Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this two different ways. Both include picking two points where the line crosses a corner. I'm using (0,-1) and (4,2). Now here you can either use

Slope= $\frac{Rise}{Run}$

or $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

If you use the first one start at point (0,-1) and go to point (4,2) and count how many it goes up (rise) and then put that over how many it goes to the right (run).

If you use the second one then plug in the numbers.

y2=second y point

y1=first y point

x2=second x point

x1=first x point

$\frac{2-(-1)}{4-0}$ Now just solve.

$\frac{3}{4}$

A certain genetic condition affects 8% of the population in a city of 10,000. Suppose there is a test for the condition that has

enot [183]

Solution:

Population in the city= 10,000

As genetic condition affects 8% of the population.

8 % of 10,000

$=\frac{8}{100}\times 10,000=800$

As, it is also given that, there is an error rate of 1% for condition (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).

So, 1% false negatives means out of 800 tested who are found affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found affected are not affected at all.

So, 1% of 800 $=\frac{1}{100}\times 800=8$

Also, 1% false positives means out of 10,000 tested,[10,000-800= 9200] who are found not affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found not affected can be affected also.

So, 1% of 9200 $=\frac{1}{100}\times 9200=92$

1. Has condition Does not have condition totals = 800

2. Test positive =92

3. Test negative =8

4. Total =800 +92 +8=900

5. Probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive= As 8% are found positive among 10,000 means 9200 are not found affected.But there are chances that out of 9200 , 1% may be affected

$=\frac{\text{1 percent of 9200}}{9200}\\\\ \frac{\frac{1}{100}\times 9200}{9200}=\frac{92}{9200}\\\\ =0.01$
