The problem ask for the probability that an athlete uses steroid, given that the test is positive if 12% athletes use steroid and the positive that uses steriod is 11% and the answer would be 0.67%, I hope you are satisfied with my asnwer and feel free to ask for more

Answer:

the probability is: 0.92

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of athletes be 'x'. and let 'P' denotes the probability.

let A shows the event that a athlete test positive for steroids.

let B shows the event that athlete use steroids.

as given in the question 12% of the athletes test positive for steroids=0.12 x.

⇒  P(A)=0.12 x

also we know that 11% of the athletes test positive for steroids actually use steroids=0.11 x.

⇒P(A∩B)=0.11 x

Now we are asked to find the probability that an athlete uses steroids, given that he test positive that is we have to find

P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}

P(B|A)=\frac{0.11 x}{0.12 x}=\frac{11}{12}=0.92

Hence, the probability that an athlete uses steroids, given that he tests positive is 0.92.

The distance be<br> Find the distance between P and Q
Lelu [443]

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((7 -1)^2 +(12 -4)^2) = √(6^2 +8^2) = √(36 +64) = √100

  d = 10

The distance between P and Q is 10.

You may recognize the run : rise ratio of 6 : 8 = 3 : 4. This suggests a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 2. If you're familiar with that Pythagorean triple, you can write down the answer as soon as you see the rise and run numbers.
