Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So there is a 3% probability that an athlete is using EPO .
The probability of showing positive on a test when you've used it is 0.99.
3% x 0.99= 2.97%
The probability of a positive result without EPO is 0.1
97% x 0,1 = 9,7 %
My guess is that 2.97% + 9,7% = 12.67% or 0.1267.
I don't know i may be wrong because you've put as an answer 0.0297 but if you like you may take only the first part of the answer.
Assuming they work until their cost become the same, obviously.
The difference between the first charge of painter A and painter B = 376 - 280 = 96.
The hourly cost difference between painter B and painter A = 15 - 12 = 3.
So, painter A in the first hour has 96 more dollars than painter B, and as every hour pass, the difference goes down by 3 (as painter B gets 3 more dollars every hour)
Therefore, it would take 96 : 3 = 32 hours for the cost to be the same
Recheck : After 32 hours, painter A has 376 + 32 x 12 = 760 (dollars)
painter B has : 280 + 15 x 32 = 760 (dollars)
Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10
the new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9
9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)
27x+90=35x-70
160=8x
x=20
So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have 160
