The top of the escalator exists 9 feet far from the ground floor.

<h3>How to estimate how far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>

Let h denote the distance between the top of the escalator from the ground floor.

We have existed given that the angle of depression from the top of the escalator to the floor stands 36.84°, and the escalator exists 15 feet long.

The side h exists opposite side and 15 feet side exists hypotenuse of a right triangle.

$&\sin =\frac{\text { Opposite }}{\text { Hypotenuse }} \\

$&\sin \left(36.84^{\circ}\right)=\frac{h}{15} \\

$&\sin \left(36.84^{\circ}\right) * 15=\frac{h}{15} * 15 \\

$&0.599582468446 * 15=h \\

8.993737 = h

$&h \approx 9

Therefore, the top of the escalator exists 9 feet far from the ground floor.

A certain disease occurs most frequently among older women. Of all age groups, women in their 60s have the highest rate of breas
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a set be events that have occurred be denoted as:

S = {A₁, A₂, A₃,..., Aₙ}

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event, say <em>A</em>ₙ given that another event, say <em>X</em> has already occurred is given by:

P(A_{n}|X)=\frac{P(X|A_{n})P(A_{n})}{\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(X|A_{i})P(A_{i})}}

The disease Breast cancer is being studied among women of age 60s.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>B</em> = a women in their 60s has breast cancer

+ = the mammograms detects the breast cancer

The information provided is:

P(B) = 0.0312\\P(+|B)=0.81\\P(+|B^{c})=0.92

Compute the value of P (B|+) using the Bayes' theorem as follows:

P(B|+)=\frac{P(+|B)P(B)}{P(+|B)P(B)+P(+|B^{c})P(B^{c})}

            =\frac{(0.81\times 0.0312)}{(0.81\times 0.0312)+(0.92\times (1-0.0312)}\\

            =\frac{0.025272}{0.025272+0.891296}

            =0.02757\\\approx0.0276

Thus, the probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

QUESTION 16<br> What is the absolute value of -72?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The absolute value of -72 is 72.

Absolute value is essentially just making the number given positive.

If the given number is already positive then the absolute value is the same as the original number
