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>

A line contains the points (8, 5) and (6, 15).
Olenka [21]

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given as :

m=\frac{y_{2} }{x_{2}} - \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

x_{1} = 8

x_{2} = 6

y_{1} = 5

y_{2} = 15

substituting into the formula , we have

m = \frac{15-5}{6-8}

m = \frac{10}{-2}

m = -5

Therefore the slope is -5

Wich is greater 500 seconds or 8 minutes
ohaa [14]
500 seconds is greater. Since there are 60 seconds in one minute you would multiply 60 and 8. 
60x8= 480
