Imagine that you have developed a genetic test to detect the dominant allele (A) that cause a rare genetic condition. As with mo

st clinical tests, it isn't perfect. When a person does have the dominant allele (Aa or especially rarely AA) your test detects it 100% of the time. But, 0.5% of people who are homozygous recessive (aa) also test positve by your test. Assume 1 out of every 100 people in a population has the dominant allele (Aa or AA).
What percentage of the population will give a positive test?

(A) 0.495%,
(B) 1.495%,
(C) 1.000%,
(D) 99.000%,
(E) 98.505%,
(F) 99.505%

Answer:

Correct option: (B) 1.495%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = the test is positive.

<em>A</em> = a person with the dominant allele

The information given are:

P(X|A)=1\\P (X|A^{c})=0.005\\P(A)=0.01

According to the law of total probability the probability of an event <em>A, </em>conditional upon the occurrence of another event <em>B</em> is:

P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B^{c})P(B^{c})

Use this law to compute the probability of person having a positive result as follows:

 P(X)=P(X|A)P(A)+P(X|A^{c})P(A^{c})\\=(1\times0.01)+(0.005\times(1-0.01))\\=0.01+0.00495\\=0.01495

The percentage of positive result is: 0.01495 × 100 = 1.495%.

Thus, the percentage of the population will give a positive test is 1.495%.

Factor completely 12x4 + 6x3 + 18x2.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

B)3x^2 (4*x^2 + 2x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the Greatest common factor of the given expression.

12x^4 + 6x^3 + 18x^2

The above expression can be written as .

= 2*2*3*x^4 + 2*3*x^3 + 2*3*3*x^2

Here 3x^2 is prime factor


Step 2: Let's take out the 3x^{2} and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

= 3x^2 (2*2*x^2 + 2x + 2*3)

= 3x^2 (4x^2 + 2x + 6)

Therefore, the answer is B)3x^2 (4*x^2 + 2x + 6)

Thank you.
