It is estimated that approximately 8.26% Americans are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a certain diagnostic evaluation for

diabetes will correctly diagnose 94.5% of all adults over 40 with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 3.5% of all adults over 40 without diabetes as having the disease. a) Find the probability that a randomly selected adult over 40 does not have diabetes, and is diagnosed as having diabetes (such diagnoses are called "false positives").

Answer:

0.032109

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information

the estimate of those afflicted with diabetes = 0.0826

the estimate of those that are not afflicted with diabetes = 1 - 0.0826

= 0.9174

From adult with 40

Pr (correct diagnoses) = 0.945

Pr(incorrect diagnoses) = 0.035

The objective that the probability of a randomly selected adult which is over 40 and does not have diabetes, and is diagnosed as having diabetes (false positive) is =  0.9174 × 0.035

= 0.032109

One leg of a right triangle has a length of 55 m. the other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers. find these lengths
noname [10]

First let us assign the variables for the two lengths:

x = 1st integer

x + 1 = 2nd consecutive integer = the hypotenuse of the right triangle

The 2nd consecutive integer should be the hypotenuse since its value should be highest among the three sides.

 

Now using the hypotenuse formula we calculate for x:

(x + 1)^2 = 5^2 + x^2

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25 + x^2

2x + 1 = 25

2x = 24

x = 12 m

 

So other integer is

 x + 1 = 13 m

 

Therefore the other sides are 12 m and 13 m.

how many pairs of opposite sides are parallel in a trapezoid? how is this different from a parallelogram?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

one pair of parallel sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid has just one pair of sides parallel.

The parallel sides if a trapezoid forms its base.

A parallelogram on the other hand, has two pairs of sides parallel.

The pair of parallel sides in the trapezoid are not congruent while the pair of parallel sides in a parallelogram are congruent.
