Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we are testing 100 people

we test 100 times

80 of the 100 tests result in 5 people having the disease.

so 5 people of 80 of 100 test have this disease

therefore, 5/80/100

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The probability of testing positive for the disease is:

                                23%

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The population who have disease = 5%

Hence, the population who do not have disease= 95%

( since 100%-55=95%)

Also, the percent that the test is accurate= 80%

and the percent that the test is not accurate= 100%-80%=20%

Hence, the  probability of testing positive for the disease is :

The person actually has disease×Test is positive+Person do not have disease×test is not accurate

=  0.05×0.80+0.95×0.20

= 0.23

Hence, the probability is: 23%

Sonja [21]

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate Judy's estimation, we would simply have to multiply the actual distance in kilometers of the tour by the number of miles that Judy believes are in a single mile. This would give us Judy's estimation for how long the tour would be in miles.

40 km. * 0.6 miles = 24 miles

Finally, we can see that Judy's estimation would be that the tour is 24 miles long. Using Judy's believed conversion rate.
