In July 2005, the journal Annals of Internal Medicine published a report on the reliability of HIV testing. Results of a large s

tudy suggested that among people with HIV, 99.7% of tests conducted were correctly positive, while for people without HIV, 98.5% of tests conducted were correctly negative. A clinic serving an at-risk population offers free HIV testing, believing that 15% of the patients may actually carry HIV. What's the probability that a patient testing negative is truly free of HIV?

The probability that a patient with a negative result is truly HIV-free is 0.999.

<h3>How to find the probability that the negative result is correct?</h3>

To find the probability that confirms that the result of the HIV test is negative, we must take into account the information provided in the information and perform the following mathematical operation.

The probability that No HIV and test positive is:

P = 0.85 * 0.985

P = 0.8372

The probability that HIV and test negative is:

P = 0.15 * 0.003

P = 0.00045

The probability that No HIV and negative test of HIV and negative test is:

P = 0.00045 + 0.8372

P = 0.8377

P = (NOT HIV / Test)

P = 0.8372 / 0.8377

P = 0.999

According to the above, the probability that a patient with a negative result is truly HIV-free is 0.999.

A function is shown in the table.
Anna71 [15]
<span>Given:
x       g(x)
−3      17
−1      −3
0        −4
2        13

The true statement for the given function is:
</span><span>The function is decreasing from x = −3 to x = −1.
</span><span>
As you can see, when x = -3 the corresponding value of the function is 17 but when x = -1 the corresponding value is -3. There is a decrease of 20. </span>→<span>  17 - 20 = -3

John has gross biweekly earnings of $743.61. By claiming 1 more withholding allowance, John would have $19 more in his take home
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Total withholding allowances are 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gross earning of John = $743.61

It is given that 1 withholding allowance = $19

Now we have to find the total number of withholding allowances. Here, the number of withholding allowances can be determined by dividing the total earnings with $19.

Number of withholding allowances = 743.61 / 19 = 39.14 or 39 (round off).

5•x+5 - (5x + 25)
sukhopar [10]
Ok, so you have your equation, 5·x+5-(5x+25).
First, do the prathases, so you have, 5x+5-5x-25.(5·x also means 5x)
Now, you need to combine like terms, and through that the xs cancel out, so you are left with -20 as you answer.
