Yahoo creates a test to classify emails as spam or not spam based on the contained words. This test accurately identifies spam (

if it is actually spam) 95% of the time. On the other hand, if an email isn't spam, the test will incorrectly classify it as spam 5% of the time. The prevalence of spam emails is 3 in 10.i) What's the probability that an email picked at random is spam? What's the probability that an email picked at random isn't spam?ii) If you test an email and it reports positive for spam, what is the probability that it is spam?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume that

Spam Email be S

And, test spam positive be T

Given that

P(S) = 0.3

P(\frac{T}{S}) = 0.95

P(\frac{T}{S^c}) = 0.05

Now based on the above information, the probabilities are as follows

i. P(Spam Email) is

= P(S)

= 0.3

P(S^c) =  1 - P(S)

= 1 - 0.3

= 0.7

ii. P(\frac{S}{T}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T}{P(T)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{0.95 \times 0.3}{0.95 \times 0.3 + 0.05 \times 0.7}

= 0.8906

iii. P(\frac{S}{T^c}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T^c}{P(T^c)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T^c}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{(1 - 0.95)\times 0.3}{ (1 -0.95)0.95 \times 0.3 + (1 - 0.05) \times 0.7}

= 0.0221

We simply applied the above formulas so that the each part could come

A high school track coach wanted to test whether giving the students an energy drink could affect performance during the 100 met
kondaur [170]

The inference that can be made about the results is that; energy drinks enhances performance during 100 meters race.

<h3>How to find inference from a given data?</h3>

From the given table and histogram, we can see that;

Group 1 average race time = 10.8

Group 2 average race time = 11.6

Thus, since group 1 drank energy drink and had faster times than group 2 without energy drinks, the inference that can be made about the results is that energy drinks has enhancing performance during 100 meters race.

HELPP 35 POINTS!!!!! Point Q is the center of Circle Q in the diagram below. The measure of angle XAY is 72° (m∠XAY = 72°). Sinc
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Se explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows the circle with center Q. In this circle, angle XAY is inscribed angle subtended on the arc XY. Angle XQY is the central angle subtended on the same arc XY.

The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle that subtends the same arc on the circle. Therefore,

m\angle XBY=2m\angle XAY=2\cdot 72^{\circ}=144^{\circ}

The measure of the intercepted arc XY is the measure of the central angle XQY and is equal to 144°.

All angles that have the same endpoints X and Y and vertex lying in the middle of the quadrilateral XAYQ have measures satisfying the condition

72^{\circ}

because angle XAY is the smallest possible angle subtended on the arc XY in the circle and angle XQY is the largest possible angle in the circle subtended on the arc XY.
