Suppose a test for a virus has a false-positive rate of 0.009 and a false-negative rate of 0.002. Assume that 1.5% of the popula

tion has the virus. (a) What is the chance someone from this population will test positive? (Enter exact answer.) (b) If someone tests positive, what is the chance he actually has the virus? (Answer correct to four decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) 0.023835

(b) 0.6281

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The chance someone from this population will test positive is given by the percentage of people who have the virus multiplied by the change of testing positive (1 - false-negative rate) added to the percentage of people who do not have the virus multiplied by the change of testing positive (false-positive rate)

P(+) = 0.015*(1-0.002)+(1-0.015)*0.009\\P(+) = 0.023835

(b) The probability that someone actually has the virus given that they have tested positive is determined as the probability of having the virus and testing positive divided by the probability of testing positive:

P(V|+) = \frac{ 0.015*(1-0.002)}{0.023835}\\P(V|+) = 0.6281

Which of the following functions is not a linear
kicyunya [14]

By looking at the degree of the polynomials, we conclude that the option that is not linear is option C.

<h3>Which of the following functions is not a linear function?</h3>

A polynomial is an expression of the form:

p(x) = a_n*x^n + a_{n-1}*x^{n-1} + ... + a_0

Where all the exponents are natural numbers.

We define the degree of a polynomial as the largest exponent, and we define a linear function as a polynomial of degree 1.

So a linear function is of the form:

f(x) = a_1*x + a_0

Now, if you look at option C, you can see that the degree of that polynomial is 2. So that is not a linear function.

Then the correct option is C.

A monument in the shape of a right triangle sits on a rectangular pedestarl that is 7 meters high by 16 meters long. The longest
Minchanka [31]

Answer: 70 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle and a rectangle, we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem (for the triangle)

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

65^2 = 16^2 + x^2  

4,225 = 256 + x^2

4,225-256 = x^2

3,969=x^2

√3,969 =x

63=x

We have calculated the missing side of the triangle, now we have to add the height of the rectangle:

63 +7 =70 meters

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
