Answer:

Jackson runs 14/8 miles per hour or 7/4 when simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, take the distance he runs and divide by the time it takes. This will give you the rate per hour.

7/8 miles ÷ 1/2 hour = 14/8 miles per hour OR 7/4mph

A 13-ft ladder is leaning against a house. The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 7-ft less than the distanc
Olin [163]

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As a  ladder is leaning against a house, it forms right angle triangle. And for right angleΔ, we use Pythagoras theorem.i.e

P²+B²= H²

Where,

'P' is perpendicular i.e the distance  from the top of the ladder to the ground

'B' is base i.e be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house

'H' is hypotenuse i.e 13

considering 'x' as perpendicular

So, base would be 'x-7'

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

x² + (x-7)²= 13²

x² +x² -14x +49 =169

2x² -14x -120= 0

x² -7x -60=0 ----> solving the quadratic equation

x² + 5x -12x-60=0

x(x+5) -12(x+5)=0

Either : x+5=0 => x=-5

OR: x-12=0 => x=12

We'll choose the positive length.

therefore , The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 12 feet

Determine whether the given value is a discrete or continuous variable. People are asked to state how many times in the last mon
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The given value is discrete  variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete Variable:

Discrete Variable are those variables that can only take on a finite number of values are called "discrete variables." All qualitative variables are discrete. Some quantitative variables are discrete, such as performance rated as 1,2,3,4, or 5, or temperature rounded to the nearest degree.

A certain disease occurs most frequently among older women. Of all age groups, women in their 60s have the highest rate of breas
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a set be events that have occurred be denoted as:

S = {A₁, A₂, A₃,..., Aₙ}

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event, say <em>A</em>ₙ given that another event, say <em>X</em> has already occurred is given by:

P(A_{n}|X)=\frac{P(X|A_{n})P(A_{n})}{\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(X|A_{i})P(A_{i})}}

The disease Breast cancer is being studied among women of age 60s.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>B</em> = a women in their 60s has breast cancer

+ = the mammograms detects the breast cancer

The information provided is:

P(B) = 0.0312\\P(+|B)=0.81\\P(+|B^{c})=0.92

Compute the value of P (B|+) using the Bayes' theorem as follows:

P(B|+)=\frac{P(+|B)P(B)}{P(+|B)P(B)+P(+|B^{c})P(B^{c})}

            =\frac{(0.81\times 0.0312)}{(0.81\times 0.0312)+(0.92\times (1-0.0312)}\\

            =\frac{0.025272}{0.025272+0.891296}

            =0.02757\\\approx0.0276

Thus, the probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.
