It is basically the opposite of a math thingy. For example if you have an adding equation thing, you would have to subtract.

They basically undo each other. Hope this helps!

It is basically the thing that will reverse a certain operation

the operations are add, subtract, multiply divide

the inverses are add and subtract, multiply divide

so
when you add, to reverse it, you must subtract
when you multiply, you have to divide to reverse it
and vice versa
when you subtract, you must add to reverse it
when you divide, you must mulitply to reverse it

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that $p = 0.06$

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$
