Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median will be the middle number - that is the 11th.

The first quartile will be the middle value of the first ten numbers.

That is the mean of the 5th and 6th number.

What is the least common denominator (LCD) for these fractions? 2/7 and 9/10

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7 and 10 = 70, This is the correct answer because 7 times 10 equals 70, and 10 times 7 equals 70 too, so 70 is the LCD

7 and 10 = 1, This is impossible because anything multiplied by 7 naturally does not get 1 as a answer, including 10 too. X

7 and 10 = 10, Only 10 times 1 equals 10, but 7 a natural whole number does not equal 10. X

7 and 10 = 35, Only 7 times 5 equals 35, but 10 times a whole number does not equal 35. X

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event

The probability that a person is sick is: 0.008
The probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick is 0.9833
The probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick is: 0.9899
The probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive is: 0.4403
The probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative is: 0.9998
A 99% accurate test is a correct test

(a) Probability that a person is sick

From the table, we have:

$\mathbf{Sick = 59+1 = 60}$

So, the probability that a person is sick is:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Sick}{Total}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{60}{7500}}$

$\mathbf{Pr = 0.008}$

The probability that a person is sick is: 0.008

(b) Probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick

From the table, we have:

$\mathbf{Positive\ and\ Sick=59}$

So, the probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick is:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Positive\ and\ Sick}{Sick}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{59}{60}}$

$\mathbf{Pr = 0.9833}$

The probability that a test is positive, given that the person is sick is 0.9833

(c) Probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick

From the table, we have:

$\mathbf{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick=7365}$

$\mathbf{Not\ Sick = 75 + 7365 = 7440}$

So, the probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick is:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick}{Not\ Sick}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{7365}{7440}}$

$\mathbf{Pr = 0.9899}$

The probability that a test is negative, given that the person is not sick is: 0.9899

(d) Probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive

From the table, we have:

$\mathbf{Positive\ and\ Sick=59}$

$\mathbf{Positive=59 + 75 = 134}$

So, the probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive is:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Positive\ and\ Sick}{Positive}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{59}{134}}$

$\mathbf{Pr = 0.4403}$

The probability that a person is sick, given that the test is positive is: 0.4403

(e) Probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative

From the table, we have:

$\mathbf{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick=7365}$

$\mathbf{Negative = 1+ 7365 = 7366}$

So, the probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative is:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Negative\ and\ Not\ Sick}{Negative}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{7365}{7366}}$

$\mathbf{Pr = 0.9998}$

The probability that a person is not sick, given that the test is negative is: 0.9998

(f) When a test is 99% accurate

The accuracy of test is the measure of its sensitivity, prevalence and specificity.

So, when a test is said to be 99% accurate, it means that the test is correct, and the result is usable; irrespective of whether the result is positive or negative.
