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.

I need help with math it’s urgent thanks
Artemon [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

 2x + 3y =  11      ------------(i)

-4x + 2y = 2        ------------(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 2.

(i)*2              4x + 6y = 22

(ii)               <u>-4x  + 2y = 2</u>                  {Now add and x will be eliminated}

                            8y = 24

y= 24/8

y = 3

Plugin the value of y in equation (i)

2x + 3*3 = 11

2x + 9 = 11

2x = 11-9

2x = 2

x = 2/2

x = 1
