Answer:

B. <em>0.03</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A blood test to detect prostate cancer in men gives a positive result 96% of the time if a person has prostate cancer.

This means the test detects 96% times correctly that the person has cancer. In the remaining i.e 4% times it detects incorrectly, which means the person has not cancer but he is detected that he has cancer. This is the case of false negative.

It is 97% accurate for people who do not have the disease.

This means the test detects 97% times correctly that the person doesn't have cancer. In the remaining i.e 3% times it detects incorrectly, which means the person has cancer but he is not detected that he has cancer. This is the case of false positive.

Find a quadratic function that includes the set of values below.<br> (0,9). (2,15) (3,12)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

f(x) = -2x^2 + 7x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c\\f(0) = 9 => c = 9;\\f(2) = 15 = 4a + 2b + 9  2a + b  = 3\\f(3) = 9a + 3b + 9 = 12  3a + b = 1\\Subtract the second equation from the first:\\-a = 2 => a = -2; b = 7; c = 9\\f(x) = -2x^2 + 7x + 9
