Based on data from Bloodjournal.org, 10% of women 65 years of age and older have anemia, which is a deficiency of red blood cell

s. In tests for anemia, blood samples from 8 women 65 and older are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for anemia? Is it likely for such a combined sample to test positive?

Answer:

the probability that the combined sample tests positive for anemia is ≈ 0,38.

Thus it is 38% likely that such a combined sample to test is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined sample tests positive if at least one of the 8 women has anemia.

Let p be the probability that a women 65 years of age and older have anemia

Then p=0.1

The probability that one of the 8 women has anemia and others does not is:

p×p^{7} .

Since there are 8 combinations of this probability is possible, the probability that at least one of the 8 woman has anemia is:

8×p×p^{7} =8×0.1×0.9^{7} ≈ 0,3826

What's the answer to this question
frutty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

there are several things to be considered to solve this.

the strategy is to caucuses the volume of the full "box", and then to deduct the 3-dimensional triangle that is "cut off" from the oil.

then we know the volume of the pool.

next step is to calculate the volume of a "box" with the same layout but is only 20 cm deep.

then we know how much volume can be pumped out in 30 minutes.

and then we divide the whole volume by that small volume to see how many 30-minues units are needed to empty the whole pool.

and then we transform the 30- minutes units into actual minutes or hours.

so, let's begin :

the whole box's volume is

2×1×1.4 = 2.8 m³

the volume of the 3-D triangle we need to subtract is the area of the triangle × width of the pool (this pool width is the height of the 3-D triangle).

2×(1.4 - 0.6) × 1 / 2 = 2×0.8 × 1 / 2 = 1.6/2 = 0.8 m³

so, the volume of the pool is

2.8 - 0.8 = 2 m³

now, how much volume can the pump eliminate in 30 minutes ?

the content of a box

1×2×0.2 = 0.4 m³

as 20 cm = 0.2 m

so, the pump pumps out 0.4 m³ in 30 minutes.

and we need to empty 2 m³.

that means we need

2 / 0.4 = 5

30-minues units = 5×30 = 150 minutes = 2.5 hours.

Colin has to wait 2.5 hours (150 minutes) to empty the complete pool.

Based on the polynomial reminder theorem, what is the value of the function when x= -5
densk [106]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a polynomial in x

F (x)= x^4 + 12x^3 + 30x^2 - 12x + 70

We have to find the remainder when the above polynomial is divided by x+5

Remainder theorem says that f(x) gives remainder R when divided by polynomial x-a means f(a) = R

Applying the above theorem we can say that value of the function when x =-5

= Remainder when f is divided by x+5

= F(-5)

Substitute the value of -5 in place of x

= (-5)^4 + 12(-5)^3 + 30(-5)^2 - 12(-5) + 70

= 625-1500+750+60+70

= 5

Hence answer is 5

Daniel [21]

Answer:

48:29

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets find the ratio without simplest form: the ratio is 96:58

When writing the ratio we write the one mention first

Now lets write it in simplest form practically reducing it to its lowest term

\frac{96}{58}( we first write it as a fraction)

\frac{96}{58}÷\frac{2}{2}=48:29

So the answer is 48:29

evablogger [386]

i would say you need to divide 45 and 3. then subtract 45 and 15. then with those two numbers you need to put the amount from 45 / 3 on the top and the 15-45 on the bottom. you will get the probability.

NemiM [27]

x=m(y-k)^2+h\\\\(h,\ k)-the\ vertex

We have the vertex (-4, -1), therefore we have:

x=(y-(-1))^2-4\ \ \ |+4\\\\(x+4)=(y+1)^2
