Suppose an employee is suspected of having used an illegal drug and is given two tests that operate independently of each other.

Test A has probability 0.91 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used. Test B has probability 0.88 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used. The company requires that an employee, Al Capone, take and pass both tests to keep his job. Assume that Al has, in fact, been using the illegal drug. What is the probability that neither test is positive (and thus Al gets to keep his job)

Answer:

<em>The probability that neither test is positive</em>

<em>P(A⁻ ∩ B⁻ ) = 0.0108</em>

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

<u><em>Step(i) :</em></u>-

Given  the two tests are independently

<em>Test A has probability 0.91 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used</em>

<em>P(A) = 0.91</em>

<em>Test B has probability 0.88 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used</em>

<em>P(B) = 0.88</em>

If   events are independently then ,

P(A n B) = P(A) P(B)

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<em>The probability that neither test is positive (and thus Al gets to keep his job)</em>

<em></em>P(A^{-} n B^{-} ) = P(A^{-} ) P(B^{-} )<em></em>

<em>P(A⁻ ∩ B⁻ ) = P(A⁻ ) P(B⁻ )</em>

<em>                   = ( 1- P(A) ) ( 1 - P(B))</em>

<em>                  =  (1 - 0.91 ) ( 1 - 0.88 )</em>

<em>                 = (0.09) (0.12)</em>

<em>                = 0.0108</em>

<em>The probability that neither test is positive</em>

<em>P(A⁻ ∩ B⁻ ) = 0.0108</em>

x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{4},\:x=-\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{4}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(4x^2+7x-1\right)=\left(4+x\right)\\\mathrm{Refine}\\4x^2+7x-1=4+x\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\4x^2+7x-1-x=4+x-x\\Simplify\\4x^2+6x-1=4\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\4x^2+6x-1-4=4-4\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\4x^2+6x-5=0\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=4,\:b=6,\:c=-5:\\\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4\times \:4\left(-5\right)}}{2\times \:4}

\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2-4\times \:4\left(-5\right)}}{2\times \:4}\\=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2+4\times \:4\times \:5}}{2\times \:4}\\=\frac{-6+\sqrt{116}}{2\times \:4}\\=\frac{-6+\sqrt{116}}{8}\\\\Let\: simplify\: ; -6+2\sqrt{29}\\=-2\times \:3+2\sqrt{29}\\=2\left(-3+\sqrt{29}\right)\\=\frac{2\left(-3+\sqrt{29}\right)}{8}\\=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{4}\\

\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2-4\times \:4\left(-5\right)}}{2\times \:4}\\\\=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2+4\times \:4\times \:5}}{2\times \:4}\\\\=\frac{-6-\sqrt{116}}{2\times \:4}\\\\=\frac{-6-2\sqrt{29}}{8}\\\\=-\frac{2\left(3+\sqrt{29}\right)}{8}\\\\=-\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{4}\\\\\\x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{4},\:x=-\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{4}

12. Determine the area of the shaded region. 12 in 12 in​
vekshin1

Answer:

  • 216/7 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circles
  • Radius of circle = 3 in
  • Area of circle = πr²
  • Area of square = s²

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circles
  • => Area of shaded region = (12²) - 4(22/7 x 3 x 3)
  • => Area of shaded region = (144) - 4(22/7 x 9)
  • => Area of shaded region = (144) - 4(198/7)
  • => Area of shaded region = 144 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 144 x 7/7 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 1008/7 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 1008/7 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 216/7 in²

If a globe rotates 150 degrees in 5 seconds, how many rotations does it make in 30 seconds? I got 900 seconds for my answer am I
Maksim231197 [3]

Start with a proportion, to get the number of degrees in 30 seconds:

         (150 degrees / 5 seconds) = ('D' degrees / 30 seconds) .

Cross multiply the proportion:  (150 x 30) = 5 x D

                                                     4,500  =  5 x D

Divide each side by  5 :                  900 = D

The globe turns 900 degrees in 30 seconds.

How many rotations is that ?
Each rotation is 360 degrees.
So 900 degrees is
                               (900 / 360) = <em>2.5 rotations</em> in 30 seconds.
