Glen is being tested for a contagious disease. The test is 99% accurate and in actuality 0.1% of the population has the disease.

Should Glen demand to be retested or start treatment right away? Explain.

I think Glen should demand to be rested than start treatment right away. Although the test is 99% accurate and only .1% of the population has the disease, there is no assurance that he will not get included in the .1% of the population. Also, he should be retested for the sake of reliability.

Answer:

The answer is B. Glen should demand to be retested as the probability that he has the disease given he test positive is only 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for a conditional probability. P(has disease given he tested positive).

This probability is  9 /109  = 0.082. Which means that there is only an 8% chance that he actually has the disease for a test that is 99% accurate.

Therefore, Glen should demand to be retested as the probability that he has the disease given he tested positive is only 0.08

Which values of a and b make the following equation true? (5x7y2)(-4x4y5)=-20xayb
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The values of a and b are a = 11 , b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

* In the exponential functions we have some rules

1-  In multiplication if they have same base we add  the power

# Ex: b^m  ×  b^n  =  b^(m + n) ⇒ b is the base , m and n are the powers

2- In division if they have same base we subtract  the power

# Ex: b^m  ÷  b^n =  b^(m – n) ⇒ b is the base , m and n are the powers

3- If we have power over power we multiply them

# Ex: (b^m)^n = b^(mn) ⇒ b is the base , m and n are the powers

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The equation is (5x^{7}y^{2})(-4x^{4}y^{5})=-20x^{a}y^{2} ⇒ (1)

- At first multiply the coefficients

∵ -4 × 5 = -20

- Multiply the base x

∵ (x^{7})(x^{4})=x^{7+4}=x^{11}

- Multiply the base y

∵ (y^{2})(y^{5})=y^{2+5}=y^{7}

∴ (5x^{7}y^{2})(-4x^{4}y^{5})=-20x^{11}y^{7} ⇒ (2)

- By comparing (1) and (2)

∴ a = 11 and b = 7

* The values of a and b are a = 11 , b = 7

What are the coordinates of B' if the origin is the center of dilation and the scale factor is 1/4?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

B' (1, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the centre of dilatation is the origin then multiply the coordinates of B by the scale factor.

B (4, 8 ) → B' (4 × \frac{1}{4} , 8 × \frac{1}{4} ) → B' (1, 2 )
