Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all

ergic to penicillin, Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate. What is the probability that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it?

Let events
A=Nathan has allergy
~A=Nathan does not have allergy
T=Nathan tests positive
~T=Nathan does not test positive

We are given
P(A)=0.75  [ probability that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98  [probability of testing positive given Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]

We want to calculate probability that Nathan is allergic AND tests positive
P(T n A)

From definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A)
substitute known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
solving for P(T n A)
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735

Hope this helps!!

una escalera de 12ft de longitud esta apoyada contra una pared, de modo que su base se encuentra a 4 ft de la pared a nivel del
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Altura = 11.312 pies

i) La escalera que descansa contra la pared formará un triángulo en ángulo recto.

ii) la escalera formará la hipotenusa del triángulo rectángulo dado por h = 12 pies.

iii) La base está dada por 4 pies.

iv) de la fórmula del triángulo en ángulo recto.

   base  = altura = \sqrt{hipotenusa^{2}\hspace{0.15cm}- \hspace{0.15cm} base^{2} }  = \sqrt{12^{2}\hspace{0.15cm} - \hspace{0.15cm}4^{2}  } = \sqrt{144\hspace{0.15cm} - \hspace{0.15cm}16} = \sqrt{128} = \hspace{0.15cm}8\sqrt{2} = 8\times1.414 = 11.312 pies

What are the units for the spring constant, k?
svlad2 [7]
The spring constant, k, in Hooke's Law has units of Newton per meter since it is a constant for the force applied per unit of length. The spring constant measures how strong and stiff the spring is. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Find a three digit number. The tens digit is 3 time the hundreds digit. The sum of the digits is 15. If you reverse the digits,
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

number = 267

Step-by-step explanation:

i am a 3 digit number divisible by 3.

100a + 10b + c

my tens digit is 3 times as great as my hundreds digit

b = 3a, from this we know a = 1, 2, 3, then b = 3, 6, 9

and the sum of my digits is 15.

a + b + c = 15

if you reverse my digits i am divisible by 6 and 3

100c + 10b + a

this is a logic problem, an equation won't help us here

From the given information b = 3a, and the sum of the 3 digits = 15, we have:

1 3 ___; three single digits can't add up to 15

2 6 _7_; this has to be the number

3 9 _3_; reverse number is not different

Check for division by 3 and 6

267/3 = 89

762/6 = 127

267 is the number
