Answer:
The probability that the result is positive is P=0.04475=4.475%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the events:
D: disease present
ND: disease not present
P: test positive
F: test false
Then, the information we have is:
P(D)=0.005
P(P | D)=0.99
P(P | ND)=0.04
The total amount of positive test are the sum of the positive when the disease is present and the false positives (positive tests when the disease is not present).
The probability that the result is positive is P=0.04475.
<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.
So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.
An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is
