An athletic league does drug testing of its athletes, 10 percent of whom use drugs. This test, however, is only 95 percent relia

ble. That is, a drug user will test positive with probability 0.95 and negative with probability 0.05, and a nonuser will test negative with probability 0.95 and positive with probability 0.05. Develop a probability tree diagram to determine the posterior probability of each of the following outcomes of testing an athlete.
(a) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is positive.

(b) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is positive.

(c) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is negative.

(d) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is negative.

(e) Use the corresponding Excel template to check your answers in the preceding parts.

Answer:

0.6786

0.3214

1 / 172

171 / 172

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The tree diagram is attached below.

a) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is positive P(D/+)

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D / + ) = P ( D and + ) / P ( +)

= (0.1 * 0.95) / (0.1 * 0.95 + 0.9*0.05)

= 0.6786

Answer: P ( D / + ) = 0.6786

b) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is positive P(D' / + )

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D' / + ) = P ( D' and + ) / P (+)

= (0.9 * 0.05) / (0.1 * 0.95 + 0.9*0.05)

= 0.3214

Answer: P ( D' / + ) = 0.3214

c) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is negative P (D / - )

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D / - ) = P ( D and - ) / P (-)

= (0.1 * 0.05) / (0.9 * 0.95 + 0.1*0.05)

= 1 / 172

Answer: P ( D / - ) = 1 / 172

(d) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is negative P (D' / - )

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D' / - ) = P ( D' and - ) / P (-)

= (0.9 * 0.95) / (0.9 * 0.95 + 0.1*0.05)

= 171 / 172

Answer: P ( D / - ) = 171 / 172

What is the simplified sum of 3x/x-4 + x-3/2x
zubka84 [21]

━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━

▹ Answer

<em>-1 - 1/2x</em>

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

3x ÷ x - 4 + x - 3 ÷ 2x

Divide and Rewrite:

3 * 1 - 4 + x - 3 ÷ 2 * x

Calculate:

3 - 4 + x - 3/2x

-1 + x - 3/2x

= -1 - 1/2x

Hope this helps!

Ludmilka [50]
The answer is 180 degrees. 

A right angle formed at the edge of any circle will always create an arc of 180 degrees. This is true no matter where it is placed and no matter the side lengths.

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failuresif a success is 5 or 6.
erastova [34]

Answer:

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each dice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a failure is obtained, or a success is obtained. Trials are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

A success is 5 or 6.

A dice has 6 sides, numbered 1 to 6. Since a success is 5 or 6, the other 4 numbers are failures, and the probability of failure is:

p = \frac{4}{6} = 0.6667

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.

This means that n = 10

Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

This is:

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.6667)^{8}.(0.3333)^{2} = 0.1951

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.6667)^{9}.(0.3333)^{1} = 0.0867

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.6667)^{10}.(0.3333)^{0} = 0.0174

Then

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1951 + 0.0867 + 0.0174 = 0.2992

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

PolarNik [594]
We have that
<span>Circle 1: center (8, 5) and radius 6
</span><span>Circle 2: center (−2, 1) and radius 2

we know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)</span>²+(y-k)²=r²
for the circle 1---------> (x-8)²+(y-5)²=36
for the circle 2---------> (x+2)²+(y-1)²=4

using a graph tool 
see the attached figure

Part A)<span>What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?

we know that
r1/r2---------> 6/2------> 3
</span><span>
to prove that the circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, the radius of circle 1 </span>must be divided by 3 and  translate the center of the circle 1  (10) units to the left and (4) units down  
<span>
 the answer part A) is
</span>the radius of circle 1 must be divided by 3 and  translate the center of the circle 1  (10) units to the left and (4) units down
