ople with the disease test positive and only 0.4% of the people who don't have it test positive.
A) What is the probability that someone who tests positive has the disease?

Answer:

A)The probability that someone who tests positive has the disease is 0.9995

B)The probability that someone who tests negative does not have the disease is 0.99999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the event that a person has a disease

Let D^c be the event that a person don't have a disease

Let A be the event that a person is tested positive for that disease.

P(D|A) = Probability that someone has a disease given that he tests positive.

We are given that There is an excellent test for the disease; 98.8% of the people with the disease test positive

So, P(A|D)=probability that a person is tested positive given he has a disease = 0.988

We are also given that  one person in 10,000 people has a rare genetic disease.

So,P(D)=\frac{1}{10000}

Only 0.4% of the people who don't have it test positive.

P(A|D^c) = probability that a person is tested positive given he don't have a disease = 0.004

P(D^c)=1-\frac{1}{10000}

Formula:P(D|A)=\frac{P(A|D)P(D)}{P(A|D)P(D^c)+P(A|D^c)P(D^c)}

P(D|A)=\frac{0.988 \times \frac{1}{10000}}{0.988 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000}))+0.004 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000})}

P(D|A)=\frac{2470}{2471}=0.9995

P(D|A)=0.9995

A)The probability that someone who tests positive has the disease is 0.9995

(B)

P(D^c|A^c)=probability that someone does not have disease given that he tests negative

P(A^c|D^c)=probability that a person tests negative given that he does not have disease =1-0.004

=0.996

P(A^c|D)=probability that a person tests negative given that he has a disease =1-0.988=0.012

Formula: P(D^c|A^c)=\frac{P(A^c|D^c)P(D^c)}{P(A^c|D^c)P(D^c)+P(A^c|D)P(D)}

P(D^c|A^c)=\frac{0.996 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000})}{0.996 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000})+0.012 \times \frac{1}{1000}}

P(D^c|A^c)=0.99999

B)The probability that someone who tests negative does not have the disease is 0.99999

What is the equation of the line in point slope form given a slope of -3 and a point of (-2,-5)?​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

y = -3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given slope and point in the point-slope equation. Solving this will give us the y-intercept equation.

Point-slope formula: y - y = m(x - x)

Plug in the slope and point

y - (-5) = -3(x - (-2))

Subtracting negatives will make them positive. Multiply out the -3 to what is in the parentheses.

y + 5 = -3x - 6

Subtract the 5 from both sides

y = -3x - 11

The equation of the line is y = -3x - 11
