A credit card company has found that 0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent. It has developed a computer program that correctly

identifies whether a transaction is fraudulent or not 99% of the time. If the program scans 5,000,000 transactions, about how many of them will it identify as fraudulent?

Given:
0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent
99% correct identification whether a transaction is fraudulent or not.
Scanned 5,000,000 transactions.

5,000,000 x 0.1% = 5,000 fraudulent transactions.

For me, there are 5,000 fraudulent transactions. This is based on the 0.1% rather than the 99%. Because the problem clearly states that the 0.1% of ALL transaction is identified as fraudulent. The 99% of the computer program only deals with the correct identification of the transaction as either fraudulent or not. For me, it is not a clear measure of the true number of fraudulent transactions.

Solve x2 – 10x + 25 = 35 for x.
Galina-37 [17]

x^2-10x+25=35\\\\x^2-2\cdot5\cdot x + 5^2=35\ \ \ |\text{use:}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-5)^2=35\to x-5=\pm\sqrt{35}\ \ \ |+5\\\\\boxed{x=5-\sqrt{35}\ \vee\ x=5+\sqrt{35}}


\text{other method}\\\\x^2-10x+25=35\\\\x^2-5x-5x+25=35\\\\x(x-5)-5(x-5)=35\\\\(x-5)(x-5)=35\\\\(x-5)^2=35\\.....
