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

A chord of a circle is 66cm long, it is 56 cm from the center of the circle. What is the radius of the circle?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

radius = 65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(See image attached for better comprehension)

To find the value of the radius, we just need to draw a triangle, where one side is half of the chord (the distance from the chord to the center creates a point that divides the chord in two equal segments), other side is the distance from the chord to the center, and the hypotenusa will be the radius.

So, using Pythagoras' theorem, we have that:

r^2 = 56^2 + 33^2

r^2 = 4225

r = 65 cm

C bisects AB. If AC = 8x - 1 and BC = 4x + 19, what is the length of AB?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The length of AB is 78 units.

<h3>What is a Line Segment?</h3>

A line segment is defined as a measured path between two places. Line segments can make up any polygon's sides because they have a set length.

The figure is given below shows a line segment AB , where the length of line segment AB refers to the distance between its endpoints, A and B.

Given that C is the midpoint of AB

AC = 8x - 1 and BC = 4x + 19,

A______________C______________B

⇒ AB = AC+ BC

Since C is the bisects of AB, So AC = BC

⇒ AB = AC+ BC

⇒ AB = 2AC

Substitute the values of If AC = 8x - 1 and BC = 4x + 19,

⇒ 8x - 1 = 4x + 19,

Rearranging the terms in the above equation,

⇒ 8x - 4x  = 1 + 19,

⇒ 4x = 20,

⇒ x = 20/4,

⇒ x = 5

So AB = 2AC

⇒ AB = 2(8x - 1) = 16x -2

Substitute the value of x = 5 in the above equation,

⇒ AB = 16(5) -2

⇒ AB = 78

Hence, the length of AB is 78 units.
