Hoochie [10]
The probability tests to detect the presence of hepatitis B:
P (presence)= 0.97 (true)  0.03 (false)

P(infected)=0.0055
P(not infected)= 0.9945

To have an incorrect result:
P[infected and false from P(presence)] + P[not infected and false from P(absence)]

How many solutions does the equation y=mx have
kherson [118]

Graphically, solutions are the intersections of the graphs of the left side and the right side, or if the equation is written so that one side is zero, we are looking for the x-intercepts (for real solutions.)

Periodic functions can have infinite solutions. For instance, cos(x)=1 has as solutions x=2n*pi, n in ZZ (or n an integer.) Periodic functions can...

Samantha sends her son, Barry, to a preschool center on certain days. The cost of preschool is $45 per day along with a fixed mo
Travka [436]

Answer: Option D

D. 880 = 45d + 70; 18\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of preschool is $ 45 per day plus a monthly fee of $ 70.

We also know that a total of $ 880 was paid last month

To write an equation that represents this situation, let us call "d" the number of days that Barry attends school

So the cost was:

45d + 70 = 880

Now we solve the equation for the variable d

45d= 880-70

d= \frac{810}{45}

d= 18\ days

Therefore answer is the option D
