Answer:

0.193877

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given to us is

<em><u>Pre-Employment Drug Screening Results</u></em>

                    Positive test result                 Negative test result

                    Drug Use Is Indicated            Drug Use Is Not Indicated

Subject Uses Drugs:            38                                         12

Subject Is Not a drug user: 19                                         29

Now the total of this is = 38+19+12+29= 98

Now the probability of false positive is = 19/98= 0.193877

The <u>Subject Is Not a drug user </u>  would suffer from a false positive. He is not a user and has a positive result.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What is the perimeter of the figure shown on the coordinate plane?
densk [106]
You can look at those dots, for example, you see (2,8) and (2,2) then look at y and the difference is 6. so if you see it like that, (2,8) and (5,8) is 3, (5,8) and (5,4) would be 4, (5,4) and (8,4) would be 3, (8,4) and (8,2) would be 2, and lastly (2,2) and (8,2) is 6
Now you add all of them up which will be 6+3+4+3+2+6 = 24
so the perimeter of this figure is 24<span />
