@@@Answer is 0.50. @@@This is a little tricky, but you have to gather/calculate with numbers to figure this one out. If a person tests positive for the disease what is the chance that he or she actually has the disease is different from if the person actually has disease, what is the chance that they test positive for the disease. The order matters a lot.

Here are the numbers:
Assume there are a total of 100 people who actually have disease.
Since this is the 1%, there are total 10000 - 100 = 9900 people who don't have disease.
From the 100 diseased people, 99 test positive, and 1 negative.
From the 9900 non-diseased people, 99 test positive and 9801 negative.

People who test positive (99 + 99), the chance actually having disease is 99 / (99+99)

Describe how building a dam for electricity affects an ecosystem.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The alteration of a river's flow and sediment transport downstream of a dam often causes the greatest sustained environmental impacts. Life in and around a river evolves and is conditioned on the timing and quantities of river flow. A dam also holds back sediments that would naturally replenish downstream ecosystems.

Answer:

450 kilocalories.

Explanation:

Since only 1/10th of the energy that an organism consumes is passed onto the next level of the pyramid, that would mean only 500/10 = 50 kilocalories are passed on, and the remaining 500 - 50 = 450 kilocalories are used up.

Hope this helped!
