$2.75m+3.25=13.70$

$2.75m=13.70-3.25\\\\2.75m=10.45\ \ \ /:2.75\\\\m=\frac{10.45}{2.75}\\\\m=\frac{1045}{275}\\\\m=3.8\ (miles)$

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.

Given: ABCD is a trapezoid, AB = CD, BK ⊥ AD, AK = 10, KD = 20 Find: BC AD

alexdok [17]

Answer:

<u> BC = 10 and AD = 30</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In figure-1 , AB = CD ,BK ⊥ AD, AK = 10, KD = 20.

Since, line AD is sum of AK and KD, then

AD = AK + KD

AD = 10 + 20

AD = 30

Since, BC ║AD and BK ⊥ AD then similarly we construct CL ⊥ AD

so, BC = KL and AK = LD

KL = AD - LD

KL = 20 - 10

KL = 10

Since, BC = KL then BC = 10

Hence, <u> BC = 10 and AD = 30</u>
