There are 4 pennies. I got this by doing:
40-16=24
16 dimes so far
24/2=12
16 dimes, 12 quarters
16+12=28    40-28=12
12 coins left
Then I drew a diagram and for every 1 penny I drew 2 nickels. In order to get 12 overall in pennies and nickels there has to be 8 nickels and 4 pennies.
 Hope that helped! :)

Answer:

The probability that the result is positive is P=0.04475=4.475%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the events:

D: disease present

ND: disease not present

P: test positive

F: test false

Then, the information we have is:

P(D)=0.005

P(P | D)=0.99

P(P | ND)=0.04

The total amount of positive test are the sum of the positive when the disease is present and the false positives (positive tests when the disease is not present).

P(P)=P(P | D)*P(D)+P(P | ND)*(1-P(D))\\\\P(P)=0.99*0.005+0.04*0.995\\\\P(P)=0.00495+0.0398=0.04475

The probability that the result is positive is P=0.04475.

If 2/3 + p = 1 and 4/5+ q = 3, what is the value of p+q?
inessss [21]

Answer:

p+q = 38/15

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3+p = 1. p = 1 - 2/3

4/5 + q = 3. q = 3 - 4/5

p + q = 1 - 2/3 + 3 - 4/5

-2/3 - 4/5 (common denominator = 15)

4 - 10/15 - 12/15 = 4 - 22/15

4 - 22/15 = (4*15 - 22)/15

= 38/15
