Consider this:

If a test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

Then,

if the test is 97& accurate (not precise) for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97& of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is considered a false positive.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (–9, -7) to

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Saving the long, drawn out derivation of the formulas to find the x and y coordinates of the directed point, suffice it to say that it is:

x coordinate: $\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b}$ and

y coordinate: $\frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b}$

where x1, x2, y1, and y2 are the coordinates from the given points and a and b are the numbers in the ratio, namely a = 3 and b = 4. Filling in accordingly:

the x coordinate of the directed point is

$\frac{4(-9)+3(-2)}{7}$ which simplifies down to -6, and

the y coordinate of the directed point is

$\frac{4(-7)+3(7)}{7}$ which simplifies down to -1.

The coordinate of the point is (-6, -1). Write that down so you don't forget it.
