Answer:
Correct option: (B) 1.495%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the events as follows:
<em>X</em> = the test is positive.
<em>A</em> = a person with the dominant allele
The information given are:
According to the law of total probability the probability of an event <em>A, </em>conditional upon the occurrence of another event <em>B</em> is:
Use this law to compute the probability of person having a positive result as follows:
The percentage of positive result is: 0.01495 × 100 = 1.495%.
Thus, the percentage of the population will give a positive test is 1.495%.
Answer:
110.5mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula : a = hb/2
a = 13(17)/2
221/2 = 110.5
Subtract the number she completed from what she had left to paint originally.
The fractions have different denominators so first step is to rewrite the fractions with a common denominator.
23/25 can be rewritten as 92/100
Now you have 78 21/100 - 34 92/100
Because 21/100 is smaller than 92/100 subtract 1 whole number from 78 and rewrite 1 as 100/100 and add that to the fraction.
78 21/100 becomes 77 121/100
Now subtract :
77 121/100 - 34 92/100
77-34 = 43
And 121/100 - 92/100 = 29/100
Combine to get 43 and 29/100
Answer:
a. y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.
__
<h3>slope</h3>
The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...
m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.
__
<h3>equation</h3>
The slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b
We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...
y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

<em>Additional comment</em>
When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.
When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.
