In a certain community, 8% of all adults over 50 have diabetes. If a health service in this community correctly diagnoses 95% of

all persons with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 2% of all persons without diabetes as having the disease, find the probabilities that
a) the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes.
b) a person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

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

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{6} (x+5)^2-4.5

y=\frac{-1}{20} (x-10)^2+1

Step-by-step explanation:

focus at (-5, -3), and directrix y = -6

Directrix y=-6 so its  a vertical parabola

so equation is

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(h,k) is the center

P is the distance between focus and vertex

distance between focus and directrix = 2p

distance between -3  and y=-6 is 3

2p = 3

p = 3/2 or p = 1.5

Focus is (h, k+p)

given focus is (-5, -3) so h= -5  and k+p = -3

k+p=-3, plug in 1.5 for p

k + 1.5 = -3

subtract 1.5 on both sides

k = -4.5

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(x+5)^2= 4(1.5) (y+4.5)

(x+5)^2= 6(y+4.5)

divide by 6 on both sides

then subtract 4.5 on both sides

y=\frac{1}{6} (x+5)^2-4.5

focus at (10, -4), and directrix y = 6.

Directrix y=6 so its  a vertical parabola

so equation is

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

distance between focus and directrix = 2p

distance between -4  and y=6 is -4-6=-10

2p = -10

p = -5

Focus is (h, k+p)

given focus is (10, -4) so h= 10  and k+p = -4

k+p=-4, plug in 5 for p

k - 5 = -4

add 5 on both sides

k = 1

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(x-10)^2= 4(-5) (y-1)

(x-10)^2= -20(y-1)

divide by -20 on both sides and add 1 on both sides

y=\frac{-1}{20} (x-10)^2+1
