The probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive if the number of employees is 500 is 0.5

Probability

In the statistics concept, the probability refers the possible number of way of happening the particular event.

Given,

A test for a certain drug has a 0.1% probability of producing a false positive.

Here we need to find  the probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive if  a company hired 500 drug-free employees.

In the given question, we have the following values,

=> number of employees = 500

=> Probability of false positive = 0.1%

So, the probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive is calculated as,

=> 500 x 0.1/100

=> 5 x 0.1

=> 0.5

Therefore, the probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive is 0.5.

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to 7.2 ÷ -8.1 ÷ -3.7?
Inessa05 [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

7.2 / (-8.1) / (-3.7) = Positive

A = (-7.2) / (-8.1) / (-3.7) = Negative

B = (-7.2) / (8.1) / (3.7) = Negative

Hence the answer is C, none of the above.

Introduction to addition or subtraction of fractions with different denominator 3/4-1/8
snow_lady [41]
The denominator must be the same, so just think of the LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE, The LCM here is 8, because you can multiply 4 by 2 to get 8.
so when you multiply, you multiply both on the top and on the bottom, so this would be:
3 x 2 / 4 x 2 = 6 / 8
Now you can add or subtract: 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

The total cost to attend the university Daniel wants to attend is going to be $12,000 for the first year.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$395.83

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve, we first need to subtract what we already have, first the scholarship, wich is a set amount being taken from the original amount

12'000 - 2'500 = 9'500

now we have the second subtracting factor, but this one isn't set in stone and defined, it is half of the amount his parents will pay, so what we can do is divide what we have by two, wich will give us 2 halves

9'500 / 2 = 4'750

now all we have to do is divide again but this time for each month that Daniel needs to save up in, in this case 12

4'750 / 12 = 395.83 (note1)

and there we have it, that is the minimum amount Daniel would save each month

note1: (3 goes on for infinity, usualy this is represented by a line above the repeating number, this is the case of a repeating decimal)
