Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was fou

nd that 16% carried Lyme disease, 10% had HE, and that 10% of the ticks that had either Lyme disease or HGE carried both diseases.(a) What is the probability that a tick carries both Lyme disease (L) and HE (H)?(b) What is the conditional probability that a tick has HE given that it has Lyme disease?

Answer:

a)0.024

b)0.148

Explanation:

Let 's represent the set of deer ticks Carrying Lyme disease with L and the set of deer ticks carrying Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis with H

Given:

P(L) = 0.16

P(H) = 0.10

P(L n H) = 0.1 ·P( L u H )

Hence, P( L u H) = 10 ·P( L nH)

(a)

Hence. using the equation. P(L U H) = P(L) + P(H) - P(L n H)

Hence, 10 · P(L n H ) = 0.16 + 0.1 - P(L n H )

Hence, 11 · P(L n H) = 0.16 + 0.1 = 0.26

Hence, P(L n H) = 0.26/11=0.024

(b)

We know that condition probability P(H ║ L) = p(L n H)/P(L)

hence, P(H ║ L) =(0.26/11)/0.16 =0.148

Summarize: Based on what you have learned, how will the sound that the observer hears
Reil [10]

Answer: The sound will change due to changes in frequency and the wavelength of the airplane.

Explanation: Let assume that the observer is at a stationary position. The wavelength of the sound from the airplane reduces and the frequency increases as the plane is moving toward the observer. As the airplane passes by, that is, moving away from the observer, the frequency starts to reduce while the wavelength of the sound starts to increase.

The sound that the observer hears will change base on the illustration above.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A) move into the left lane to pass the motorcycle

Explanation:

According to law, when it is needed to pass other vehicles, it requires you to only pass other vehicles on the left (using the left lane).  

When passing a motorcyclist, remember to give him/her the same full lane width as other vehicles. Never drive in the same lane with a motorcyclist, even if the lane is wide enough to fit your vehicle and the motorcyclist.

A 37 cm long solenoid, 1.8 cm in diameter, is to produce a 0.50 T magnetic field at its center. If the maximum current is 4.4 A,
taurus [48]

Answer:

33,458.71 turns

Explanation:

Given: L = 37 cm = 0.37 m, B= 0.50 T, I = 4.4 A, n= number of turn per meter

μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷

Solution:

We have B = μ₀ × n × I

⇒ n = B/ (μ₀ × I)

n = 0.50 T / ( 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷ × 4.4 A)

n = 90,428.94 turn/m

No. of turn through 0.37 m long solenoid = 90,428.94 turn/m × 0.37

= 33,458.71 turns
