Answer:

0.070

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = number on trial

Y has a negative binomial distribution

r = 3

P = 30% = 0.3 probability of positive indication.

P(Y = 11) probability of 11 employees that must be tested to get 3 positives

Y-1Cr-1*p^r*q^(y-r)

Y-1 = 11-1 = 10

r-1 = 3 -1 = 2

10C2 x 0.3³x0.7⁸

45x0.027x0.05764801

= 0.070

This is the probability that 11 employees must be tested to get 3 positives.

100y−39,000=55(x−800)
hoa [83]

Answer:

y = 11/20x -50

Step-by-step explanation:

100y−39,000=55(x−800)

Distribute

100y−39,000=55x−44000

Add 39000 to each side

100y−39,000+39000=55x−44000+39000

100y = 55x -5000

Divide each side by 100

100y/100 = 55x/100 - 5000/100

y = 11/20x -50

This is slope intercept form

where 11/20 is the slope and -50 is the y intercept
