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.

A mother is three times as old as her daughter, and the sum of their ages
garri49 [273]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

If m = Mother's age and d = daughter's age, we can make the following equations

m = 3d

m + d = 44

Now, using substitution, we can substitute m for 3d in the second equation:

3d + d = 44, 4d = 44, d = 11

Then, we can plug d into the first equation: m = 3(11) = 33
