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

67,124 x = ________. Will the product of this equation be less than or greater than 67,124? Explain your reasoning.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The product could be either less than or greater than 67,124.

If you multiplied by a negative number, you would get a negative number, which is less than a positive number such as 67,124.

If you multiplied by zero, you would get zero, which is less than a positive number such as 67,124.

If you multiplied by one, you would get 67,124, which is equal to 67,124 since they are the same number.

If you multiplied by a positive number less than one, you would get a positive number greater than zero and less than 67,124.

If you multiplied by a positive number greater than one, you would get a positive number greater than 67,124.

I really need help please!! <br><br> ax - b = c<br><br> Solve for X<br><br> Show work please!!
Elina [12.6K]

ax - b = c

add b to both sides

ax - b + b = c + b

simplifying

ax =  c + b

divide both sides by a

ax / a =  (c + b) / a

simplifying

x =  (c + b) / a

Choose whether the probability is mutually exclusive or not
Semmy [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of interest is ...

  P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  9/10 = 2/5 + 1/2 - P(A and B)

Solving for P(A and B), we get ...

  P(A and B) = 2/5 +1/2 -9/10 = 4/10 +5/10 -9/10

  P(A and B) = 0

__

Events are mutually exclusive when <em>they can never happen at the same time</em>. That is, P(A and B) = 0.

The events A and B are mutually exclusive.
