What is the probability that the person will be hospitalized


Physicians and pharmacists sometimes fail to inform patients ade- quately about the proper application of prescription drugs and the pre- cautions to take in order to avoid potential side effects. One method of increasing patients' awareness of the problem is for physicians to provide Patient Medication Instruction (PMI) sheets. The American Medical Association, however, has found that only 20% of the doctors who frequently prescribe drugs distribute PMI sheets to their patients. Assume that 20% of all patients receive the PMI sheet with their pre- scriptions and that 12% receive the PMI sheet and are hospitalized because of a drug-related problem. What is the probability that the person will be hospitalized for a drug-related problem, given that the person has received the PMI sheet?
