19 In order to ensure optimal health a lab technician needs to feed the rabbits on a daily diet containing
a minimum of 24grams of fat, 36grams of carbohydrates and 4grams of protein. Rather than order
rabbit food that is custom blended it is cheaper to order food X and food Y and blend them for an
optimal use. One packet of food X contains 6grams of fat ,12 grams of carbohydrates ,2 grams of
proteins and costs Sh [Link] one packet of food Y contains 12grams of fat,12 grams of

20 At the Kenya medical research institute a new drug is being tried. A sample of eighty sick rats is
being used. Sixty of these rats are given drugs and the rest are not. A half of those given drugs are
put on a high calorie diet while three quarters of those who are not given drugs were put on the
same diet. For the ones who are treated and put on a high calorie diet the probability of dying is 0.1
and 0.2 if not put on a high calorie diet. For the ones who are not treated and put on a high calorie
diet the probability of dying is 0.4 and 0.6 if not put on a high calorie diet.
