A test for tuberculosis was given to 1000 subjects, 8% of whom were known to have tuberculosis. For the subjects who had tubercu

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%. What is the probability of a randomly selected person having tuberculosis given that the test indicates tuberculosis

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

(1/2)^2 = 1/4
2-2/3 = 6/3 - 2/3 = 4/3

OK so:
(1/2)^2 - 6(2-2/3) = 1/4 - 6(4/3)
= 1/4 - 8
= 1/4 - 32/4
= -31/4

Help me pls, question is on the picture
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

I just learned this about a few weeks ago I hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's cosine you're only looking at Adjacent and the hypotenuse which the adj is 20 and the hyp is 25 so since cosine is adj/hyp you do 20/25 then simplify it to 20/25 divide both by 5 so it's simplified to 4/5.

Then you do Cos-1(4/5)=36.869 which is rounded to the tenth 36.9 but rounded to the hundredth 36.87.

Hope this helps

A hiker on the Appalachian Trail planned to increase the distance covered by 10% each day. After 7 days, the total distance trav
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  6.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of distances is a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio (1 +10%) = 1.10. The sum of 7 terms of the sequence is ...

  S7 = a1·(r^7 -1)/(r -1)

  56.923 = a1·(1.1^7 -1)/(1.1 -1)

  5.6923 = a1·0.9487171

Dividing by the coefficient of a1 gives its value:

  5.6923/0.9487171 ≈ 5.999997 ≈ 6.000

The hiker traveled 6.0 miles on the first day.

The table and the graph each show a different relationship between the same two variables, x and y:
SCORPION-xisa [38]
When x=2 y = 110 which means when when x=1 y = 55
the graph would be 11*55 or 605
The table would be 280/4= 70 70*11=770 
Which means the difference is 770-605=165

165 is ur answer
