Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 6x + 12  = 3x - 18

2x + 12 = 3x - 18

-x + 12 = -18

-x = -30

x = 30

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

8x - 3(2x - 4) = 3(x - 6)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Distribute:</u> 8x - 6x + 12 = 3x - 18

<u>Combine like terms:</u> 2x + 12 = 3x - 18

<u>Subtract 2x on both sides:</u> 12 = x - 18

<u>Add 18 on both sides:</u> 30 = x

400 Suppose a particular surveillance system has a 99% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist and a 99.8% chance of
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

1.236 × 10^(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the person is a future terrorist

Let B the event that the person is identified as a terrorist

We are told that there are 1,000 future terrorists in a population of 400 million. Thus, the Probability that the person is a terrorist is;

P(A) = 1000/400000000

P(A) = 0.0000025

P(A') = 1 - P(A)

P(A') = 1 - 0.0000025

P(A') = 0.9999975

We are told that the system has a 99% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist. Thus; P(B|A) = 0.99

Thus, P(B'|A) = 1 - P(B|A)

P(B'|A) = 1 - 0.99

P(B'|A) = 0.01

We are told that there is a 99.8% chance of correctly identifying someone who is not a future terrorist. Thus; P(B'|A') = 0.998

Hence: P(B|A') = 1 - P(B'|A')

P(B|A') = 1 - 0.998

P(B|A') = 0.002

We want to find the probability that someone who is identified as a terrorist, is actually a future terrorist. This is represented by: P(A|B)

We can find it from bayes theorem as follows;

P(A|B) = [P(B|A) × P(A)]/[(P(B|A) × P(A)) + (P(B|A') × P(A')]

Plugging in the relevant values;

P(A|B) = [0.99 × 0.0000025]/[(0.99 × 0.0000025) + (0.002 × 0.9999975)]

P(A|B) = 0.00123597357 = 1.236 × 10^(-3)
