Answer:

P = 0.300 or 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possibilities for a player to test positive:

1-) He does not take steroids (95%) with a 12% chance of testing positive:

P= 0.95 x 0.12

2-) He does take steroids (5%) with a 98% chance of testing positive:

P= 0.05 x 0.98

So the probability that a player tests positive is:

P = 0.95 x 0.12 + 0.05 x 0.98 =0.163

Therefore, the probability that a soccer player who tests positive takes steroids is:

P= \frac{0.05 * 0.98 }{0.163}\\P=0.300

Solve each equation. Check your answer<br>r/238=8
ozzi
You have to get r by itself on one side. Multiply both sides by 238 to cancel it out of the denominator on the left side.

You are left with r = 8 × 238 or r = 1904.

To check, plug 1904 back into the equation.

1904 ÷ 238 = 8
8 = 8 (True)
