A certain medical test is known to detect 73% of the people who are afflicted with the disease Y. If 10 people with the disease

are administered the test, what is the probability that the test will show that: All 10 have the disease, rounded to four decimal places? At least 8 have the disease, rounded to four decimal places? At most 4 have the disease, rounded to four decimal places?

The probability of an event is the measurement of the chance of that event's occurrence. The probabilities of considered events are:

  • P(At least 8 have the disease) ≈ 0.4378
  • P(At most 4 have the disease)  ≈ 0.0342
<h3 /><h3>How to find that a given condition can be modeled by binomial distribution?</h3>

Binomial distributions consist of n independent Bernoulli trials. Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

Suppose we have random variable X pertaining to a binomial distribution with parameters n and p, then it is written as

X = B(n,p)

The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by

P(X=x)  = ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Since 10 people can be either diseased or not and they be so independent of each other (assuming them to be selected randomly) , thus, we can take them being diseased or not as outputs of 10 independent Bernoulli trials.

Let we say

Success= Probability of a diseased person tagged as diseased by the clinic

Failure = Probability of a diseased person tagged as not diseased by the clinic.

Then,

P(Success) = p = 72% = 0.72 (of a single person)

P(Failure) = q = 1-p = 0.28

Let X be the number of people diagnosed diseased by the clinic out of 10 diseased people. Then we have: X ≈ B(n+10,P=0.73)

Calculating the needed probabilities, we get:

a) P(At leased 8 have disease) = P(X≥8) =P(X=8) + P(X=9) + P(X=10)

P(X≥8) = ^{10}C_8(0.73)^8(0.28)^2+^{10}C_9(0.73)^9(0.27)^1+^{10}C_{10}(0.73)^{10}(0.27)^0

P(X≥8) ≈ 0.2548 + 0.1456 + 0.0374 ≈ 0.4378

b)  P(At most 4 have the disease) = P(X≤4) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)

P (X ≤ 4) =

^{10}C_0(0.73)^0(0.27)^{10}+^{10}{C_1(0.73)^1(0.27)^9+^{10}{C_2(0.73)^2(0.27)^8+^{10}C_3(0.73)&^3(0.27)^7 \\

+^{10}C_4(0.73)^4(0.27)^6

P (X ≤ 4) = 0.000003 + 0.000076+0.00088+0.00604+0.02719

P (X ≤ 4) =  0.0342

Thus,

The probabilities of considered events are:

  • P(At leased 8 have disease) = 0.4378 approx
  • P(At most 4 have the disease)  = 0.0342 approx

108 is 36% of what number? Write and solve a proportion to solve the problem
kolezko [41]

Let the number = x

Then, it would be: (x*36)/100 = 108

x*36 = 10800

x = 10800/36

x = 300

Can you find the missing angles?
Nitella [24]
Every triangle has 180 degrees when you add there angles so you know that they will add up to 180
they are right triangles so the right angle has 90 degrees 
so for the yellow triangle 
90+45+x=180
135+x=180
45=x
we can tell where the purple and yellow triangle touch is 90 so 45+x=90 to find that angle which is 45
and the other one is 45 
so there are two 90 degree angles and three 45 degree angles.
I hope that made sence

Find the volume of the solid under the plane 5x + 9y − z = 0 and above the region bounded by y = x and y = x4.
svp [43]
<span>For the plane, we have z = 5x + 9y

For the region, we first find its boundary curves' points of intersection.
x = x^4 ==> x = 0, 1.

Since x > x^4 for y in [0, 1],

The volume of the solid equals

\int\limits^1_0 { \int\limits_{x^4}^x {(5x+9y)} \, dy } \, dx = \int\limits^1_0 {\left[5xy+ \frac{9}{2} y^2\right]_{x^4}^{x}} \, dx  \\  \\ =\int\limits^1_0 {\left[\left(5x(x)+ \frac{9}{2} (x)^2\right)-\left(5x(x^4)+ \frac{9}{2} (x^4)^2\right)\right]} \, dx  \\  \\ =\int\limits^1_0 {\left(5x^2+ \frac{9}{2} x^2-5x^5- \frac{9}{2} x^8\right)} \, dx =\int\limits^1_0 {\left( \frac{19}{2} x^2-5x^5- \frac{9}{2} x^8\right)} \, dx \\  \\ =\left[ \frac{19}{6} x^3- \frac{5}{6} x^6- \frac{1}{2} x^9\right]^1_0

=\frac{19}{6} - \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{2} =\bold{ \frac{11}{6} \ cubic \ units}</span>
