Answer: 0.31 or 31%
Let A be the event that the disease is present in a particular person
Let B be the event that a person tests positive for the disease
The problem asks to find P(A|B), where
P(A|B) = P(B|A)*P(A) / P(B) = (P(B|A)*P(A)) / (P(B|A)*P(A) + P(B|~A)*P(~A))
In other words, the problem asks for the probability that a positive test result will be a true positive.
P(B|A) = 1-0.02 = 0.98 (person tests positive given that they have the disease)
P(A) = 0.009 (probability the disease is present in any particular person)
P(B|~A) = 0.02 (probability a person tests positive given they do not have the disease)
P(~A) = 1-0.009 = 0.991 (probability a particular person does not have the disease)
P(A|B) = (0.98*0.009) / (0.98*0.009 + 0.02*0.991)
= 0.00882 / 0.02864 = 0.30796
*round however you need to but i am leaving it at 0.31 or 31%*

<span>Is the following definition of perpendicular reversible? If
yes, write it as a true biconditional.</span>
Two lines that intersect at right angles are perpendicular.
<span>A. The statement is not reversible. </span>
<span>B. Yes; if two lines intersect at right
angles, then they are perpendicular.
</span>
<span>C. Yes; if two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect at
right angles. </span>
<span>D. Yes; two lines
intersect at right angles if (and only if) they are perpendicular.</span>
Your Answer would be (D)
<span>Yes; two lines
intersect at right angles if (and only if) they are perpendicular.

Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Feom the question, we are informed that students are making ornaments and each takes 1/2 of a piece of Bristol board and that they go to the cupboard and find 1 1/2 pieces of Bristol board.
The number of ornaments that they can make will be calculated by dividing 1 1/2 by 1/2. This will be:
= 1 1/2 ÷ 1/2
= 3/2 ÷ 1/2
= 3/2 × 2/1
= 3
They can make 3 ornaments
