Breaking Apart Strategy is an easy way to find multiplication, even though those are difficult ones. This is a great strategy for breaking apart harder multiplication problems, so the result you get is the same as if you are multiplying the original equation.

For example, suppose you want to get this multiplication:

 $8\times 7$

So eight times seven is a tricky one sometimes. Maybe we forget this multiplication so let's break it apart. Therefore, let's break apart seven, that is:

 $7=5+2$

This is true because five and two makes seven. Therefore, the new equation is:

 $8(5+2)$

Applying distributive property:

 $8\times 5+8\times2=40+16=56$

So:

 $8\times 7=56$

As you can see the multiplication was obtained in a easy way.

A new medical test provides a false positive result for hepatitis 2% of the time that is a perfectly healthy subject being teste

Oxana [17]

Given that X be the number of subjects who test positive for the disease out of the 30 healthy subjects used for the test.

The probability of success, i.e. the probability that a healthy subject tests positive is given as 2% = 0.02

Part A:

The probability that all 30 subjects will appropriately test as not being infected, that is the probability that none of the healthy subjects will test positive is given by:

 $P(X)={ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}} \\ \\ P(0)={ ^{30}C_0(0.02)^0(1-0.02)^{30-0}} \\ \\ =1(1)(0.98)^{30}=0.5455$


Part B:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by

 $\mu=np \\ \\ =30(0.02) \\ \\ =0.6$

The standard deviation is given by:

 $\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(1-0.02)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(0.98)}=\sqrt{0.588} \\ \\ =0.7668$


Part C:

This test will not be a trusted test in the field of medicine as it has a standard deviation higher than the mean. The testing method will not be consistent in determining the infection of hepatitis.

You have x , x+7, and 7x-7. When you add those up and equal it to 180 you can get your x. X equals 20
So one angle is 20 degrees
The second angle is 27 degrees
And the third angle is 133 degrees.
