<span>a) The cell corresponding to a positive diagnosis when the person has antibodies present as well as the cell for a negative diagnosis when the person has no antibodies present are the cells representing a CORRECT diagnosis.
</span>
The cell corresponding to a negative diagnosis when you actually have antibodies present is called a FALSE NEGATIVE and is considered as a TYPE II error.


The cell corresponding to a positive diagnosis when you actually don't have antibodies present is called a FALSE POSITIVE and is considered as a TYPE I error.

For the tree diagram for the questions below, refer to the picture attached.

b) To know the probability that a person without HIV will be diagnosed positive (false positive), we just trace the tree diagram from population to "antibodies not present" to "positive". The tree diagram will give us a value of 0.00588.

ANSWER: 
The probability of a false positive is 0.00588 or 0.588%.

c) We do the same thing as the previous subproblem to determine the probability that a person with HIV will be diagnosed as negative. We trace the tree diagram from population to "antibodies present" to "negative". The tree diagram will give us a value of 0.003.

ANSWER: 
The probability of a false negative is 0.003 or 0.3%.

d) Same thing for this subproblem. We trace the tree diagram from population to "antibodies present" to "positive" to know that the value is 0.01997.

ANSWER: 
The probability that a person with HIV will be diagnosed as positive is 0.01997 or 1.997%.

Find the given term 11, -33,99 9th term
kvv77 [185]
Assuming the sequence goes on like this 11,-33,99,-297,891,...,
its general formula is a_n=-11\cdot(-1)^n\cdot3^{n-1}

So, the 9th term is
a_9=-11\cdot(-1)^9\cdot3^{9-1}=-11\cdot(-1)\cdot6561=72171

Which of the following square root of -80
Marta_Voda [28]

You can factor -80 as

-80 = (-1)\cdot 16 \cdot 5

So, we have

\sqrt{-80} = \sqrt{(-1)\cdot 16 \cdot 5}

The square root of a product is the product of the square roots:

\sqrt{-80} = \sqrt{(-1)}\sqrt{16}\sqrt{5}

Since i^2=-1 and 4^2=16, we have

\sqrt{-80} = 4i\sqrt{5}
