Answer:

  • probability of a false positive test result = 0.010
  • The non-drug user will suffer from the result since it is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the test result  is a false positive

total number of cases studied  (n) = 38 + 12 + 19 + 29 = 98

number of false positive cases ( x ) = 1

probability of false positive result = x / n = 1/98 = 0.010

The non-drug user will suffer from the result since it is positive

2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)

We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question. 

8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6

Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake

Which of the following expressions is correct? Select one: a. marginal cost = (change in quantity of output)/(change in total co
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

b. average total cost = total cost/quantity of output

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal cost is the additional cost of producing one more unit of output and it can be calculated by taking the change in total cost and dividing it by the change in quantity, its formula is:

  • <em>Marginal cost = change in total cost/ change in quantity</em>

The average total cost (sometimes referred to simply as average cost) is total cost divided by the quantity of output, its formula is:

  • <u><em>Average total cost = total cost / quantity of output</em></u>

The total cost is obtained adding together the fixed costs and the variable costs, its formula is:

  • <em>Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost</em>

The average variable cost is obtained when variable cost is divided by quantity of output, its formula is:

  • <em>Average variable = variable cost / quantity of output</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Reserve Problems Chapter 4 Section 5 Problem 2 A laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest lap
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest laptop battery life. However, reviews on this laptop shows many complaints about low battery life. A survey on battery life reported by customers shows that it follows a normal distribution with mean 9.5 hours and standard deviation 30 minutes.

If X is the battery life then X is N(9.5, 0.5)

(we convert into one unit for calculations purpose here hours)

a) the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours

=P(X\geq 10.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{10.1-9.5}{0.5} )\\= P(Z\geq 1.2)\\=0.1151

we get the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours is 0.1151
