Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a new drug test needs to be evaluated. The probability of a random person taking drugs is 4%.

The drug test tested positive for a person not taking drugs 2% of the time. The drug test tested negative for a person taking drugs 1% of the time.

                          Tested positive     Tested negative       Total

Having drug               0.98                        0.02                  1.00

not hav drug               0.01                        0.99                   1.00

a)            the probability that a random person tests negative

= Prob ( really negative and test negative) + Prob (positive and test negative)

= 0.96*0.99+0.04*0.02=    0.9504+0.0008=0.9512

b) the probability that a person who tests negative is without any drug problems

= \frac{0.9504}{0.9504+0.0008} \\=0.9992

Expand to write an equivalent expression: -1/4(-8x+12y)
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

 

8x -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property. 16 outside wishes to go inside and multiply each term; you get 16x/2 which is 8x minus ¾ of 16 which is 12.

Answer:

  -(√2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression evaluated at n=a gives the indeterminate form 0/0, so L'Hopital's rule can be used to find the limit. The second expression comes from differentiating numerator and denominator. Then the form with n=a is no longer indeterminate.

  \displaystyle\lim_{n\to a}{\frac{\sqrt{2n}-\sqrt{3n-a}}{\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{a}}}=\lim_{n\to a}{\frac{\frac{2}{2\sqrt{2n}}-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3n-a}}}{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{n}}-0}}\\\\=\sqrt{a}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{2a}}-\frac{3}{\sqrt{3a-a}}}\right)=\boxed{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}
