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

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

24) A

22) B

Step-by-step explanation:

24)

Original Price: d      

Sale: 30%    

A sale means that a value is subtracted from the original price

d - 30% = 0.7d

All options given:

A) 0.3d

B) 0.7d

C) d - 0.3d = 0.7d

D) (1.0 - 0.3)d = 0.7(d) = 0.7d

All of these options are equal to the price after the sale, except A.

A is the answer to question 24

22)  m > 0, n > 0    Use an example to represent m and n

m = 1,  n = 2 = -0.5

-0.5 is a rational, negative number

The answer to question 22 is B

Hope this helps :)

If REX ~ ROB, find the value of a.​
Luba_88 [7]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

\frac{RX}{RB}=\frac{XE}{BO}\\\\\frac{6}{15}=\frac{a}{20}\\\\a=20\left(\frac{6}{15} \right)=\boxed{8}
