A new medical test provides a false positive result for hepatitis 2% of the time that is a perfectly healthy subject being teste

Oxana [17]

Given that X be the number of subjects who test positive for the disease out of the 30 healthy subjects used for the test.

The probability of success, i.e. the probability that a healthy subject tests positive is given as 2% = 0.02

Part A:

The probability that all 30 subjects will appropriately test as not being infected, that is the probability that none of the healthy subjects will test positive is given by:

 $P(X)={ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}} \\ \\ P(0)={ ^{30}C_0(0.02)^0(1-0.02)^{30-0}} \\ \\ =1(1)(0.98)^{30}=0.5455$


Part B:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by

 $\mu=np \\ \\ =30(0.02) \\ \\ =0.6$

The standard deviation is given by:

 $\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(1-0.02)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(0.98)}=\sqrt{0.588} \\ \\ =0.7668$


Part C:

This test will not be a trusted test in the field of medicine as it has a standard deviation higher than the mean. The testing method will not be consistent in determining the infection of hepatitis.

A submarine started at 750 meters below sea level. It rose 50 meters per hour over a 4-hour period. Which expression represents

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$y(t) = 750 -50t$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to model the position of the submarine as a function of time.

Notice that we have a constant amount. The initial depth: 750 meters

Then we have a factor that varies over time. Every hour the submarine ascends 50 meters. therefore as t increases the depth y(t) of the submarine decreases. Then the factor is:

-50t.

Where t represents the time in hours.

Then the equation that represents the new position of the submarine in relation to the level of the sea:

$y(t) = 750 -50t$
