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

In a random sample of 200 cars of a particular model,
Aleks04 [339]

By using proportions, We expect 150 defects out of the 10,000 cars if the 3 defects out of the 200 cars sampled is representative of all 10,000 cars.

Option A is correct.

First, let's set up the proportions.

A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

We have 3/200 cars with defects and we want to know X for X/10000.

So 3/200 = X/10000

Now solve for X.

3/200 = X/10000

X = \frac{3}{200} \times 10000

X = 150

So the answer is: We expect 150 defects out of the 10,000 cars if the 3 defects out of the 200 cars sampled is representative of all 10,000 cars.

Option A is correct.

What is the answer to 5(n-7)=2(n+14) work
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

n = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

5(n-7)=2(n+14)

Distribute

5n -35 = 2n+28

Subtract 2n from each side

5n-2n -35 = 2n-2n +28

3n-35 =28

Add 35 to each side

3n-35+35 = 28+35

3n = 63

Divide by 3

3n/3 = 63/3

n =21
