Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Choice A.

Explanation:

Begin by calculating the probability of side effects for adults and children.

P(side effects) = # of those with side effects / total.

Therefore:

P(side effects | child) = 20/50 = 0.40.

P(side effects | adult) = 6/50 = 0.12.

The answer choice that correctly shows the probabilities of adults and children having side effects is choice A. The values are equivalent, and the statement is valid: Children have a much greater chance of having side effects than adults because 0.40 > 0.12.
