Answer: 0.328

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The percent of general population has a disease = 7%

⇒ The percent of general population  has no disease = 100\%-7\%=93\%

Also, The test for the disease is accurate 70% of the time.

Probability that test is accurate = 0.7

⇒ The test for the disease is not accurate 30% of the time.

Probability that test is not accurate = 0.3

Now, the probability of testing positive for the disease is given by :-

0.07\times0.7+0.93\times0.3=0.328

<span>a right triangle has 2 legs and a hypotenuse.
the hypotenuse is opposite the 90 degree angle.
the 2 legs are opposite the other angles of the triangle.
if you know 2 of the dimensions then you simply use the formula to solve for the remaining dimension.
assume one of the legs is equal to a and the other leg is equal to b and the hypotenuse is equal to c.
then the formula is:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
suppose you know the value of a and b
you substitute for a and b in the equation and solve for c.
assume a = 6 and b = 8
the formula becomes:
c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

now you take the square root of both sides of the equation to get:
c = sqrt(100) = 10
now suppose you knew that c was equal to 10 and a was equal to 6.
your equation of:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 becomes:
10^2 = 6^2 + b^2 which becomes:
100 = 36 + b^2
you subtract 36 from both sides of the equaton to get:
100 - 36 = b^2
you simplify to get:
64 = b^2
you take the square root of both sides of the equation to get:
8 = b

S'y afin buys 12 cookies .He gives 3.1 of the cookies to his mother. He gives 6.1 of the cookies to his brother. a)How many cook
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

To represent parts of whole numbers, we use fractions.

So if 4 kids are sharing 3 cookies, what happens?

First, we divide one cookie into four equal parts, and give one part to each kid. Then we do the same with the second cookie, and then with the third one.

In the end, each kid will have three pieces. Each piece is a whole cookie divided into four equal parts.

So we represent this amount as

3 (Number of parts) & 4 (How many equal parts the whole is divided into)

3

4

as a fraction

A fraction is made of two numbers :

A ball is thrown into the air. The height h, in feet, of the ball after x seconds is given by the function h = −16(x − 2)2 + 72.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

A. -16x²+64x+8

B. 72 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: A. Expand the perfect square binomial -16(x²-4x+4)+72, dist. -16 (-16x²+64x-64+72), then combine like terms (-16x²+64x+8)

B. Find the abs. max. by looking back at the vertex form. The max is (2,72). Use the y-value for the height.
