Answer:

(a) The probability tree is shown below.

(b) The probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive is 0.10.

(c) The probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive is 0.0279.

(d) The probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive is 0.1249.

(e) The probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive is 0.2234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person is a heroin user

<em>Y</em> = the test is correct.

Given:

P (X) = 0.03

P (Y|X) = 0.93

P (Y|X') = 0.99

(a)

The probability tree is shown below.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive as follows:

The event is denoted as (Y' | X').

Consider the tree diagram.

The value of P (Y' | X') is 0.10.

Thus, the probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive is 0.10.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive as follows:

P(X\cap Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)=0.93\times0.03=0.0279

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive is 0.0279.

(d)

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive as follows:

P (Positive) = P (Y|X)P(X) + P (Y'|X')P(X')

                  =(0.93\times0.03)+(0.10\times0.97)\\=0.1249

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive is 0.1249.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive as follows:

P(X|positive)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(positive)} =\frac{0.93\times0.03}{0.1249}= 0.2234

Thus, the probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive is 0.2234.

An ice-skating competition lasted three days. Day one had an attendance of 16,390 people. Day two had an attendance of 16,550 pe
lana [24]

Answer:

Day\ 3 = 16237

Day\ 1 = 16390

Day\ 2 = 16550

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Day\ 1 = 16390

Day\ 2 = 16550

Day\ 3 = 16237

Required

Order from least to greatest

Comparing 16390, 16550 and 16237.

The order of arrangement from least to greatest is:

16327, 16390 and 16550.

So, we have:

Day\ 3 = 16237

Day\ 1 = 16390

Day\ 2 = 16550

zloy xaker [14]

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(a) A natural number that is greater than 25 and less than 40

Natural Number : These are numbers starting from 1 or also sometimes from zero and are all positive !  A natural greater than 25 & less than 40 is 30 .

(b) An integer which is less than -5 and a multiple of 2

Integer : An integer is a whole number not a fraction including 0 . It can be positive or negative ! Integer less than -5 and a multiple of 2 is -6.

(c) A rational number between 1 and 2

Rational Number : A number which can be expressed in form of p/q where q is not equal to 0 . A rational number between 1 & 2 is 3/2 .

(d) An irrational number between 8 and 9.​

Irrational Number: A real number which is not rational or can't be written in form of p/q . An irrational number between 8 & 9 is 6\sqrt{2} .
