There is a new diagnostic test for a disease that occurs in about 0.05% of the population. The test is not perfect, but will det

ect a person with the disease 99% of the time. It will, however, say that a person without the disease has the disease about 3% of the time. A person is selected at random from the population, and the test indicates that this person has the disease. What are the conditional probabilities that(a) the person has the disease? (b) the person does not have the disease?

Answer:

(a) P(D|TD) = 0.0162 and (b) P(ND|TD) = 0.9838

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events:

D: the person has the disease

ND: the person does not have the disease

TD: the test indicates the person has the disease. Then

P(D) = 0.0005 because the disease occurs in about 0.05% of the population.

P(ND) = 0.9995

P(TD|D) = 0.99 because the test detect a person with the disease 99% of the time.

P(TD|ND) = 0.03 because the test say that a person without the disease has the disease about 3% of the time.

We are looking for (a) P(D|TD) and (b) P(ND|TD)

By Bayes' formula

(a) $P(D|TD) = \frac{P(TD|D)P(D)}{P(TD|D)P(D)+P(TD|ND)P(ND)} = \frac{(0.99)(0.0005)}{(0.99)(0.0005)+(0.03)(0.9995)}$ =

0.0162

and

(b) $P(ND|TD) = 1-P(D|TD)=1-0.0162$ = 0.9838

What additional information would allow you to prove the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?

slavikrds [6]

The additional information that would allow us to prove that the image is a parallelogram is that; Line EJ ≅ Line GJ

<h3>How to prove a Parallelogram?</h3>

The six basic properties of parallelograms are primarily;

Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel

Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent

Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent

Diagonals bisect each other

One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles (same-side interior)

One pair of opposite sides are congruent AND parallel.

Now, looking at the parallelogram properties above and comparing with the given image of the quadrilateral attached, we can say that the additional information that would allow us to prove that the image is a parallelogram is that; Line EJ ≅ Line GJ

Can u guys help me with this problem

Answer:

$-0.7$ or $-\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-0.75-(-\frac{2}{5})+0.4+(-\frac{3}{4})$

The opposite of $-\frac{2}{5}$ is $\frac{2}{5}$

$-0.75 + \frac{2}{5} +0.4 - \frac{3}{4}$

Convert decimal number −0.75 to fraction $-\frac{75}{100}$ .

Reduce the fraction $-\frac{75}{100}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$-\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{5}+0.4-\frac{3}{4}$

Least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20. Convert $-\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ to fractions with denominator 20.

$-\frac{15}{20}+ \frac{8}{20} +0.4 - \frac{3}{4}$

Since $-\frac{15}{20}$ and $\frac{8}{20}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$\frac{-15 +8}{20} +0.4-\frac{3}{4}$

Add -15 and 8 to get -7

$-\frac{7}{20}+0.4-\frac{3}{4}$

Convert decimal number 0.4 to fraction $\frac{4}{10}$ . Reduce the fraction $\frac{4}{10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$-\frac{7}{20}+\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{4}$

Least common multiple of 20 and 5 is 20. Convert $-\frac{7}{20}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ to fractions with denominator 20.

$-\frac{7}{20}+\frac{8}{20}-\frac{3}{4}$

Since $-\frac{7}{20}$ and $\frac{8}{20}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$20-7+8-\frac{3}{4}$

Add -7 and 8 to get 1.

$\frac{1}{20}-\frac{3}{4}$

Least common multiple of 20 and 4 is 20. Convert $\frac{1}{20}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ to fractions with denominator 20.

$\frac{1}{20}-\frac{15}{20}$

Since $\frac{1}{20}$ and $\frac{15}{20}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$\frac{1}{20}-15$

Subtract 15 from 1 to get -14.

$20-14$

Reduce the fraction $-\frac{14}{20}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$-\frac{7}{10}$ or $-0.7$

Hope this helps! Brainliest would be much appreciated! Have a great day! :)

The scale factor to dilate Triangle ABC to Triangle DEF is _.

zaharov [31]

1/2

If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2

Bob is trying to decide between two cell phone plans. Plan A has no flat fee, but the user must pay $10 cents per minute on the

professor190 [17]

$ per min is a rate. you multiple by minutes to get dollars.

A = 10x
B = 5x + 20

set them equal to find minutes, x.

10x = 5x + 20
10x - 5x = 20
5x = 20

x = 4
