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

What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 9.9 cm, rounded to the nearest
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

the volume of the sphere is 507.78981 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the volume of the sphere is given below:

Given that

The Diameter is 9.9 cm

So, the volume of the sphere is

= 4 ÷ 3 ×π × r^3

= 4 ÷ 3 × 3.14 × 9.9 ÷ 2^3

= 4 ÷ 3 × 3.14 × 4.95^3

= 507.78981 cm^3

Here r denotes the radius

And, the radius would be comes by dividing the diameter from 2

Hence, the volume of the sphere is 507.78981 cm^3

Fudgin [204]
5 gerbils = p dollars
1 gerbil = p/5 dollars
g gerbils = pg / 5 dollars

5/p gerbils = 1 dollar
