Let event A =  The first card is an Ace,  and let event B = the second card is Red. Events A and B are:
