Question

The video indicates which of the following is an acceptable alternative to washing your hands for 20 seconds with respect to preventing illness? getting a flu shot using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol rinsing with mouthwash that has at least 15% alcohol washing your hands for 10 seconds with water that exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit The video urges people to wash their hands to reduce the likelihood (that is, the probability) of contracting diseases. What does this imply? The probability of contracting a disease is lower if you wash your hands than if you don't wash your hands. That is: P(disease if you wash your hands) < P(disease if you don't wash your hands). If you don't wash your hands, you will contract a disease. That is: P(contracting a disease if you don't wash your hands) = 1. If you contracted a disease, you must have not washed your hands. That is: P(washed your hands if you contracted a disease) = 0. If you wash your hands, you will not contract a disease. That is: P(contracting a disease if you wash your hands) = 0. Suppose a student has had one illness in the last month, b

Answer 1

1. using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol

2. the probability of contracting a disease is lower if you wash your hands than if you don't wash your hands. That is: P (disease if you wash your hands) < P (disease if you don't wash your hands).

Explanation:

1. Noteworthy is the fact that alcohol based hand sanitizers provide good protections to germs, viruses as when one washes his hands with soap for 20 seconds. This was indicated in the video as an acceptable alternative to washing your hands for 20 seconds with respect to preventing illness.

2. Remember, probability implies an assumption of possiblity or likelihood of something happening. Thus, the video's message implies that when people wash their hands it reduces the likelihood (that is, the probability) of contracting diseases. One stands a lower chance of : P (disease if you wash your hands) < P (disease if you don't wash your hands).
