You can divide a triangle using medians. Let's name triangle ΔABC shown in figure 1. So you must start at one of the vertices and then bisect the opposite side. Let's start with the point A and then we bisect the opposite side. Then the length from B to D is equal to the length from D to C. So let's take the point B and then we bisect the opposite side. Then the length from A to E is equal to the length from E to C. The same reasoning happens with the point C. So we have, in figure 2, the triangle ΔABC divided into six triangles which all have the same area.

A common blood test performed on pregnant women to screen for chromosome abnormalities in the fetus measures the human chorionic
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of women who are tested, get a negative test result is 0.82.

(b) The proportion of women who get a positive test result are actually carrying a fetus with a chromosome abnormality is 0.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event <em>E</em>_{i}, of the sample space <em>S,</em> given that another event <em>A</em> has already occurred is:

P(E_{i}|A)=\frac{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}{\sum\liits^{n}_{i=1}{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}}

The law of total probability states that, if events <em>E</em>₁, <em>E</em>₂, <em>E</em>₃... are parts of a sample space then for any event <em>A</em>,

P(A)=\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(A|B_{i})P(B_{i})}

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = fetus have a chromosome abnormality.

<em>Y</em> = the test is positive

The information provided is:

P(X)=0.04\\P(Y|X)=0.90\\P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=0.85

Using the above the probabilities compute the remaining values as follows:

P(X^{c})=1-P(X)=1-0.04=0.96

P(Y^{c}|X)=1-P(Y|X)=1-0.90=0.10

P(Y|X^{c})=1-P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=1-0.85=0.15

(a)

Compute the probability of women who are tested negative as follows:

Use the law of total probability:

P(Y^{c})=P(Y^{c}|X)P(X)+P(Y^{c}|X^{c})P(X^{c})

          =(0.10\times 0.04)+(0.85\times 0.96)\\=0.004+0.816\\=0.82

Thus, the proportion of women who are tested, get a negative test result is 0.82.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X|Y) as follows:

Use the Bayes' theorem:

P(X|Y)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X^{c})P(X^{c})}

             =\frac{(0.90\times 0.04)}{(0.90\times 0.04)+(0.15\times 0.96)}

             =0.20

Thus, the proportion of women who get a positive test result are actually carrying a fetus with a chromosome abnormality is 0.20.

In a circle, chords ST and RA intersect at Y such that SY is perpendicular to RY. The value of mSA + mRT is: a. 90º b. 180º c. 2
pshichka [43]

Answer:

a. 90º

Explanation:

The chords ST and RA intesect at Y, so that SY is now perpendicular to RY and they form an angle 90 degrees at that point. However angles mSA and mRT are both at the circumference of the circle(a chord is a line from point of a circle's circumference to the other) and are both 90 degrees because angle at the circumference is half of angle at the centre in same arc.

How do you solve for the quotient of (x^-1) - 1 ÷ x - 1?
Ber [7]

\bf x^{-1}-1\div x-1\implies \implies \cfrac{1}{x}-1\div x-1\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{x}-1}{~~x-1~~}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1-x}{x}~~}{\frac{x-1}{1}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1-x}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x-1}\implies \cfrac{-(\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix})}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{x}\implies -x^{-1}
