Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

m, causing encephalopathy and ultimately death. The Florida Department of Health reports the distribution of documented cases of rabies for all of 2004:
Species Racoon Fox Bat Other
Probability 0.55 0.11 0.04 X
(a) What probability should replace X in the distribution? Please use 2 decimal places.
(b) What is the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon? Please use 2 decimal places.
(c) What is the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox? Please use 2 decimal places.

Answer:

(a) The value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c) The probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>R</em> = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

<em>F</em> = reported case of rabies is a fox

<em>B</em> = reported case of rabies is a bat

<em>O</em> = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = <em>x</em>.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, \sum P(X)=1

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30

Thus, the value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

P(A^{c})=1-P(A)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Please answer correctly! I will mark you as Brainliest! Please No links or non correct answers or I will report and call Brainly
erik [133]

Answer:

The answer is (0,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflection of the y-axis means inverted vertically (x will be inverted). This is a linear equation, so the y-intercept will stay the same, while every solution to the equation is inverted on the x-axis.

I swear to you I'm correct, trust.

Solve for x please. I need step-by-step explanation. Thank you. ​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • (7x)^x=7^{7^7}

<u>log both sides:</u>

  • log_7(7x)^x=log_7(7^{7^7})
  • xlog_7(7x)=7^7
  • x(1 +log_7x) = 7*7^6
  • x(1 +log_7x) = 7^6(1+6)
  • x(1 +log_7x) = 7^6(1+log_77^6)

<u>Compare both sides to get:</u>

  • x=7^6

or

  • x=117649

One half gallon is equivalent to 4 pints.how many gallons are the equivalent of 72 pints
malfutka [58]

Answer: 9 gallons

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

Set up the proportion, then multiply to solve for the variable.

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

(72\ \text{pints})\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=(72\ \text{pints)}\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

\dfrac{36\ \text{gallons}}{4}=x}

9 gallons = x

F(x)=-2x^2+4x+5<br> Find the critical numbers
frez [133]

Answer:

To find critical points, take the first derivative and set it equal to zero:

f(x) = -2x^2 + 4x + 5

f'(x) = -4x + 4

-4x+4 = 0

-4x = -4

x = 1

Critical point at x = 1

Alternatively, if you mean zeros, or where the x intersects, you can use the quadratic equation.
