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

A function and its inverse are shown on the graph. Which statement describes the relationship between the function and its inver
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of function is defined by the set of x-values (input values) and Range of a function is a set of y-values (output values).

From the graph attached,

Domain of f(x) → Set of all real numbers

Range of f(x) → y-values > 0

Domain of f^{-1}(x) → Set of all real numbers

Range of f^{-1}(x) → y < 2

Therefore, domain of both the functions is a set of all real numbers.

Option (B) is the correct option.

Find the Inverse of 3x^3-1=y
Anika [276]
y = 3x^{3} - 1
x = 3y^{3} - 1
3y^{3} = x + 1
y^{3} = \frac{x + 1}{3}

y = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x + 1}{3}}
