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

Answer:

849.24 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

we know it is a cube so to find the surface area of each square you do

12x12=144 and there are 5 sides so 144x5=720

We know sides of the squares are 12 cm so half of that (6) would be the bottom of the triangle

Now using pythagorus you would do a²+b²=c²

15²+6²=c²

225+36=c²

√261=√c²

16.15=c       this only half of one of the sides of the pyramid so you would times 16.15 by 8 to equal 129.24

now add 720+129.24=849.24 cm²
