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.

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two size: the combined weight of a large box and a small box is 65 pounds. The truck i
Bas_tet [7]

pretty much about the same as before.

a = weight of a large box

b = weight of a small box.

we know their combined weight is 65 lbs, thus a + b = 65.

we also know that the truck has 60 large ones, and 55 small ones, thus 60*a is the total weight for the large ones and 55*b is the total weight for the small ones, and we know that is a total of 3775, 60a + 55b = 3775.

\bf \begin{cases} a+b=65\\ \boxed{b}=65-a\\ \cline{1-1} 60a+55b=3775 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{60a+55\left( \boxed{65-a} \right)=3775} \\\\\\ 60a+3575-55a=3775\implies 5a+3575=3775\implies 5a=200 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies \blacktriangleright a = 40 \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=65-a\implies }b=65-40\implies \blacktriangleright b=25\blacktriangleleft

A radio arm saw has a circular cutting blade with a diameter of 10 inches and it spins at 2000rpm if there are 12 cutting teeth
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

12565.11 teeth approximately cut cross the cutting surface per seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the diameter is 10inches, the circumference of the arm saw is 10π (circumference is πd where d is diameter).

The number of teeth on the cutting blade can be gotten by multiplying the diameter by 12 since we have 12 teeth per inch on the arm saw

Number of teeth on saw = 12 x 10π = 120π.

To get the number of teeth that cross the cutting surface in 2000rpm we multiple it by the total number of teeth in just one rpm.

So we have 2000 x 120π. But since we are asked to find it in revolution per seconds then 2000r/m = 2000r/60s ≈ 33.33

Therefore, we have

33.33 x 120π ≈ 12565.11 teeth
