2.5% of a population are infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely ac

curate. 90.4% of those who have the disease test positive. However 4.1% of those who do not have the disease also test positive (false positives). A person is randomly selected and tested for the disease. What is the probability that the person has the disease given that the test result is positive?

Answer:

P(disease/positivetest) = 0.36116

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's name the events :

I : ''A person is infected''

NI : ''A person is not infected''

PT : ''The test is positive''

NT : ''The test is negative''

The conditional probability equation is :

Given two events A and B :

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

P(B) >0

P(A/B) is the probability of the event A given that the event B happened

P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the event (A ∩ B)

(A ∩ B) is the event where A and B happened at the same time

In the exercise :

P(I)=0.025

P(NI)= 1-P(I)=1-0.025=0.975\\P(NI)=0.975

P(PT/I)=0.904\\P(PT/NI)=0.041

We are looking for P(I/PT) :

P(I/PT)=P(I∩ PT)/ P(PT)

P(PT/I)=0.904

P(PT/I)=P(PT∩ I)/P(I)

0.904=P(PT∩ I)/0.025

P(PT∩ I)=0.904 x 0.025

P(PT∩ I) = 0.0226

P(PT/NI)=0.041

P(PT/NI)=P(PT∩ NI)/P(NI)

0.041=P(PT∩ NI)/0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.041 x 0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.039975

P(PT) = P(PT∩ I)+P(PT∩ NI)

P(PT)= 0.0226 + 0.039975

P(PT) = 0.062575

P(I/PT) = P(PT∩I)/P(PT)

P(I/PT)=\frac{0.0226}{0.062575} \\P(I/PT)=0.36116

What is the value of x ? 6.75 + 3/8x = 13 1/4
Bad White [126]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6.75+38x=1314

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

38x+6.75=534

Step 2: Subtract 6.75 from both sides.

38x+6.75−6.75=534−6.75

38x=132

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/3.

(83)*(38x)=(83)*(132)

x=523

Answer:

x=1713

150 minutes per day = hours per week
RideAnS [48]
150 minutes / day for a week
= (150 minutes / day) * (7 days / week)
= 150 * 7 minutes / week
= 1050 minutes / week

(1050 minutes / week) * (1 hour / 60 minutes)
= (1050 / 60) hours / week
= (105 / 6) hours / week
= 17.5 hours / week

You could also convert to hours first. 150 minutes = 2.5 hours * 7 days = 17.5 hours per week.

Is it a function and whats the domain and range?<br>Picture below
ipn [44]

Answer:

This is not a function

The domain is 3,6,-7,6,-3

The range is -6,-4,5,1,2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a function because the x value 6 is on the x list twice which means that a x value touches the y value twice so this is not a function

Hoped this helped :)
