Compare the probability that an adult has side effects with the probability
that a child has side effects. Draw a conclusion based on your results.
O A. P(side effectslchild) = 0.40
P(side effectsladult) = 0.12
Conclusion: Children have a much greater chance of having side
effects than adults.
O B. P(side effectslchild) = 0.40
Pside effectsladult) =0.12
Conclusion: Children have a much lower chance of having side
effects than adults.
OC. P(side effectslchild) = 0.20
P(side effectsladult) =0.60
Conclusion: Children have a much greater chance of having side
effects than adults.
OD. P(side effects|child) =0.20
P(side effectsladult) =0.60
Conclusion: Children have a much lower chance of having side
effects than adults. No
