The National Cancer Institute estimates that 3.65% of women in their 60s get breast cancer. A mammogram can typically identify c

orrectly 85% of cancer cases and 95% of cases without cancer. What is the probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer?

Answer:

39.17% probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test.

Event B: Having breast cancer.

3.65% of women in their 60s get breast cancer

This means that P(B) = 0.0365

A mammogram can typically identify correctly 85% of cancer cases

This means that P(A|B) = 0.85

Probability of a positive test.

85% of 3.65% and 100-95 = 5% of 100-3.65 = 96.35%. So

P(A) = 0.85*0.0365 + 0.05*0.9635 = 0.0792

What is the probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.0365*0.85}{0.0792} = 0.3917

39.17% probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer

Finger [1]

Answer:

there you go bro. 168 degrees   for each angle

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the central angle visualize a circle in the center of the polygon. A circle has 360 degrees. Divide 360 by the number of sides and that will tell you the central angle size. So 360 divided by 30 equals 18 degrees.

To find the base angle use this formula

180(n-2)/n where n is the number of sides of a regular polygon.

When you plug in 30 for n

P (6,6) y=2/3x
matrenka [14]

Answer:

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Given point P(6, 6)

The equation of the line.

y = \frac{2}{3}x

We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains P

Solution:

The equation of the line.

y = \frac{2}{3}x

Now, we compare the given equation by standard form y = mx +c

So, slope of the line m_{1} = \frac{2}{3}, and

y-intercept c=0

We know that the slope of the perpendicular line m_{1}\times m_{2}  = -1

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{m_{1}}

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }

m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

So, the slope of the perpendicular line m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

From the above statement, line passes through the point P(6, 6).

Using slope intercept formula to know y-intercept.

y=mx+c

Substitute point P(x_{1}, y_{1})=P(6, 6) and m = m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

6=-\frac{3}{2}\times 6 +c

6=-3\times 3 +c

c=6+9

c=15

So, the y-intercept of the perpendicular line c=15

Using point slope formula.

y=mx+c

Substitute m = m_{2}=-\frac{3}{2} and c=15 in above equation.

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15

Therefore: the equation of the perpendicular line y = -\frac{3}{2}x+15
