Out of 1,000 patients, 570 are in the high risk group for developing epilepsy and the rest are in the low risk group. If the number of high risk patients who develop epilepsy is 71 and the number of low risk patients who develop epilepsy is 6 then what is the probability that a high risk patient would develop epilepsy?

Solution

Out of 1,000 patients, 570 are in the high risk group for developing epilepsy and the rest are in the low risk group. If the number of high risk patients who develop epilepsy is 71 and the number of low risk patients who develop epilepsy is 6 then what is the probability that a high risk patient would develop epilepsy?

probability that a high risk patient would develop epilepsy

=71/570
