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.

Danielle makes the claim that when the polynomial x^2-3x-10 is divided by x-5, the remainder is 0. Use what you have learned abo
Mumz [18]

Answer:

<h3>Daniel is correct</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial P(x) = x^2-3x-10

To check that the remainder is zero if divided by x - 5, we will first have to equate x - 5 to zero and get x;

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

Then find P(5)

P(5) = 5^2 - 3(5) - 10

P(5) = 25 - 15 - 10

P(5) = 25-25

P(5) = 0

<em>This shows that x - 5 is a factor of the polynomial since P(5) gave us zero according to the factor theorem</em>

At a harvest 16 ears are being picked foot every 18 peppers. If 19 peppers have been picked, how many eats of corn have been pic
ExtremeBDS [4]

The number of eats of corn which have been picked is; 16.9 corns.

<h3>How many eats of corn have been picked?</h3>

According to the question; 16 eats of corn are being picked foot every 18 peppers. In essence, the ratio of corns to peppers is; 16/18.

Hence, it follows that the number of corns which corresponds to 19 peppers been picked can be evaluated as follows;

16/18 = x/19

x = (19×16)/18

x = 16.9 eats of corn.

Answer:

11/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (5 - -6)/(-4 - -9)

   = (5+6)/(-4+9)

    = 11/5
