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.

-6x-5x

-1x

Multiply -1 on both sides.

⦁ Evaluate ⦁ 6! ⦁ 8P5 ⦁ 12C4
lisabon 2012 [21]
6! = 6 * 5 *4*3*2*1 =720

8p5 = 8*7*6*5*4 = 6720

12C4 = (12p4)/4! = (12*11*10*9)/4*3*2*1 = 495

Write a two-columm proof
Nastasia [14]

Both angles 2x+6 and 96 shown are vertically opposite angles and vertically opposite angles are always equal

so 2x+6 should be equal to 96

so 2x + 6 = 96

Now we have to solve for x here and have to get x by itself on left hand side

So first get rid of +6 by doing its opposite -6 on both sides

2x + 6 -6 = 96 -6

2x = 90

Now to get x by itself we have to get rid of 2, for that divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{90}{2}

x = 45

Hence proved that x = 45
