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.

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.

<h3>Answer:  B) real number</h3>

Explanation:

Something like 3.5 = 7/2 is a rational number because its a fraction of two integers.

While on the other hand, the constant pi = 3.14159... is irrational because we cannot write pi as a fraction of two integers. We can get approximations like 22/7, but not a perfect exact match.

Both types of numbers, rational and irrational, are under the umbrella of the real number system. Any real number is a string of decimal digits. Sometimes it might be a whole number, but fractional values can be included as well. The decimal number may terminate, or it may repeat, or it may go on forever without a pattern.

In short, any number you can think of is a real number assuming your teacher hasn't covered complex numbers (or imaginary numbers) just yet.
