It is estimated that 3% of the athletes competing in a large tournament are users of an illegal drug to enhance performance. The

test for this drug is 90% accurate. What is the probability that an athlete who tests positive is actually a user? .3611 .2771 .2177 .2893

Answer:

probability that an athlete who tests positive is actually a user

= 0.2177

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we create a table that relates the test results and the status of the athletes.

We arbitrarily take a sample of 10000 atheletes to work with whole numbers.

Out of that, 300 are users (3% on the average), and 9700 are non users.

Of the users, 270 users will test positive (90% accuracy) and 30 will test negative.

Similarly, of the non-users, 970 will test positive, and 8730 will test negative.

This gives 1240 positive tests, and 8760 negative tests.

Of the 1240 who test positive, 270 are actually users.

Therefore the probability of the positive test results are actually users

= 270/1240 = 0.2177

What is the factored form of a2 – 121?
Flura [38]

Answer:

The factored form a^2-121 is (a+11)(a-11).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a^2-121

We have to write the given expression in factored form.

Factor form of an expression is writing the expression in lower power form such that the product of factors given the original expression

Consider the given expression  a^2-121.

We know the algebraic identity x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)

Here a^2-121=a^2-(11)^2.

Comparing with identity stated above , we have x= a , b = 11 , thus, we get

a^2-(11)^2=(a+11)(a-11).

Thus, the factored form a^2-121 is (a+11)(a-11).

Sindrei [870]
Equal number at each price?
does that mean there were an equal number of 4 dollar as 5 dollar tickets?

alrighty

so 4+5=9

450/9=50

50 four dollar tickets
50 five dollar tickets

Which of the following represents the area of a rectangle whose length is 5x − 3 and whose width is x + 7?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer : option C, 5x2 + 32x − 21

In the rectangle, the length = 5x - 3 and width = x + 7

We know the formula for area of rectangle = length * width

Area of rectangle = (5x-3)(x+7)

WE multiply it using FOIL method

F - First terms, 5x * x = 5x^2

O- Outer terms, 5x * 7 = 35x

I - Inner terms, -3 * x= -3x

L - Last terms, -3 * 7 = -21

Now we add all the terms

5x^2 +35x -3x -21

combine like terms

5x^2 +32x -21

So area of a rectangle = 5x^2 +32x -21
