You would start graphing with the y intercept which is -1 you then graph the slope -2/3x you want to start from -1 and then count 2 squares down and three across the get the next point. To get point the other direction you count two up and three left. It should look something like this when your done

A common blood test performed on pregnant women to screen for chromosome abnormalities in the fetus measures the human chorionic

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of women who are tested, get a negative test result is 0.82.

(b) The proportion of women who get a positive test result are actually carrying a fetus with a chromosome abnormality is 0.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event <em>E</em> $_{i}$ , of the sample space <em>S,</em> given that another event <em>A</em> has already occurred is:

$P(E_{i}|A)=\frac{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}{\sum\liits^{n}_{i=1}{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}}$

The law of total probability states that, if events <em>E</em>₁, <em>E</em>₂, <em>E</em>₃... are parts of a sample space then for any event <em>A</em>,

$P(A)=\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(A|B_{i})P(B_{i})}$

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = fetus have a chromosome abnormality.

<em>Y</em> = the test is positive

The information provided is:

$P(X)=0.04\\P(Y|X)=0.90\\P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=0.85$

Using the above the probabilities compute the remaining values as follows:

$P(X^{c})=1-P(X)=1-0.04=0.96$

$P(Y^{c}|X)=1-P(Y|X)=1-0.90=0.10$

$P(Y|X^{c})=1-P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=1-0.85=0.15$

(a)

Compute the probability of women who are tested negative as follows:

Use the law of total probability:

$P(Y^{c})=P(Y^{c}|X)P(X)+P(Y^{c}|X^{c})P(X^{c})$

$=(0.10\times 0.04)+(0.85\times 0.96)\\=0.004+0.816\\=0.82$

Thus, the proportion of women who are tested, get a negative test result is 0.82.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X|Y) as follows:

Use the Bayes' theorem:

$P(X|Y)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X^{c})P(X^{c})}$

$=\frac{(0.90\times 0.04)}{(0.90\times 0.04)+(0.15\times 0.96)}$

$=0.20$

Thus, the proportion of women who get a positive test result are actually carrying a fetus with a chromosome abnormality is 0.20.

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below?

Julli [10]

Answer:

B. and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set the polynomial equal to zero:

x² + 5x + 7 = 0

2. Plug the given values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(7) } }{2(1)}$

3. Solve the square root:

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{25-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{25-28} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{-3} }{2(1)}$

4. Simplify the rest:

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{-3} }{2}$

5. Separate the solutions:

$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{-3} }{2} , x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{-3} }{2}$

Thus, options B and C are the answers.

hope this helps!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I WILLG IVE EVERYTHING!

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>AB is around 33.18</h2><h2>BC is around 15.58 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

adjacent/hypotenuse is sine:

cos(28 degrees)=29.3/x

cos(28 degrees)*x=29.3

x=29.3/cos(28 degrees)

x=around 33.18

AB is around 33.18

opposite/adjacent is tangent

tan(28 degrees)=x/29.3

tan(28 degrees)*29.3=x

x=tan(28 degrees)*29.3

x=around 15.58

BC is around 15.58
