Lupus is a medical phenomenon where antibodies that are supposed to attack foreign cells to prevent infections instead see plasm

a proteins as foreign bodies, leading to a high risk of blood clotting. It is believed that 2% of the population suffer from this disease. The test is 98% accurate if a person actually has the disease. The test is 74% accurate if a person does not have the disease.
If an individual tests positive for lupus, what is the probability that this is a false positive? (In other words, what is the probability of an individual not having lupus, given that they received a positive test result?)

Do not give your answer as a percentage chance, but rather as a decimal probability (i.e., 0.xxx).

Korolek [52]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: the answer should be lower than because this is the percentage of people who get diagnosed with a disease that is not lupus 0.465 so about 50% or 0.5 hopefully that help I don't know the answer for the amount of people who don't have it and get misdiagnosed there is no information on it based on what I've seen  

Step-by-step explanation: Its based on a study from the Lupus Foundation of America

Which of the following functions are homomorphisms?
Vikentia [17]
Part A:

Given f:Z \rightarrow Z, defined by f(x)=-x

f(x+y)=-(x+y)=-x-y \\  \\ f(x)+f(y)=-x+(-y)=-x-y

but

f(xy)=-xy \\  \\ f(x)\cdot f(y)=-x\cdot-y=xy

Since, f(xy) ≠ f(x)f(y)

Therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.



Part B:

Given f:Z_2 \rightarrow Z_2, defined by f(x)=-x

Note that in Z_2, -1 = 1 and f(0) = 0 and f(1) = -1 = 1, so we can also use the formular f(x)=x

f(x+y)=x+y \\  \\ f(x)+f(y)=x+y

and

f(xy)=xy \\  \\ f(x)\cdot f(y)=xy

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.



Part C:

Given g:Q\rightarrow Q, defined by g(x)= \frac{1}{x^2+1}

g(x+y)= \frac{1}{(x+y)^2+1} = \frac{1}{x^2+2xy+y^2+1}  \\  \\ g(x)+g(y)= \frac{1}{x^2+1} + \frac{1}{y^2+1} = \frac{y^2+1+x^2+1}{(x^2+1)(y^2+1)} = \frac{x^2+y^2+2}{x^2y^2+x^2+y^2+1}

Since, f(x+y) ≠ f(x) + f(y), therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.



Part D:

Given h:R\rightarrow M(R), defined by h(a)=  \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)

h(a+b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-(a+b)&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a-b&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right) \\  \\ h(a)+h(b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)+ \left(\begin{array}{cc}-b&0\\b&0\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-a-b&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right)

but

h(ab)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-ab&0\\ab&0\end{array}\right) \\  \\ h(a)\cdot h(b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)\cdot \left(\begin{array}{cc}-b&0\\b&0\end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}ab&0\\-ab&0\end{array}\right)

Since, h(ab) ≠ h(a)h(b), therefore, the funtion is not a homomorphism.



Part E:

Given f:Z_{12}\rightarrow Z_4, defined by \left([x_{12}]\right)=[x_4], where [u_n] denotes the lass of the integer u in Z_n.

Then, for any [a_{12}],[b_{12}]\in Z_{12}, we have

f\left([a_{12}]+[b_{12}]\right)=f\left([a+b]_{12}\right) \\  \\ =[a+b]_4=[a]_4+[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)+f\left([b]_{12}\right)

and

f\left([a_{12}][b_{12}]\right)=f\left([ab]_{12}\right) \\ \\ =[ab]_4=[a]_4[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)f\left([b]_{12}\right)

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.

Find the measure of each angle (in degrees) of
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

∠A = 88°

∠B = 92°

∠C = 88°

∠D = 92°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A + ∠B = 180°

(2x + 4) + (3x - 34) = 180

reduce:

5x - 30 = 180

5x = 210

x = 42

∠A = 2(42) + 4 = 88°

∠B = 3(42) -34 = 92°

∠C = ∠A = 88°

∠D = ∠B = 92°
