Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all

ergic to penicillin, Nathan had a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate. What is the probability that Nathan is allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it?

Let events
A=Nathan has allergy
~A=Nathan does not have allergy
T=Nathan tests positive
~T=Nathan does not test positive

We are given
P(A)=0.75  [ probability that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98  [probability of testing positive given Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]

We want to calculate probability that Nathan is allergic AND tests positive
P(T n A)

From definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A) 
substitute known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
solving for P(T n A) 
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735

Using derivatives, it is found that regarding the tangent line to the function, we have that:

  • The slope is of 962.
  • The equation of the line is y = 962x - 5119.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The slope of the line tangent to a function f(x) at x = x' is given by f'(x'). In this problem, the function is given by:

f(x) = 5x³ + 2x + 1.

The derivative is given by:

f'(x) = 15x² + 2.

Hence the slope at x = 8 is:

m = f'(8) = 15(8)² + 2 = 962.

The line goes through the point (8,f(8)), hence:

f(8) = 5(8)³ + 2(8) + 1 = 2577.

Hence:

y = 962x + b

2577 = 962(8) + b

b = -5119.

Hence the equation is:

y = 962x - 5119.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average scores s (on a 100 point scale) for the students can be modeled by

s = 75 - 6 In(t + 1), 0 < t < 12

where t is the time in months.

a) Since the students were given an exam and then retested monthly with equivalent exams, then,

For the original exam, t = 0

Therefore,

s = 75 - 6 In(0 + 1) = 75 - 6 In1

s = 75 - 6 × 0 = 75

b) the average score after 4 months, t = 4

Therefore,

s = 75 - 6 In(4 + 1) = 75 - 6 In5

s = 75 - 9.66 = 65.34

c) s = 60

Therefore,

60 = 75 - 6 In(t + 1)

6 In(t + 1) = 75 - 60 = 15

In(t + 1) = 15/6 = 2.5

t + 1 = e^2.5 = 12.18

t = 12.18 - 1 = 11.18

t = 11 approximately
