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>

Matching each equation of the plecewise function represented in the graph will be:

  • 2 < x < 3 = 3 - x
  • 0 < x < 2 = 1
  • x = 2 = x
  • 3 < x < 5 = 5 - x

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that a domain simply means the set of inputs that are accepted by the function.

In this case, the equation of the piecewise function represented is given.

The graph is attached.
