Suppose a certain drug test is 85% accurate, meaning that if a person is a user, the result is positive 85% of the time, and if

she or he isn't a user, it's negative 85% of the time. Assume that 5% of all people are drug users.
What is the sensitivity of this test?

Answer:

29.411 %  of the result is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

This test's sensitivity is low.

Suppose we have 5 drug users and 85% of the test is accurate meaning that 5* 0.85= 4.25 people are drug users which is true.

But if work for the non users than 5% people being drug users means 95 people are non drug users out of the hundred.

And 85 % accuracy would give  95* 0.85= 80.75 which is very high.

And out of the 80.75 * 15%= 12.11 only 12 are positive .

The results give us  5 out of 17  true possibilities

or 5/17 *100= 29.411 %  of the result is true.

olchik [2.2K]

When you express the equation of a line in the form y=mx+q, the coefficient m is exactly the slope of the line.

So, let's manipulate the equation to fulfill our goal:

12 = 4x-6y \iff 6y = 4x-12 \iff y = \dfrac{4}{6}x - 2 \iff y = \dfrac{2}{3}x-2

So, the slope is 2/3

How do I show my work if these are parallel or not?
JulijaS [17]

You can determine if things are parallel if the lines will eventually meet or not. M and N are one line while P and Q are also a line. Therefore, we can say P is one line while M is also one line. The answer would be is that they are parallel, the two lines will not crash with one another. To show your work as if they are parallel, you can continue the lines down and write a note saying they won't collide or you just say they won't collide and are parallel lines.

How do I do this question
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Join OB.

∠A=∠A  (common)

\frac{AP}{AO} =\frac{\frac{1}{2} AO}{AO} =\frac{1}{2} \\\frac{AQ}{AB} =\frac{\frac{1}{2} AB}{AB} =\frac{1}{2} \\\frac{AP}{AO} =\frac{AQ}{AB}

∴ ΔAPO and ΔAOB are similar.

\frac{PQ}{OB} =\frac{1}{2} \\

∠P=∠O

∠Q=∠B

So PQ║OB

Similarly RS║OB

∴PQ║RS
