Answer:
Options (A) and (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the given division as,
Option (A)
When (2x² + 6x - 8) is divided (x + 5), the remainder is 12.
True.
Option (B)
When (2x² + 6x - 8) is divided (x - 5), the remainder is 12.
False.
Option (C)
When x = 5,
2x² + 6x - 8 = 12
2(5)² + 6(5) - 8 = 50 + 30 - 8
= 72
False.
Option (D)
When x = -5,
2(-5)² + 6(-5) - 8 = 50 - 30 - 8
= 12
True.
Option (E)
(x - 5) is a factor of 2x² + 6x - 8
If (x - 5) is a factor value of 2x² + 6x - 8 should be zero.
False.
Option (F)
(x + 5) is a factor of 2x² + 6x - 8
If (x + 5) is a factor then by substituting x = -5 in the expression value should be zero.
But the value is 12.
False.
Answer:
Given that a person was identified as a future terrorist, there is a 2.8544% probability that he/she actually is a future terrorist.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 1000 future terrorists in a population of 300,000,000. So the probability that a randomly selected person in this population is a terrorist is:
So, we have these following probabilities:
A 99.9997% probability that a randomly chosen person is not a terrorist.
A 0.0003% probability that a randomly chosen person is a terrorist.
A 98% probability that a future terrorist is correctly identified
A 99.9% chance of correctly identifying someone who is not a future terrorist. This also means that there is a 0.01% probability of someone who is not a terrorist being identified as one.
This can be formulated as the following problem:
What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.
It can be calculated by the following formula
Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.
Here we have:
What is the probability that the person is a terrorist, given that she was identified as a terrorist.
P(B) is the probability that the person is a terrorist. So
P(A/B) is the probability that the person was identified as a terrorist, given that she is a terrorist. The problem states that the system has a 98% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist, so
P(A) is the probability of a person being a identified as a terrorist. So
is the probability that a person is a terrorist and was identified as one. So:
is the probability that a person is not a terrorist and, but was identified as one. So:
So
The answer is:
Given that a person was identified as a future terrorist, there is a 2.8544% probability that he/she actually is a future terrorist.
