In 1982 John Hinckley was on trial, accused of having attempted to kill the then US President Ronald Reagan. Hinckley was found

not guilty by reason of insanity. The defense psychiatric reports found him to be insane while the prosecution reports declared him legally sane. In particular, the defense sought to establish that brain scan results like John Hinckley's appeared in a higher percentage of schizophrenics than of normal people his age.
During Hinckley's trial, an expert witness, Dr. Weinberger, told the court that when individuals suffering from schizophrenia were given computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans, the scans showed brain atrophy in 30% of cases compared with only 2% of scans done on normal people. Health records show that 1.5% of the people in the United States suffer from schizophrenia. Hinckleys CAT scan showed brain atrophy. Calculate the probability that Hinckley suffered from schizophrenia given his CAT scan showed brain atrophy.

Answer:

O.186 or 18.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = event of schizophrenia

B = brain atrophy

From our question we have:

P(s) = probability of those suffering from schizophrenia = 1.5% = 0.015

P(B|S) = probability of brain atrophy = 30% = 0.30

P(S') = 1 - 0.015 = 0.985

P(B|S') = 2% = 0.02

Probability Hinckley suffered from schizophrenia

= P(S|B) = P(B|S)P(S)/P(B|S)P(S)+P(B|S')P(S')

= (0.30x0.015)/(0.30)*(0.015)+(0.02)(0.985)

= 0.0045/0.0045+0.0197

= 0.0045/0.0242

= 0.185950

This is approximately 0.186 or 18.6%

What is the domain of the function yx4
lutik1710 [3]

The domain of the function is [-4,∞).

Domain is the set of all the possible inputs for which the function is defined.

The given function is:

y = √x+4

It is a radical function. The function is defined if the expression inside the radical greater than or equal to zero.

x+4≥0

Subtract 4 from both the sides.

x+4-4 ≥ 0-4

x ≥ 4

The domain of the function is:

Domain = {xIx ≥ -4} = [-4,∞)

Luiza is jumping on a trampoline. Ht models her distance above the ground (in m) t seconds after she starts
Damm [24]

Answer:

t=2.08 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, in this example, H(t)=-0.6cos(2pi/2.5)t+1.5 should be equal to 1.2. If calculated, -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=1.2-1.5 which is equal to -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=-0.3, then cos(0.8pi)t=0.5. The value of cosine in terms of radians when it is equal to 0.5 is pi/3. So, cos(0.8pi)t=cos(pi/3). If simplified, (0.8pi)*t=5pi/3. pi's are cancelled out and t is calculated as 2.08333... If rounded to the nearest hundredth it is 2.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of library on drawing = 13 inches

Actual length of library = 78 feet

In order to find the scale we divide the actual length by the length of library on drawing.

So, scale = 1 inch = 6 feet

PLEASE HELP (algebra 1)
padilas [110]
A) 6(4)^1-6(4)^0 = 24-6 = 18
    6(4)^3-6(4)^2 = 384-96 = 288
b) It is 27.11 times difference. This is because g(x) is an exponential function and so as x increases, g(x) increases faster.
