The probability that a person gets well is 0.35

The probability that the person was cured for medicine is 0.8571

How to elaborate the problem ?

Let, 1000 people have the particular disease who attend the medical trial.

Half of them are given exact medicine , i.e. 500 people

Half of them are given sugar pills, i.e. another 500 people

The people who get medicine, 60% of them are curing.

So, 60% of 500 = 0.6 × 500 = 300 people cured with medicine

And the remaining 200 people remains ill.

Now, who get sugar pills, 10% of them are curing.

So, 10% of 500 = 0.1 × 500 = 50 people cured with medicine.

And remaining 450 people remains ill.

How to find required probabilities ?

The total number of people cured = 300+50=350

∴ The probability that a person gets well = 350/1000 = 0.35 =35%

Again, Number of people cured with medicine = 300

So, Probability that the person was cured for medicine = 300/350 =0.8571(approx) = 85.71%
