I am pretty sure the answer is <em>DE = </em>1 \frac{1}{4}<em />
<em />
Here's how I figured that out. Since AB, the smallest segment is \frac{1}{4} of the whole segment, AC, that means all we have to do is use that fraction to find out the length of the DE.
<em>
</em>
So, EF, representing the whole segment, is equal to 5. Well, DE will equal<em> </em>\frac{1}{4} of EF, so all we have to do is divide 5 by 4 to find our answer and our length for DE. That being said:
<em>
</em>
\frac{5}{4} =  1 \frac{1}{4}, which is our answer :)
<em>
I hope this helped! Have an amazing day :))

There are 150 oranges, apples and pears in a box. The ratio of the number of oranges to the number of apples is 3:5 and the rati
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

  Pears:  30

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant:

  3x + 5x + 2x = 150

                 10x = 150

                    x = 15  

Multiply ratio with constant from above:

  oranges : apples

       3 * 15 : 5 * 15

            45 : 75       ==>               45 oranges: 75 apples

  pears : apples

   2 * 15 : 5 * 15

        30 : 75          ==>                    30 pears: 75 apples

Check:

45 oranges + 75 apples + 30 pears = 150 fruits

The National Cancer Institute estimates that 3.65% of women in their 60s get breast cancer. A mammogram can typically identify c
masha68 [24]

Answer:

39.17% probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test.

Event B: Having breast cancer.

3.65% of women in their 60s get breast cancer

This means that P(B) = 0.0365

A mammogram can typically identify correctly 85% of cancer cases

This means that P(A|B) = 0.85

Probability of a positive test.

85% of 3.65% and 100-95 = 5% of 100-3.65 = 96.35%. So

P(A) = 0.85*0.0365 + 0.05*0.9635 = 0.0792

What is the probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.0365*0.85}{0.0792} = 0.3917

39.17% probability that a woman in her 60s who has a positive test actually has breast cancer
