This problem is looking at a two -way data table about a clinical trial for a headache medicine.
00:06
So there were a split in the participants here.
00:11
Some of them got the actual medicine.
00:12
Some of them got a placebo.
00:14
And it measured how long it took for their headaches to go away.
00:18
Either it went away within 45 minutes or it lingered on past that.
00:21
And we want to look at some probabilities.
00:24
So the first one, we're going to look at the probability that a randomly selected study participant was given a placebo.
00:32
So we're looking just at this placebo row.
00:35
Really, we want that total of placebo getters, recipients.
00:41
And for probability, remember, we always divide by the total in the study.
00:47
So 100 divided by 250 and we get 0 .4.
00:56
So there's a 40 % chance that we randomly select a participant and they actually got the placebo.
01:05
Then the probability that their headache went away within 45 minutes.
01:10
So of all these participants, we're going to look at this headache went away column, specifically the total...
