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.

Nate is constructing a tangent line to a circle he drew from a point outside the circle. Once he has the circle and the point is
Tema [17]

Answer:

The next step is to find the point on the circle which makes a tangent line that passes through the outside point.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent line to a circle is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point. You need two points to draw a line. You already have one point and the circle, then you need the other point, which lies on the circle. These two points have to lie on the same line. Notice that there are two possible tangent lines.

How do I solve 3|x+10|=6
lianna [129]

Answer:

x=-8 x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 3 to both sides

|x+10|=2

Set x+10 to equal 2 and -2

x+10=2 x+10=-2

solve both equations

x=-8/-12

Multiply these binomials using foil method (b+3)(b-9)
sleet_krkn [62]
FOIL stands for first, outer, inner, and last.
So, you multiply the first terms together, the outer terms together, the inner terms together, and then the last terms together.
(b+3)(b-9)
b^2-9b+3b-27 Then simplify
b^2-6b-27

Find the area of the quadrilateral whose vertices
Karolina [17]

Answer:

How do we calculate the area of this quadrilateral using the coordinates of the four vertices? The answer is simple. We divide the quadrilateral in two triangles (using either of the diagonals), calculate the (positive value of) the areas of each triangle, and add these values to obtain the total area.
