Answer:
I believe it is 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
v = wr
240
= (16)(2
)(r)
r = (240
) / (16)(2
)
r = 7.5 inches
That would actually be written as 5007 divided by 18, not the other way around. 5007 divided by 18 would be rounded to 278.2
Answer:
The probability of testing positive for one is 0.20.
The probability of testing negative for one sample is (1-0.2)=0.8.
We only save time when all five are negative, which has a probability of 0.8^5=0.32768.
This means that the expected number of tests is
combined sample tests negative = 1 with probability 0.32768
combined sample tests positive = 1+5 retests = 6 with probability 0.67232
Expected number of tests
=Σ nipi / n
=(1*0.32768+6*0.67232)/5 [divide by 5 because we tested 5 samples]
= 0.87232 < 1
So yes, there is a saving.
Note: In practice, all medical tests are not absolute, i.e. they give false-positives(α) and false-negatives (β). The ratios 1-α and 1-β are respectively measures of specificity and sensitivity.
These two parameters complicate the simplistic evaluation above.
I believe the answer is 1/3
