Let's solve the first inequality at first. So,
−2(x + 4) + 10 < x − 7
-2x- 8 + 10 < x - 7 By distribution property.
-2x + 2 < x - 7 Adding the like terms.
-2x < x - 7 - 2 Subtract 2 from each sides.
-2x < x - 9 By simplifying.
-2x - x < -9 Subtract x from each sides.
-3x < -9
Since we are dividing by negative 3. So, sign of inequality will get change.
So, x>3
Now the next inequality is,
−2x + 9 > 3(x + 8)
-2x + 9 > 3x + 24
-2x > 3x + 24 - 9
-2x > 3x + 15
-2x - 3x > 15
-5x >15
So, x <-3
Hence, the correct choice is x > 3 or x < −3.
Answer:
39.17% probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer
Step-by-step explanation:
Bayes Theorem:
Two events, A and B.
In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.
In this question:
Event A: Positive test.
Event B: Having breast cancer.
3.65% of women in their 60s get breast cancer
This means that
A mammogram can typically identify correctly 85% of cancer cases
This means that
Probability of a positive test.
85% of 3.65% and 100-95 = 5% of 100-3.65 = 96.35%. So
What is the probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer?
39.17% probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer
