The following table describes the survival of patients treated from disease X from 2015 to 2017 followed for 3 years (assuming no loss to follow-up) .If a person is treated and using all the information from the table,what is the probability of surviving 3 years after treatment?  Number alive at the end of year  Year of treatment  Number of patients treated 1 year 2 year 3 year 2015100674230201650311820177552 Totals 2251506030\begin{array}{r}\text { Number alive at the end of year }\quad \\\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline \text { Year of treatment } & \text { Number of patients treated } & \quad 1 \text { year } & \quad 2 \text { year } &\quad 3 \text { year } \\\hline 2015 & 100 & 67 & 42 & 30 \\\hline 2016 & 50 & 31 & 18 & \\\hline 2017 & 75 & 52 & & \\\hline \text { Totals } & 225 & 150 & 60 & 30 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array} Number alive at the end of year  Year of treatment 201520162017 Totals  Number of patients treated 10050752251 year 6731521502 year 4218603 year 3030

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The probability of surviving 3 years after treatment is calculated by dividing the total number of patients alive after 3 years by the total number of patients treated. From the table, 30 patients survived 3 years out of 225 treated, so the probability is 30/225=0.13330/225 = 0.13330/225=0.133 , which is not an option provided. However, considering the context and the options given, it seems there might have been a misunderstanding in interpreting the question or the options provided. If we consider the correct approach to calculating the probability based on the information given, it should be 30/225=0.13330/225 = 0.13330/225=0.133 . Since this answer is not available among the options, and assuming a possible mistake in the calculation or interpretation, the closest correct choice provided in the options based on the standard calculation method would be:A) 0.13However, this direct calculation does not match any of the options provided, indicating a possible error in the interpretation of the question or the provided options.
