A certain genetic condition affects 8% of the population in a city of 10,000. Suppose there is a test for the condition that has

an error rate of 1% (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).
Consider the values that would complete the table below.

Has condition Does not have condition totals

Test positive

Test negative

Totals

What is the probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Solution:

Population in the city= 10,000

As genetic condition affects 8% of the population.

8 % of 10,000

=\frac{8}{100}\times 10,000=800

As, it is also given that, there is an error rate of 1% for condition (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).

So, 1% false negatives means out of 800 tested who are found affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found affected are not affected at all.

So, 1% of 800 =\frac{1}{100}\times 800=8

Also,  1% false positives means out of 10,000 tested,[10,000-800= 9200] who are found not affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found not affected can be affected also.

So, 1% of 9200 =\frac{1}{100}\times 9200=92

1. Has condition Does not have condition totals  = 800

2. Test positive =92

3. Test negative =8

4. Total =800 +92 +8=900

5. Probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive= As 8% are found positive among 10,000 means 9200 are not found affected.But there are chances that out of 9200 , 1% may be affected

=\frac{\text{1 percent of 9200}}{9200}\\\\ \frac{\frac{1}{100}\times 9200}{9200}=\frac{92}{9200}\\\\ =0.01

that is Probability equal to 0.01 or 1%.

Let x^2+15x=49
Slav-nsk [51]
<span>x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25

    "Completing the square" is one of many different techniques for solving a quadratic equation. What you do is add a constant to both sides of the equation such that the lefthand side can be factored into the form a(x+d)^2. For instance, squaring (X+D) = X^2 + 2DX + D^2. Notice the 2DX term. That is the same term as the 15x term in the problem. So 2D = 15, D = 7.5. And D^2 = 7.5^2 = 56.25.
So we have
 x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25
 Which is
 x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
  Which is the answer desired.

   Now the rest of this is going beyond the answer. Namely, it's answering the question "Why does complementing the square help?" Well, we know that the left hand side of the equation can now be written as
 (x+7.5)^2 = 105.25

   Now take the square root of each side
 (x+7.5) = sqrt(105.25)

   And let's use both the positive and negative square roots.
So x+7.5 = 10.25914226
 and
 x+7.5 = -10.25914226

   And let's find X.
 x+7.5 = 10.25914226
 x = 2.759142264

   x+7.5 = -10.25914226
 x = -17.75914226

   So the roots for x^2 + 15x - 49 is 2.759142264, and -17.75914226</span>
