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.

Plot triangle ABC on graph paper with points A(2,2). B(-2, -2) and C(8, -2).
bonufazy [111]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) The new triangle is a reflection of the original across the origin. All angles, segment lengths, and line slopes have been preserved: the transformed triangle is congruent with the original.

  b) The new triangle is a reflection of the original across the origin and a dilation by a factor of 2. Angles have been preserved: the transformed triangle is similar to the original. The transformation is NOT rigid.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The transformed triangle is blue in the attachment. It is congruent with the original. The transformation is "rigid," a reflection across the origin. All angles and lengths have been preserved, as well as line slopes.

__

2. The transformed triangle is orange in the attachment. It is similar to the original, in that angles have been preserved and lengths are proportional. It is a reflection across the origin and a dilation by a factor of 2. Line slopes have also been preserved. A dilation is NOT a "rigid" transformation.
