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

I need help with number 3 please and thank you

So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.

2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!

We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.

Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!

2 x 28 = 56.

So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.

The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.

Hope this helps!
If you're confused about anything leave me a reply and I'll try to explain the best that I can!

A torch and a battery cost £2.50 altogether. The torch costs £2.00 more than the battery.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what fraction of the total price the battery is, we need to find out how much the battery alone is first.

Since the battery and torch together are £2.50 and the torch is £2.00, we can find the price of the battery by subtracting the total price to the price of the torch.

Battery Price = £2.50 - £2.00

Battery Price = £0.50

The fraction value of the torch is:

2.00 of 2.50 = 4/5

That then leaves us with:

0.50 of 2.50 = 1/5

To check we need to add the two fractions together.

1/5 + 4/5 = 5/5 or 1

I did the first one but can you help me with the second one plz??
yanalaym [24]

the only like-terms are on the right-hand-side, since the left-hand-side has only 1 term anyway.

\bf \cfrac{5}{2}s=\cfrac{3}{2}s+s\implies \cfrac{5}{2}s=\cfrac{3}{2}s+\cfrac{s}{1}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}s=\stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 2}}{\cfrac{(1)3s+(2)s}{2}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{5}{2}s=\cfrac{3s+2s}{2}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}s = \cfrac{5}{2}s
