All bags entering a research facility are screened. Ninety-seven percent of the bags that contain forbidden material trigger an

alarm. Fifteen percent of the bags that do not contain forbidden material also trigger the alarm. If 1 out of every 1,000bags entering the building contains forbidden material, what is the probabilitythat a bag that triggers the alarm will actually contain forbidden material?(a) 0.00097(b) 0.00640(c) 0.03000(d) 0.14550(e) 0.97000

Answer:

(b) 0.00640

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

P(A|F) = The probability of bags that contain forbidden material trigger an alarm = 0.97 or 97%

P(A| not F)= The probability of bags that do not contain forbidden material also trigger the alarm= 0.15 or 15%

P(F) = the probability that a bag contain forbidden material = 0.001

P(not F) = the probability that a bag does not contain forbidden material = 0.999

Then P(A)= P(F) × P(A|F)  + P(not F)  × P(A| not F) = 0.001×0.97 + 0.999×0.15 = 0.15082

Then the probability that a bag that triggers the alarm will actually contain forbidden material =P(F|A)=\frac{P(F)*P(A|F)}{P(A)}

=\frac{0.001*0.97}{0.15064} ≈ 0.0064

the area of a square whose sides have length x cm is increasing at the rate of 12cm²/s. how fast is the length of a side increas
katovenus [111]

Answer:

0.67 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is given by :

A=x^2 ....(1)

Where

x is the side of a square

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=12\ cm^2/s

Differentiating equation (1) wrt t.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2x\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}

When A = 81cm²​, the side of the square, x = 9 cm

Put all the values,

12=2\times 9\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0.67\ cm/s

So, the length of the side of a square is changing at the rate of 0.67 cm/s.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The mean number of scores per game is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we can find the mean by adding all the numbers and dividing them by many numbers there were. Once you add 8, 14, 4, 7, 6, 4, and 7, you will get 64. Since there were 8 numbers, you divide 64 by 8 to get 8.
