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%.

Answer: Both the mean and median decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition of the 500 lb baby elephant will have a huge impact on the mean, since you'll be finding the average (adding all numbers then dividing). So the only logical answer would be the chosen. The median will most likely either decrease or stay the same, but since staying the same isn't an option for the median, it's most likely going to be decrease.

[I do apologize in advance if it's wrong, and next time try submitting work on time :)) Hope I helped!]

Can someone please help me with this I’ve tried so many times and I’m struggling
True [87]

Answer:

F is independent, g is dependent.

You can tell that because of the second sentence: "the number of frames she has determines the number of gifts she can create." So the number of gifts, g is dependent of F, and F is independent.
