A certain disease occurs most frequently among older women. Of all age groups, women in their 60s have the highest rate of breas

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a set be events that have occurred be denoted as:

S = {A₁, A₂, A₃,..., Aₙ}

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event, say Aₙ given that another event, say X has already occurred is given by:

$P(A_{n}|X)=\frac{P(X|A_{n})P(A_{n})}{\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(X|A_{i})P(A_{i})}}$

The disease Breast cancer is being studied among women of age 60s.

Denote the events as follows:

B = a women in their 60s has breast cancer

+ = the mammograms detects the breast cancer

The information provided is:

$P(B) = 0.0312\\P(+|B)=0.81\\P(+|B^{c})=0.92$

Compute the value of P (B|+) using the Bayes' theorem as follows:

$P(B|+)=\frac{P(+|B)P(B)}{P(+|B)P(B)+P(+|B^{c})P(B^{c})}$

$=\frac{(0.81\times 0.0312)}{(0.81\times 0.0312)+(0.92\times (1-0.0312)}\\$

$=\frac{0.025272}{0.025272+0.891296}$

$=0.02757\\\approx0.0276$

Thus, the probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

For what value of c is the function defined below continuous on (-\infty,\infty)?

kozerog [31]

$f(x)= \left \{ {{x^2-c^2,x \ \textless \ 4} \atop {cx+20},x \geq 4} \right
$

It's clear that for x not equal to 4 this function is continuous. So the only question is what happens at 4.
A function, f, is continuous at x = 4 if
 $\lim_{x \rightarrow 4} \ f(x) = f(4)$

In notation we write respectively
 $\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) \ \ \ \text{ and } \ \ \ \lim_{x \rightarrow 4+} f(x)$

Now the second of these is easy, because for x > 4, f(x) = cx + 20. Hence limit as x --> 4+ (i.e., from above, from the right) of f(x) is just 4c + 20.

On the other hand, for x < 4, f(x) = x^2 - c^2. Hence
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} (x^2 - c^2) = 16 - c^2$

Thus these two limits, the one from above and below are equal if and only if
4c + 20 = 16 - c²
Or in other words, the limit as x --> 4 of f(x) exists if and only if
4c + 20 = 16 - c²

$c^2+4c+4=0
\\(c+2)^2=0
\\c=-2$

That is to say, if c = -2, f(x) is continuous at x = 4.

Because f is continuous for all over values of x, it now follows that f is continuous for all real nubmers $(-\infty, +\infty)$

three tanks are capable of holding 108 litres, 168 litres and 180 litres of milk. determine the capacity of the greatest vessel

SpyIntel [72]

A vessel of 7,560 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

This means finding the Least Common Multiple for;

108 168 180

We begin by finding the multiples of each number;

Multiples of 108:

108, 216, 324, 432, 540, 648, 756, 864, 972, 1080, 1188, 1296, 1404, 1512, 1620, 1728, 1836, 1944, 2052, 2160, 2268, 2376, 2484, 2592, 2700, 2808, 2916, 3024, 3132, 3240, 3348, 3456, 3564, 3672, 3780, 3888, 3996, 4104, 4212, 4320, 4428, 4536, 4644, 4752, 4860, 4968, 5076, 5184, 5292, 5400, 5508, 5616, 5724, 5832, 5940, 6048, 6156, 6264, 6372, 6480, 6588, 6696, 6804, 6912, 7020, 7128, 7236, 7344, 7452, 7560, 7668, 7776

Multiples of 168:

168, 336, 504, 672, 840, 1008, 1176, 1344, 1512, 1680, 1848, 2016, 2184, 2352, 2520, 2688, 2856, 3024, 3192, 3360, 3528, 3696, 3864, 4032, 4200, 4368, 4536, 4704, 4872, 5040, 5208, 5376, 5544, 5712, 5880, 6048, 6216, 6384, 6552, 6720, 6888, 7056, 7224, 7392, 7560, 7728, 7896

Multiples of 180:

180, 360, 540, 720, 900, 1080, 1260, 1440, 1620, 1800, 1980, 2160, 2340, 2520, 2700, 2880, 3060, 3240, 3420, 3600, 3780, 3960, 4140, 4320, 4500, 4680, 4860, 5040, 5220, 5400, 5580, 5760, 5940, 6120, 6300, 6480, 6660, 6840, 7020, 7200, 7380, 7560, 7740, 7920

The Least Common Multiple for the 3 number is;

= 7560

Therefore a vessel of 7,560 liters fills each one of them an exact number of times with no remainder.

Find the measure of the exterior angle.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

108 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram we are given

Interior angles are 2x + 1 and 63 degrees

Exterior angle = 5x -2

The sum of interior angles is equal to the exterior angle

2x + 1 + 63 = 5x - 2

2x + 64 = 5x - 2

2x - 5x = -2-64

-3x = -66

x = -66/-3

x = 22

Get the exterior angle:

Exterior angle = 5x-2

Exterior angle = 5(22) - 2

Exterior angle = 110-2

Exterior angle = 108 degrees

Hence the measure of the exterior angle is 108 degrees
