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

petes unpaid credit card balance is 3529.30. His apr is 18.6% and he made one new transaction for 148. what is his new balance
My name is Ann [436]
<span>Previous balance = 3529.30
APR = 18.6%, thus monthly interest rate = 18.6 / 12 = 1.55%
Previous balance + interest = 3529.30(1 + 0.0155) = 3584.00
New balance after transaction = 3584.00 + 148 = 3732.00</span>

Fish tank A
V = Ah = 25 ft^2 * 8 ft = 200 ft^3

Fish tank B
V = Ah = 40 ft^2 * 4 ft = 160 ft^3

The volume of fish tank A is 200 ft^3, and the volume of fish tank B is 160 ft^3, so fish tank A has a greater volume. Its volume is greater by 40 ft^3.

Two lines intersect at a point, forming ​ ∠1 , ∠2 , ∠3 , and​ ​ ∠4 ​ .
Alborosie
The answer is 30. if 1 is 120 then that means 2 is 60 and vertical angles go to 90 so it would have to be 30 to get to 90. I hope this helped:)

Solve for x. Assume that lines which appear to be diameters are actual diameters
VladimirAG [237]
11) The sum of the marked angles is 180°.
  65 +10x -5 = 180
  10x = 120
  x = 12 . . . . . selection D

12) The sum of the marked angles is 360°.
  20x +11 +75 +154 = 360
  20x = 120
  x = 6 . . . . . selection C

13) The marked angles are equal.
  9x +5 = 11x -5
  10 = 2x
  x = 5 . . . . . selection D

14) The sum of the marked angles is 180°.
  16x +116 = 180
  16x = 64
  x = 4 . . . . . selection C
