A study is being carried out in the operating room of the Regional Hospital of Veraguas to establish whether the type of surgery influences the appearance of nosocomial infections in obese patients who underwent a tubular gastrectomy. The 80 patients in the study are divided into two groups, one of whom had had an open surgery (44 patients) and the others a clean surgery. There were 37 patients with infection from open surgery and 14 with infection from clean surgery. If you did not have a nosocomial infection, what is the probability that you had clean surgery? What is the probability that a patient will have clean surgery? What is the probability that a patient will have open surgery? What is the probability of clean surgery or nosocomial infection? What is the probability of no nosocomial infection or clean surgery? If you had clean surgery, what is the probability of a nosocomial infection? If you had clean surgery, what is the probability of no nosocomial infection? If you had open surgery, what is the probability of no nosocomial infection? What is the probability of clean surgery and no nosocomial infection?   What is the probability of no nosocomial infection or open surgery?

Question

A study is being carried out in the operating room of the Regional Hospital of Veraguas to establish whether the type of surgery influences the appearance of nosocomial infections in obese patients who underwent a tubular gastrectomy.

There were 37 patients with infection from open surgery and 14 with infection from clean surgery.
