Answer:

0.125 or 1/8k

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is .5, and 3/8 is .375

Subtract the two and you get 0.125, which is 1/8 in decimal form

$C(5,4)(.40)^4(1-.40)^1=5(.4)^4(.6)^1=0.0768$

That's 7.68% = 7.7% (rounded)

Note: C(5, 4) is the number of combinations of 5 things taken 4 at a time. You may have seen this written as $_5C_4$

In general, $C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

What is the probability that a random person who tests positive for a certain blood disease actually has the disease, if we know

xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Any medical test used to detect certain sicknesses have several probabilities associated with their results.

Positive (test is +) ⇒ P(+)

True positive (test is + and the patient is sick) ⇒ P(+ ∩ S)

False-positive (test is + but the patient is healthy) ⇒P(+ ∩ H)

Negative (test is -) ⇒ P(-)

True negative (test is - and the patient is healthy) ⇒ P(- ∩ H)

False-negative (test is - but the patient is sick) ⇒ P(- ∩ S)

The sensibility of the test is defined as the capacity of the test to detect the sickness in sick patients (true positive rate).

⇒ P(+/S) = P(+ ∩ S)

P(S)

The specificity of the test is the capacity of the test to have a negative result when the patients are truly healthy (true negative rate)

⇒ P(-/H) = P(- ∩ H)

P(H)

For this particular blood disease the following probabilities are known:

1% of the population has the disease: P(S)= 0.01

95% of those who are sick, test positive for it: P(+/S)= 0.95 (sensibility of the test)

2% of those who don't have the disease, test positive for it: P(+/H)= 0.02

The probability of a person having the blood sickness given that the test was positive is:

P(S/+)= P(+ ∩ S)

P(+)

The first step you need to calculate the intersection between both events + and S, for that you will use the information about the sickness prevalence in the population and the sensibility of the test:

P(+/S) = P(+ ∩ S)

P(S)

P(+/S)* P(S) = P(+ ∩ S)

P(+ ∩ S) = 0.95*0.01= 0.0095

The second step is to calculate the probability of the test being positive:

P(+)= P(+ ∩ S) + P(+ ∩ H)

Now we know that 1% of the population has the blood sickness, wich means that 99% of the population doesn't have it, symbolically: P(H)= 0.99

Then you can clear the value of P(+ ∩ H):

P(+/H) = P(+ ∩ H)

P(H)

P(+/H)*P(H) = P(+ ∩ H)

P(+ ∩ H) = 0.02*0.99= 0.0198

Next you can calculate P(+):

P(+)= P(+ ∩ S) + P(+ ∩ H)= 0.0095 + 0.0198= 0.0293

Now you can calculate the asked probability:

P(S/+)= P(+ ∩ S) = 0.0095 = 0.32

P(+) 0.0293

I hope it helps!

By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than . If the base of a ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public

choli [55]

Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is lacking an information. Here is the correct question.

"By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than 4.76 degrees. If the base of the ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public building, which equation could be used to determine the maximum height, h, of the ramp where it reaches the building's entrance"

The whole set up will give us a right angled triangle with the base of the building serving as the adjacent side of the triangle and the height h serving as the opposite side since it is facing the angle 4.76°

The side of the wheelchair service ramp is the hypotenuse.

Given theta = 4.76°

And the base of the building = adjacent = 15feet

We can get the height of the building using the trigonometry identity SOH CAH TOA.

Using TOA

Tan(theta) = opposite/Adjacent

Tan 4.76° = h/15

h = 15tan4.76°

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°
