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?

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

3/4(x+5 1/2) = 5/8<br><br> Distributive Property <br><br> Brainly
Talja [164]

Answer:

x = - \frac{14}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{4} (x + 5 \frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{5}{8}

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x + 5 \frac{1}{2} ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = \frac{-28}{6} = - \frac{14}{3}

8/9=x+1/3(7) how to solve
Debora [2.8K]
Do 1/3 x 7 (due to the parentheses which mean multiplication). Once you get that answer you should have 8/9 = x + (answer). Now subtract that answer from 8/9 and that's your x!
