Answer:

The probability that Nancy draws the letter B from one box and the number 2 from the other box is:

\dfrac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of drawing a slip of paper from one box is independent of drawing a piece of slip from the other.

Let first box contain five slips of paper, each with one of the letters A, B, C, D, or E written on it.

This means that the probability of drawing B is:

ratio of the number of slips containing B to the total number of slips.

i.e.

P(Drawing\ B)=\dfrac{1}{5}

Second box has four slips of paper, each with one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4 written on it.

This means that the probability of drawing number 2 is:

ratio of the number of slips containing number 2 to the total number of slips.

i.e.

P(Drawing\ 2)=\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence,

P(drawing\ B\ and\ number\ 2)=P(drawing\ B)\times P(drawing\ 2)\\\\i.e.\\P(drawing\ B\ and\ number\ 2)=\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\P(drawing\ B\ and\ number\ 2)=\dfrac{1}{20}

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{1}{20}

Which word best describes the degree of overlap between the two data sets? Low, High, None, Moderate
zlopas [31]

Answer:

In case of data set given with the question, the word that best describes the degree of overlap between the two data sets is low.

Step-by-step explanation:

Overlapping of two data sets means they contain common data or they have common elements in them.  

In case of given data set, the elements are represented by 'x'.

If we compare both, the elements at line 30 and 35 overlap.

We conclude that out of 15 elements in each data set,  only two of them overlaps. Hence the degree of overlap is low.

HELLLPPPPPPP .... The probabilities of a test are represented by I for infected; U, uninfected; D, infection detected; and N, no
Dominik [7]

Answer:

P(I⋂D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbolic way to represent the probability of a true positive is P(I⋂D).

We know that I stands for Infected, U stands for Uninfected, D for Infection detected, N for infection no detected.

Then, a true positive will be given by the intersection of Infected and Infection Detected.
