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's the answer to this
White raven [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle CDB is the supplementary angle to 9x+10 (angle ADC).

that means they stand together for 180°. as all angles around a single point on one side of a line are together always 180°.

and then, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

so,

CDB + (4x + 10) + 50 = 180

CDB = 180 - (9x + 10) = 180 - 9x - 19 = 170 - 9x

therefore,

(170 - 9x) + (4x + 10) + 50 = 180

170 - 9x + 4x + 10 + 50 = 180

-5x = -50

5x = 50

x = 10

angle CDB = 170 - 9x = 170 - 90 = 80°

The dimension of a mural pointed on the wall of a school is 10 ft by 22 ft. the art club wants to paint a new mural that is x fe
Westkost [7]

Answer:

  • 18 ft and 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The new dimensions will be:</u>

  • 10 + x and 22 + x

The area is 540

<u>Using area equation we get:</u>

  • (10 + x)(22 + x) = 540
  • x² + 32x + 220 = 540
  • x² + 32x = 320
  • x² + 2x*16 + 256 = 320 + 256
  • (x + 16)² = 576
  • x + 16 = √576  (Ignoring the negative root as the length is never negative)
  • x + 16 = 24
  • x = 8

<u>The new dimensions are:</u>

  • 10 + 8 = 18 ft and
  • 22 + 8 = 30 ft
