Given the information that 40% of people brush their teeth at least once a day, and among these individuals, 5% have a tooth decay each year, while those who don't brush their teeth once a day have a 10% chance of having a tooth decay each year. If a person is found to have a tooth decay in a year, what is the probability that they don't brush their teeth once a day

Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010).

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 , inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
