t for the population of adults that is taking the test, 5% have tuberculosis. The test correctly identifies 74.6% of the time adults with a tuberculosis and correctly identifies those without tuberculosis 76.53% of the time. Suppose that POS stands for the test gives a positive result and S means that the adult really has tuberculosis. What is the probability of an adult getting a NEG result and truly having tuberculosis?

Answer:

the probability of an adult getting a NEG result and truly having tuberculosis is 0.0127

Step-by-step explanation:

S = the adult really has tuberculosis.

S' = complement of S = the adult does not has tuberculosis.

POS = the test gives a positive result

P(S)= 0.05

P(POS | S)=0.746

P(NEG | S')= 0.7653

this is an intersection because the "and" word

P(NEG ∩ S) =  P(NEG| S)*P(S)=(1-P(POS | S))*P(S)=(1-0.746)*0.05=0.0127

A tank currently holds 5 gallons of water. It is being filled at the rate of 1/4 gallon per minute. How long will it take for th
Verdich [7]
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.

If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.

4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.

This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.
