A dog allergy test for people a 98% accuracy rate.Only 1% of the population has an allergy to dogs(actually it is much smaller t

han that!). Use a group of 100,000 people who’ve taken this test and the information provided to complete a table and answer the following question:
If you tested negative,what is the probability you do not have a dog allergy?
(Express your answer as decimals rounded to four decimal places.)

Answer:

It is 0.9990

As is 0.0010 as four decimal places. for those that do have which means the same as a negative probability that you don't but reaffirms the situation so inverse of 0.0010 is needed to be 0.9990. so when added together they can become 100% = 1 whole as a probability that both options equal together 1.

When questions ask it negatively using words like don't, haven't, didn't etc. etc.

This question asks for such probability which is similar to percentage in scale for those that do have an allergy.

If the question asked the probability you do have a non allergy the opposite effect happens and we inverse the answer to 99%

But because it asks negatively that you dont have we keep the establishing number of the actual allergy finding because its the same as if you don't.

1% of 100,000 = 1000

1000/100000 = 1/1000

1/1000 = 0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

Once you find 1/1000 is answer to turn numbers into decimals remember the rule 1 = 100

So if 1 = 100

and we want 1/100

1/100 will equal and simplify into 0.01

Where 1/1000 will equal and simplify into 0.001 as the number 100 is extended another digit so would the decimal.

Divide 56 in a ratio of 5:3
Goshia [24]
There are 5 "parts" and 3 "parts"; which total "8 parts" (5 + 3 = 8); so, each part must be 56/8 = 7. so each part must be 56/7 = 8 
<span>5 x 7 is 35</span>
<span>3 x 7 is 21 </span>
___________
So the answer is 35:21 .

The standard IQ test has a mean of 97 and a standard deviation of 17. We want to be
densk [106]

Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97.  But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,

μ = 97

Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions.  This means the standard deviation of the average x is

σ = 17/√n

We want to be 95% certain

97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5

By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that

μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ

Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve

2σ = 5

2 (17/√n) = 5

√n = 2 (17/5)

n = (34/5)² = 46.24

We better round up.

Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean

At the science fair, Tanvi uses 8 fluid ounces of vinegar to make her volcano erupt. How many times can she make her volcano eru
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quart is equivalent to 32 fluid ounces.

If each eruption consumes 8 fluid ounces of vinegar. Assuming that the amount of vinegar required per eruption is constant, the number of times Tanvi can make her volcano erupt is:

n=\frac{32}{8}\\n=4\ times

Tanvi can make her volcano erupt 4 times  with 1 quart of vinegar.
