Researchers are conducting experiments to determine the role of alcohol in the development of depression. after the study is complete, they determine that the relative risk of developing depression is 1.55 with a 95 % ci of 1.2 -1.9. each group is then divided into nonsmokers and smokers. the relative risk for the nonsmokers is 1.12 with a 95% ci of 0.87-1.37. the relative risk for the smokers is 1.7 with a 95 % cl of 1.5-1.9. what type of bias may affect this study? a. procedure bias b. recall bias c. selection bias d. confounding e. lead-time bias

Aking and his army will attempt to capture a fortress. the left and right flanks break off from the main group to attack the west and east guard towers. suppose the left flank has a 60% chance of success and the right flank has a 75% chance of success, independently of one another. if both flanks capture their respective targets, then the king has a 98% chance of successfully taking the fort. if, however, only the left flank captures its tower, the king has an 80% chance of success; if only the right flank succeeds, the king has a 50% chance. if both flanks fail, then the king's chance of capturing the fort drops to 20%. it turns out the king captures the fort. what is the probability that one, and only one, flank was successful (either the left, or the right, but not both)? (round your answer to 3 decimal places)
