If a woman takes an early pregnancy test, she will either test positive, meaning that the test says she is pregnant, or test neg

ative, meaning that the test says she is not pregnant. Suppose that if a woman really is pregnant, there is a 98% chance that she will test positive. Also, suppose that if a woman really is not pregnant, there is a 99% chance that she will test negative. Assume that 1000 women are to be pregnancy tested and that exactly 100 of them are pregnant. If a randomly chosen woman from this group tests positive for pregnancy, then what is the probability that she really is pregnant?

Answer:

0.0098

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of being pregnant:100/1000

=1/10.

98% chance:=98/100 ×1/10

=98/1000

Therefore the probability that she really is pregnant is: 0.098

This right circular cone has a volume of 75π cubic inches. The height of the cone is 9 inches. What is the length of the radius?
sukhopar [10]
\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;r=radius\\&#10;h=height\\&#10;-----\\&#10;V=75\pi \\&#10;h=9&#10;\end{cases}\implies 75\pi =\cfrac{\pi r^2\cdot 9}{3}\implies 75\pi =3\pi r^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{75\pi }{3\pi }=r^2\implies 25=r^2\implies \sqrt{25}=r\implies 5=r

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 2.7%?
MatroZZZ [7]

Multiplying by 1 keeps it the same. A number greater than 1 would be an increase and a number below 1 would be a decrease.

The decrease is 2.7% which is written as 0.027 as a decimal.

Subtract that from 1:

1 - 0.027 = 0.973

The multiplier would be 0.973
