1250 randomly chosen individuals from a certain population are tested for the presence of the HIV virus, and 20 are found to be

carriers of the virus. Based on this information, what is the estimate of P(V), the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population carries the HIV virus?

6 0

Answer:

0.016

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability we have to Divide the number of events by the total number of possible outcomes. This will result in the probability of the single event.

Therefore, the formula of probability is

P(v) = \frac{no of events}{total possible outcomes}\\

In the given case,

P(v) = \frac{20}{1250}\\ P(v) = 0.016

Which is our required answer.

Solve 3^x − 2 = 3^7<br><br> A. 2<br> B. 5<br> C. 7<br> D. 9
Vikki [24]

Answer:

C) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3^x−2=2187

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.

3^x−2+2=2187+2

3^x=2189

Step 2: Solve Exponent.

3^x=2189

log(3x)=log(2189)        <<Take log of both sides

x*(log(3))=log(2189)

x= log(2189)/log(3)

x=7.000832

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Sports players: For people that need high respiratory performance, rises in the pressure may difficult the things, so they would be affected by high pressure because this makes breathing a little bit harder.

Workers in construction and such: People that work a lot with their muscles, in heat environments (road workers, construction workers) may be affected by the same problem as before, and this makes the workers to exhaust in a shorter time than if they worked in a lower pressure environment.

Scientist: A lot of time, some experiments or investigations need a specific pressure to work, so changes in weather pressure may affect investigations, and because the changes are actually uncontrollable, the scientist are really affected by them.
