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

What is the value of x?
erica [24]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 4) + (3x + 5) + (2x + 11) = 180°

Combine like terms:

7x + 12 = 180

Subtract 12 on both sides:

7x = 168

Divide 7 on both sides:

x = 24

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (4, -7.5) and (6, -3.5) in slope-intercept form?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Your answer will be

y=2x-15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there you must know the slope-intercept form which is

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

You can also use

the slope formula which is

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

in this case

it will look like this

\frac{-7.5-(-3.5)}{6-4}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

So the slope is -2

Now we will find the y-intercept

-7.5=2(4)+b

-7.5=8+b   Subtract 8 both sides

-15.5=b

Your y-intercept is -15.5

Hope this helps

Write a function rule for the relationship. the amount c of energy you burn and the time t you spend exercising, if you burn Cal
gregori [183]

Answer:

c= 12t

c is the amount of energy you burn, so it'll be the "solution" to the equation. Multiply 12 times the amount of time you spend exercising to find how much energy you'll burn.
