Answer:
C
(8)(-5)
Just multiply, 8 x -5 = -40
Answer:
a) 0.2416
b) 0.4172
c) 0.0253
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the result of the test should be independent of the time , then the that the test number of times that test proves correct is independent of the days the river is correct .
denoting event a A=the test proves correct and B=the river is polluted
a) the test indicates pollution when
- the river is polluted and the test is correct
- the river is not polluted and the test fails
then
P(test indicates pollution)= P(A)*P(B)+ (1-P(A))*(1-P(B)) = 0.12*0.84+0.88*0.16 = 0.2416
b) according to Bayes
P(A∩B)= P(A/B)*P(B) → P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)
then
P(pollution exists/test indicates pollution)=P(A∩B)/P(B) = 0.84*0.12 / 0.2416 = 0.4172
c) since
P(test indicates no pollution)= P(A)*(1-P(B))+ (1-P(A))*P(B) = 0.84*0.88+ 0.16*0.12 = 0.7584
the rate of false positives is
P(river is polluted/test indicates no pollution) = 0.12*0.16 / 0.7584 = 0.0253
Answer:
A and C
Step-by-step explanation:
solving the equations
A
x² - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² = 4 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ± 
= ± 2 ← required solution
B
x² = - 4 ← has no real solutions
C
4x² = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x² = 4 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± 2 ← required solution
D
2(x - 2)² = 0 , then
x- 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 2 ← not the required solution
Answer:
RS = 75.3
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up the proportion of corresponding sides.
7(RS) = 31(17)
= 527
RS = 527/7 = 75.2857...
= 75.3
