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).

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

PLEASE HELP {It costs 5,700 every one sixth of an hour to build a hotel how many cents does building a hotel cost per second?}
Keith_Richards [23]
One sixth of an hour is 10 minutes.
That means it costs 5,700 every 10 minutes.

Costs 5,700 = 10 minutes

Dive 10 on both sides.

Costs 570 = 1 minute

Lets convert the minute into seconds.

Costs 570 = 60 seconds

Divide both sides by 60.

Costs 9.5 cents = 1 second

Round it off since you can't pay 9.5 cents.

Costs 10 cents = 1 second

This means that every second they pay 10 cents for the hotel. :D

What was the median number of posts made?
mariarad [96]

Using it's concept, it is found that the median number of posts made was of 8.5.

<h3>What is the median of a data-set?</h3>

The median of the data-set separates the bottom half from the upper half, that is, it is the 50th percentile.

In this problem, the total number of observations is the sum of the frequencies, hence:

T = 1 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 9 = 28

Even number, hence the median is the <u>mean between the 14th and the 15th elements</u>, of the ordered set, hence:

M = (8 + 9)/2 = 8.5.

To remind, the ordered set is: {0, 1, 1, 1, ..., 8, 8, 8,  9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10}

The median number of posts made was of 8.5.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

16/-8=-2

Whenever dividing a -negative number and +positive number= number will be always -

3  3/7 / 1  1/7= 24/7 *7/8= 3 ( Cross out 7 and 7, divide by 1). Cross out 8 and 24 and divide by 8) ( Also always flip over the second fraction only when dividing)

3 3/7= 24/7 because multiply the denominator and whole number. 3*7=21

Add 21 with the numerator (3)= 21+3=24

-12.2 / (-6.1)=2

Whenever dividing two - negative numbers= + positive number

-2 2/5 / 4/5= -12/5*5/4=-3 Cross out 5 and 5- divide by 5. Cross out 4 and -12, divide by 4

Answers:

- 2 = 16/-8=-2

3= 3  3/7 /( dividing )1 1/7= 3

2= -12.2 / (-6.1)=2

-3=-2 2/5 / ( dividing) 4/5=-3
