Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-3=-2

8x-3+3=-2+3

8x=1

divide both sides by 8

x=1/8

A new test to detect TB has been designed. It is estimated that 88% of people taking this test have the disease. The test detect

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Correct option: (a) 0.1452

Step-by-step explanation:

The new test designed for detecting TB is being analysed.

Denote the events as follows:

D = a person has the disease

X = the test is positive.

The information provided is:

$P(D)=0.88\\P(X|D)=0.97\\P(X^{c}|D^{c})=0.99$

Compute the probability that a person does not have the disease as follows:

$P(D^{c})=1-P(D)=1-0.88=0.12$

The probability of a person not having the disease is 0.12.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D)=P(X^{c}|D)P(D)\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times P(D)\\=[1-0.97]\times 0.88\\=0.03\times 0.88\\=0.0264$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does not have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})=P(X^{c}|D^{c})P(D^{c})\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times{1- P(D)]\\=0.99\times 0.12\\=0.1188$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative as follows:

$P(X^{c})=P(X^{c}\cap D)+P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})$

$=0.0264+0.1188\\=0.1452$

Thus, the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease is 0.1452.

12n^3 + 16n^3 can someone please help me with this?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

$4n^{3} (3n^{2} + 4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is asking you to factor out the formula, it can be done easily by finding a common number with the two givens.

4 goes into both 12 and 16 evenly, so we will use this to factor. But that's not all, we have the n-variable to worry about.

Look at the n-variable exponents in the problem, take the highest power that can go be subtracted from both and use that. We have a $n^{5}$ and $n^{3}$ . Since 5 can't go into 3, we must use 3 to factor.

Our factoring variable will therefore be $4n^{3}$ . Now, use this to simply divide and get the answer:

$( 12n^{5} + 16n^{3} ) / 4n^{3} = 4n^{3}(3n^{2} + 4)$

So how did we get this? For the whole numbers, we have to divide: (12/4, 16/4). Next, we have to minus the exponents since we are dividing.

When dividing the 12 and 4, minus the $n^{5}$ and $n^{3}$ to get $n^{2}$ . Get rid of the $n^{3}$ term for the 16 and leave the 4. And there's your answer!
