Answer:
y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777
Step-by-step explanation:
We already know the slope, so the only thing left to find is the y-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, we can <u>plug in the slope and point to the slope-intercept form equation</u> (y = mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int.)
y = m * x + b
(7) = (-8/9)*(-7) + b
<u>Now, just solve for b!</u>
(7) = (-8/9)*(-7) + b
7 = 56/9 + b
7 - (56/9) = b
b = 0.777777 (repeating decimal, usually signified by a little line above the 7)
so now we just <u>plug in the slope and y-intercept we found into y = mx + b.</u>
y = mx + b
y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777
Step-by-step explanation:

1 5/8 = 13/8
(13/8)/14 = .116 or 13/112
.116 (26) = 3.016 or 169/56
Answer:
The percent of the people who tested positive actually have the disease is 38.64%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the events as follows:
<em>X</em> = a person has the disease
<em>P</em> = the test result is positive
<em>N</em> = the test result is negative
Given:

Compute the value of P (P|X) as follows:

Compute the probability of a positive test result as follows:

Compute the probability of a person having the disease given that he/she was tested positive as follows:

The percentage of people having the disease given that he/she was tested positive is, 0.3864 × 100 = 38.64%.
