Tests for tuberculosis like all other diagnostic tests are not perfect. QFT-G is one of such tests for tuberculosis. Suppose tha

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

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost, plug in 10 for x, then simplify

1.5x + 15

1.5(10) + 15

= 30

So, it will cost Johnny $30 to download 10 songs

Under what operations are the set of integers closed? Explain your answer.
Nonamiya [84]
Addition, subtraction, multiplication.

Addition: The addition of two integers produces another integer.

Subtraction: The subtraction of two integers produces another integer.

Multiplication: The product of two integers is an integer.

Division between two integers can produce a rational number that is not in the set of integers e.g. 1/3

This only includes the four basic arithmetic operations, you can include exponentiation and the modulo operation if you want to for the same reasons as above.

A simple random sample of electronic components wil be selected to test for the mean lifetime in hours. Assume that component li
Serjik [45]

Answer:

189 components must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Assume that component lifetimes are normally distributed with population standard deviation of 16 hours.

This means that \sigma = 16

How many components must be sampled so that a 99% confidence interval will have margin of error of 3 hours?

n components must be sampled.

n is found when M = 3. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

3 = 2.575\frac{16}{\sqrt{n}}

3\sqrt{n} = 2.575*16

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*16}{3}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*16}{3})^2

n = 188.6

Rounding up:

189 components must be sampled.

A newspaper provided a​ "snapshot" illustrating poll results from 1910 professionals who interview job applicants. The illustrat
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct option is A) Confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

From the provided information we get the sample size is 1910​ professionals

The illustration showed that​ 26% of them said the biggest interview turnoff is that the applicant did not make an effort to learn about the job or the company. That's mean the point estimate is 26%

The margin of error was given as plus or minus 3±3 percentage points. The margin of error is the confidence interval which is plus or minus 3±3.

Now consider the provided option:

The correct option is A) Confidence level

Because from the above information we know the point estimate is 26% Sample size is 1910 and the confidence interval is 3±3.
