Tju [1.3M]3 years ago

Answer:

(C) 32

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of Permutation and Combination, not probability.

This clarification is given because most questions like this are on Probability and Statistics.

The researcher has recruited 8  participants and must divide them into two groups of 4 people each.

So there's:

GROUP A - Placebo Group

GROUP B - Experimental Group

Since the experiment is on humans - distinct objects - they will have distinct identities. Assume the 8 participants are lined up according to identities 1,2,3,4,  5,6,7,8

[2+2+2+2  +2+2+2+2] × 2 = 16×2 = 32

A certain virus infects one in every 400 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 90% of the time if the
Ahat [919]

Answer:Given:

P(A)=1/400

P(B|A)=9/10

P(B|~A)=1/10

By the law of complements,

P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400

By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(B|A)*P(A)+P(B|A)*P(~A)

=(9/10)*(1/400)+(1/10)*(399/400)

=51/500

Note: get used to working in fraction when doing probability.

(a) Find P(A|B):

By Baye's Theorem,

P(A|B)

=P(B|A)*P(A)/P(B)

=(9/10)*(1/400)/(51/500)

=3/136

(b) Find P(~A|~B)

We know that

P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400

P(~B)=1-P(B)=133/136

P(A∩B)

=P(B|A)*P(A) [def. of cond. prob.]

=9/10*(1/400)

=9/4000

P(A∪B)

=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

=1/400+51/500-9/4000

=409/4000

P(~A|~B)

=P(~A∩~B)/P(~B)

=P(~A∪B)/P(~B)

=(1-P(A∪B)/(1-P(B)) [ law of complements ]

=(3591/4000) ÷ (449/500)

=3591/3592

The results can be easily verified using a contingency table for a random sample of 4000 persons (assuming outcomes correspond exactly to probability):

===....B...~B...TOT

..A . 9 . . 1 . . 10

.~A .399 .3591 . 3990

Tot .408 .3592 . 4000

So P(A|B)=9/408=3/136

P(~A|~B)=3591/3592

As before.

Step-by-step explanation: its were the answer is

Given P(x) = 2x3+ 3x2- x + 4, find P(0) and P(-2).
pshichka [43]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  P(0) = 4

  P(-2) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value where the variable is and do the arithmetic.

  P(0) = 2·0³ +3·0² -0 +4

  P(0) = 4

__

  P(-2) = 2·(-2)³ +3·(-2)² -(-2) +4 = 2(-8) +3(4) +2 +4

  P(-2) = -16 +12 +2 +4

  P(-2) = 2
