losis, the test indicated tuberculosis in 90% of the subjects, was inconclusive for 7%, and negative for 3%. For the subjects who did not have tuberculosis, the test indicated tuberculosis in 5%, was inconclusive for 10%, and was negative for the remaining 85%.

Answer:

the probability is 9/71 ( 12.67%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event Te= the test indicates tuberculosis , then the probability is:

P(Te)= probability of choosing a subject that has tuberculosis * probability that the test indicates tuberculosis given that a subject with tuberculosis was chosen + probability of choosing a subject that has not tuberculosis * probability that the test indicates tuberculosis given that a subject that has not tuberculosis was chosen = 8/1000 * 90/100 + 992/1000 * 5/100 = 0.0568

After this,  we can use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability. Then defining the event Tu= choosing a subject that has tuberculosis, we have

P(Tu/Te)= P(Tu∩Te)/P(Te) = 8/1000 * 90/100 / 0.0568 = 9/71 ( 12.67%)

where

P(Tu∩Te) = probability that a subject with tuberculosis is chosen and the test indicates tuberculosis

P(Tu/Te)= probability that a subject with tuberculosis was chosen given that the test indicates tuberculosis

Answer: John's situation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each situation.

John’s situation:

The amount of money that John has (y) is equal to his school account (40) minus the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he spends per day( 3)

y =40-3x

As days pass by, John has less money (negative rate of change)

Judy's situation

The amount of money that Judy has in her savings account (y) is equal to the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he saves per day (20/2)

y = x (20/2)

No because the lines are not connecting. The definition of a function is a relationship involving one or more variables. This can't be a function because their is only one variable.
