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!!

4. Which of these non-terminating decimals can be converted into a rational number? A. 0.874387438743... B. 0.0000100020003... C
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: A. 0.874387438743.. is  a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number if it can be in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0

Since we can write 0.874387438743... = \frac{8743}{9999}

Where, 8743 and 9999 are integers and 9999≠0

Thus, 0.874387438743... is a rational number.

But, 0.0000100020003... ,  5.891420975..... and 10.07401259... can not be written in the form of p/q therefore they are not the rational number.

Therefore, Only Option A is correct.
