<u>Answer:</u>

Option E. The probability of someone not using steroids testing positive for steroids is \bold9.40000000000001\%\bold.

<u>Solution: </u>

The drug company advertises test for steroids is 92.1\%

It has a true negative effectiveness of 90.6\%

The probability of someone not using steroids testing positive for steroids is (100\% - 90.6\%) = 9.4\%

So the Answer is E. The probability of someone not using steroids testing positive for steroids is 9.40000000000001\%.

Fine the exact distance between the line 6x-y=-3 and the point (6,2). Show your work. Explain your answer.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

\sqrt{37} units

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a perpendicular from point (6,2) on the line 6x - y = - 3, then we have to find the length of the perpendicular.  

We know the formula of length of perpendicular from a point (x_{1}, y_{1} ) to the straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by  

\frac{|ax_{1} + by_{1} +c |}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}

Therefore, in our case the perpendicular distance is  

\frac{|6(6)-2+3|}{\sqrt{6^{2} +(-1)^{2} } } = \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} } = \sqrt{37}  units. (Answer)
