Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Given:

Let A is the event of a person over 50 diagnosed by health service.

B1 is the event that an adult over 50 actually has diabetes.

B2 is the event that an adult over 50 does not have diabetes.

P (B1) = 8% = 0.08

And P (B2) = 1 – P (B1)

                  = 1 – 0.08

                  = 0.92

Correctly diagnose of all persons with diabetes= 95%

P (A/B1) = 0.95

Incorrectly diagnose of all persons without diabetes=   2%

P (A/B2) = 0.02

(a) ) the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes.

P (B1) P (A/B1) = (0.08) (0.95) = 0.076

P (B2) p (A/B2) = (0.92) (0.02) =0.0184

P (B1) P (A/B1) + P (B2) p (A/B2) =  0.076 + 0.0184

                                                     = 0.0944

(b)  A person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

By using formula:

P (B1/A) = P (B1) P (A/B1) / P (B1) P(A/B1) + P (B2) P (A/B2)

Put all the given values:

= (0.08) (0.95) / (0.08) (0.95) + (0.92) (0.02)

=0.076 / 0.076 + 0.0184

=0.076 / 0.0944

= 0.8050

How are liquid assets different from other assets?What is the main difference in the way that "earned income" and "capital gains
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: All assets represent money, but only liquid assets can be easily turned into spendable money.

Earned income is money you received for a job performed and capital gains are profits from investments.

Step-by-step explanation: Because this is the definition of liquid assets: A liquid asset is cash on hand or an asset that can be readily converted to cash. An asset that can readily be converted into cash is similar to cash itself because the asset can be sold with little impact on its value.

-Earned income refers to salary, bonuses, commissions, tips that you receive because of a job that you have done from an employer or your business.

-Capital gains  refer to money that you receive because of the sale of a capital asset like stocks or real estate.

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 346. if the width of the garden is 79 feet, what is its length?
Nostrana [21]
Perimeter = L + L + W + W
346 = L + L + 79 + 79
346 = L + L + 158
346 - 158 = L + L  158 -158
188 = L + L
So im gonna square root 188
188 ( square rooted) = 13.7113092.....
Im gonna round it so the lengths gonna be 
≈ 13.7
