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 for a. Please help!
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special trig triangles. Special trig triangles are identified by their angle measures and their sides have a unique relationship. This is a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle which has sides 1 - √3 - 2 or multiples of this. This means all 30 - 60 - 90 triangles have side lengths with the pattern 1 - √3 - 2. Here the triangle has a - 7√√3 - 14. The value of a is 7 since 7*√3 = 7√3 and 2*7 = 14.
