One half percent of the population has a particular disease. A test is developed for the disease. The test gives a false positiv

e 3% of the time and a false negative 2% of the time.
(a). What is the probability that Joe (a random person) tests positive?
(b). Joe just got the bad news that the test came back positive; what is the probability that Joe has the disease?

Answer

a) 0.035

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J be the event that Joe has the disease.

Let The be the event that Joe's test is positive.

Pr(J) = 1/2%

= 0.5/100 = 0.005

Pr(J') = 99.5%

= 0.995

Pr(T|J) = 98%

= 0.98 since 2% if the time if a person having the disease is omitted ("false negative ")

Pr(T|J') = 3% = 0.03 since there are 3 false positives

a( Pr(T) = us the probability that Joe tests positive

Pr(T) = Pr(T|J)* P(J) + Pr(T|J')*Pr(J')

= (0.98*0.005) + (0.03*0.995)

= 0.00049 + 0.02985

= 0.03475

= 0.035

b) Pr( J|T) = Pr(JnT) / Pr(T)

= (Pr(T|J)*Pr(J)) / Pr(T)

= (0.005*0.98) / 0.035

= 0.0049/0.035

= 0.14

What is the square root of 100 times two divided by two
gogolik [260]

Answer:

10 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

√((100 * 2)/2)

Simplify. First, follow the Parenthesis. Combine 100 with 2

100 * 2 = 200

Next, divide by 2

200/2 = 100

Root 100

√100 = √10 * √10 = 10

10 is your answer

~

An easier way to solving this is to first cancel out the 2's ( multiplying 2 and dividing 2 would do nothing), and just square rooting 100, giving you the answer 10.

What happens to the value of the expression as 50/p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

p is in the denominator. This means that p and the value of the expression 50/p are inverse proportional. So for a big value of p, 50/p has a small positive value. For a small value of p, 50/p has a high positive value.

what happens to the value of the expression 50/p as p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

For example

50/1000 = 0.05

50/1 = 50

What is the minimum value of the function g(x) = x2 - 6x – 12?<br> -21<br> 3-21<br> 3<br> 3+21
balandron [24]

Answer:

- 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value occurs at the vertex of the function

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Given

f(x) = x² - 6x - 12

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 - 12

     = (x - 3)² - 21

with vertex = (3, - 21 )

The minimum is the value of k, that is minimum value = - 21
