A banana peel weighs 1/12 of the total weight of a banana. If an unpeeled banana balances a peeled banana of the same weight, p

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

11 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Unpeeled = X

Peeled = (1 - 1/12)X = (11/12)X

X = (11/12)X + (11/12)

X - (11/12)X = 11/12

(1/12)X = 11/12

X = 11 ounces

What is the sum of the first 11 terms of the arithmetic series in which a1 = 12 and d = 5?. (Points : 1). 38. . 549. . 143. . 2

Marina CMI [18]

First we will find the 11th term
an = a1 + (n-1) * d
a11 = 12 + (11 - 1) * 5
a11 = 12 + 10 * 5
a11 = 12 + 50
a11 = 62

now we use the sum formula...
Sn = (n (a1 + an)) / 2
S11 = (11 (12 + 62)) / 2
S11 = (11 (74)) / 2
S11 = 814/2
S11 = 407

A common blood test performed on pregnant women to screen for chromosome abnormalities in the fetus measures the human chorionic

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of women who are tested, get a negative test result is 0.82.

(b) The proportion of women who get a positive test result are actually carrying a fetus with a chromosome abnormality is 0.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event E $_{i}$ , of the sample space S, given that another event A has already occurred is:

$P(E_{i}|A)=\frac{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}{\sum\liits^{n}_{i=1}{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}}$

The law of total probability states that, if events E₁, E₂, E₃... are parts of a sample space then for any event A,

$P(A)=\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(A|B_{i})P(B_{i})}$

Denote the events as follows:

X = fetus have a chromosome abnormality.

Y = the test is positive

The information provided is:

$P(X)=0.04\\P(Y|X)=0.90\\P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=0.85$

Using the above the probabilities compute the remaining values as follows:

$P(X^{c})=1-P(X)=1-0.04=0.96$

$P(Y^{c}|X)=1-P(Y|X)=1-0.90=0.10$

$P(Y|X^{c})=1-P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=1-0.85=0.15$

(a)

Compute the probability of women who are tested negative as follows:

Use the law of total probability:

$P(Y^{c})=P(Y^{c}|X)P(X)+P(Y^{c}|X^{c})P(X^{c})$

$=(0.10\times 0.04)+(0.85\times 0.96)\\=0.004+0.816\\=0.82$

Thus, the proportion of women who are tested, get a negative test result is 0.82.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X|Y) as follows:

Use the Bayes' theorem:

$P(X|Y)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X^{c})P(X^{c})}$

$=\frac{(0.90\times 0.04)}{(0.90\times 0.04)+(0.15\times 0.96)}$

$=0.20$

Thus, the proportion of women who get a positive test result are actually carrying a fetus with a chromosome abnormality is 0.20.

If it is a rigid motion identify the type of transformation Help please

wel

A transformation is rigid if the original shape remains the same shape and size after the transformation.

Flipping a pancake:
After it is flipped, the pancake should stay the same size and shape, so it is a rigid motion and it is a rotation.

Deflating an air mattress:
Deflating a mattress changes its size, so the transformation is not rigid. This is called a dilation.

Moving a clock's minute hand:
Moving the minute hand does not change the hand's size or shape so the transformation is rigid. This transformation is a combination of a translation and a rotation. The translation is what moves the hand around the center of the clock, and the rotation is what changes the direction of the hand.

Enlarging a photo:
Enlarging a photo changes the photo's size, so this transformation is not rigid. This is called dilation.

Putting a golf ball:
Putting does not change the size or shape of a golf ball, so this transformation is rigid. Putting a golf ball both rotates and moves the ball, so the transformation is rotation and translation.

Looking in a car's rear view mirror:
Assuming the car is moving relative to something behind it(because otherwise there would be no transformation), As things come closer to the back of the car, they would appear larger in the mirror, and as things move away from the back of the car, they would appear smaller in the mirror. Because the size changes when looking at the mirror, this is not a rigid transformation and is called dilation.
