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.

These two lines create vertical angles, which are congruent. That means angle z = 60 degrees. Since angle z and the angle represented by the expression 6x + 60 are supplementary (they are adjacent angles that add to equal 180 degrees), you can set up the following equation to find x:

6x + 60 + 60 = 180
6x + 120 = 180
6x = 60
x = 10

Answers:
x = 10
z = 60
