Answer :
To determine the probability that a randomly selected adult got the flu, we apply the concept of total probability with the provided data. Let's define the relevant probabilities and compute the required probability step by step.
### Given Data:
1. Probability that an adult received the flu shot ([tex]\(P(\text{Flu shot})\)[/tex]): [tex]\(0.3\)[/tex]
2. Probability that an adult did not receive the flu shot ([tex]\(P(\text{No flu shot})\)[/tex]): [tex]\(1 - 0.3 = 0.7\)[/tex]
3. Probability of getting the flu given that the adult received the flu shot ([tex]\(P(\text{Flu} \mid \text{Flu shot})\)[/tex]): [tex]\(0.2\)[/tex]
4. Probability of getting the flu given that the adult did not receive the flu shot ([tex]\(P(\text{Flu} \mid \text{No flu shot})\)[/tex]): [tex]\(0.65\)[/tex]
### Applying Total Probability:
The total probability of an adult getting the flu can be found using the Law of Total Probability:
[tex]\[ P(\text{Flu}) = P(\text{Flu shot}) \cdot P(\text{Flu} \mid \text{Flu shot}) + P(\text{No flu shot}) \cdot P(\text{Flu} \mid \text{No flu shot}) \][/tex]
### Calculations:
1. Calculate the probability that an adult got the flu and received the flu shot:
[tex]\[ P(\text{Flu shot}) \cdot P(\text{Flu} \mid \text{Flu shot}) = 0.3 \cdot 0.2 = 0.06 \][/tex]
2. Calculate the probability that an adult got the flu and did not receive the flu shot:
[tex]\[ P(\text{No flu shot}) \cdot P(\text{Flu} \mid \text{No flu shot}) = 0.7 \cdot 0.65 = 0.455 \][/tex]
3. Add these two probabilities to get the total probability that an adult got the flu:
[tex]\[ P(\text{Flu}) = 0.06 + 0.455 = 0.515 \][/tex]
Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult got the flu is [tex]\(0.515\)[/tex].
### Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected adult got the flu is [tex]\(0.5150\)[/tex].
