The test to detect the presence of the hepatitis B virus is 97% accurate for a person who has the disease and 99% accurate for a

person who does not have the disease. If 0.55% of the people in a given population are infected, what is the probability that a randomly chosen person gets an incorrect result?. . 0.98455. . 0.000165. . 0.009945. . 0.001011

The probability tests to detect the presence of hepatitis B:
P (presence)= 0.97 (true)  0.03 (false)
P (absence)= 0.99 (true)  0.01 (false)

P(infected)=0.0055
P(not infected)= 0.9945

To have an incorrect result:
P[infected and false from P(presence)] + P[not infected and false from P(absence)]

=0.0055*0.03+0.9945*0.01= 0.01011

The answer is<span> 0.01011 </span>

A storage tank will have a circular base of radius r and a height of r. The tank can be either cylindrical or hemispherical​ (ha
Neko [114]

Answer:

Volume: \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

Ratio: \frac{2}{9}r

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the hemispherical tank.

The volume of a sphere is given by:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

where

r is the radius of the sphere

V is the volume

Here, we have a hemispherical tank: a hemisphere is exactly a sphere cut in a half, so its volume is half that of the sphere:

V'=\frac{V}{2}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{2}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

Now we want to find the ratio between the volume of the hemisphere and its surface area.

The surface area of a sphere is

A=4 \pi r^2

For a hemisphere, the area of the curved part of the surface is therefore half of this value, so 2\pi r^2. Moreover, we have to add the surface of the base, which is \pi r^2. So the total surface area of the hemispherical tank is

A'=2\pi r^2 + \pi r^2 = 3 \pi r^2

Therefore, the ratio betwen the volume and the surface area of the hemisphere is

\frac{V'}{A'}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3}{3\pi r^2}=\frac{2}{9}r
