slader Suppose that 8% of all bicycle racers use steroids, that a bicyclist who uses steroids tests positive for steroids 96% of

the times, and that a bicyclist who does not use steroids tests positive for steroids 9% of the time. What is the probability that a randomly selected bicyclist who tests positive for steroids actually uses steroids?

Answer:

P = 0.4812

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to use here two expressions and then do the calculations.

The first one is the conditional probability which is:

P(B|A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)   (1)

The second expression to use has relation with the Bayes's theorem which is the following:

P(D|C) = P(C|D)*P(D) / P(C|D)*P(D) + P(C|d)*P(d)   (2)

Now, the expression (2) is the one that we will use to calculate the probability of a selected random bicyclist who tests positive for steroids.

So, in this case, we will call C for positive and D that is using steroids and d is the opposite of d, which means do not use steroids.

Then, the probabilities are the following:

P(D) = 8% or 0.08

P(C|D) = 96% or 0.96

P(C|d) = 9% or 0.09

P(d) = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

With these data, let's replace in expression 2

P(D|C) = 0.96 * 0.08 /0.96 * 0.08 + 0.09*0.92

P(D|C) = 0.0768 / 0.1596

P(D|C) = 0.4812 or 48.12%

Solve the system using elimination.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x+7y=22,

x-7y=-17

We need to use elimination method to solve the and simplify the equations.

Solution;

Let x+7y=22 ⇒ equation 1

Also Let 4x-7y=-17⇒ equation 2

Now by solving the equation we get;

first we will Add equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(x+7y)+(4x-7y)=22+(-17)\\\\x+7y+4x-7y=22-17\\\\5x=5

Now Dividing  both side by 5 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{5}{5}\\\\x=1

Now Substituting the vale of x in equation 1 we get;

x+7y=22\\\\1+7y=22

subtracting both side by 1 using subtraction property of equality we get;

1+7y-1=22-1\\\\7y=21

Now Dividing  both side by 7 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{21}{7}\\\\y=3

Hence we can say that, After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).

Monte carlo simulation generates many outcomes that are organized into a frequency distribution.
nalin [4]

The statement is True, Monte Carlo simulation generate many outcomes that are organized into a frequency distribution.

Monte Carlo simulation

  • When the possibility of random variables is available, a Monte Carlo simulation is a model that is used to forecast the likelihood of a variety of events. Monte Carlo simulations assist in illuminating how risk and uncertainty affect forecasting and prediction models

  • The potential accuracy of a Monte Carlo simulation is roughly 4%, which is still higher than the 1% accuracy stated by SAMPLE, even for a random function with a 3 error factor.
