Answer:

0.049

4.9 % of probability

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having the disease is equal to 7%

The probability of testing positive, having the disease is equal to 70%

We are looking for the probability of testing positive.

For that, we need to multiply the probabilities to find the result

P = (0.07)*(0.7)

P = 0.049

P = 4.9%

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! THATS ALL. I WILL GIVE POINTS, FAN, MEDAL. PLEASE, I AM SO BAD AT MATH

Please try leaving out the "I'm so bad at math" part.  It doesn't help.

The given inequality is   <span>4x + y > −6.  Because of the > symbol, we must use a dashed line, not a solid one.  Let's solve this for y:    y > -4x - 6.

This (dashed) line has a slope of -4 and a y-intercept of (0,-6).

Plot (0,-6).  Then, with your pencil pt. on that, move 1 unit to the right and then 4 units down.  Plot a new point there, at (1, -10).  Draw your dashed line thru those 2 pts.  Then, because we have y > -4x - 6, shade the area ABOVE this line.  Done.</span>
