Approximately 4% of all cases of tularemia are resistant to strepto mycin, and 25% of all cases are resistant to gentamycin. Given that a tularemia case is resistant to streptomycin, the probability that it will also be resistant to gentamycin is 90%. (a) What is the probability a randomly selected tularemia patient has a case that is resistant to both streptomycin and gentamycin? (b) Are resistance to streptomycin and resistance to gentamycin independent?
