Consider this:

If a test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

Then,

if the test is 97& accurate (not precise) for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97& of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is considered a false positive.

The decorating committee for a school
Schach [20]

Answer:

D. 160

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

In this question:

For each 3 white carnations, 5 yellows are needed, which leaves us with 8 total carnations. So for 60 white, the total is:

3 white - 8 total

60 white - x total

So

3x = 60*8

Dividing both sides by 3

x = 20*8 = 160

The correct answer is given by option D.

The slope of a line is -1/4 and the y-intercept is 8. Whats the x-intercept?
Fed [463]
Slope = -1/4
y-interept = 8
⇒equation:  y = -1/4x + 8

x-intercept ⇒ when y = 0
0 = -1/4x + 8
1/4x = 8
x = 8 x 4 
x = 32

Answer: x-intercept = (32,0)
