The Transportation Safety Authority (TSA) has developed a new test to detect large amounts of liquid in luggage bags.

Mathematics

Ivan3 years ago

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First of all lets define  

X to be that the bags do contain large liquid amounts

+ to be that the test is not negative that is positive

From the question,  

P(x) = 3/100 = 0.03

P(+|X) = 0.91

P(+|X′) = 0.05

Probability of bag having a positive test =p(+)

= P(+|X) (P(x)) + P(+|X′)(P(X′))

= P(X′)) = 1 – 0.03 = 0.97

Inserting these values into these formulas  

0.91)(0,03) + (0.05)(0.97)

= 0.0273 + 0.0485

= 0.0758

The probability of the randomly selected bag having large liqid amount

=  P(X|+) = (0.91*0.03)/(0.91*0.03)(0.05*0.97)

= 0.0273/0.0273+0.0485

= 0.0273/0.0758

= 0.3602

the probability that this bag does not have large liquid amount

= p(X'|+) = 1 - P(X|+)

= 1 - 0.3602

= 0.6398

How much would $200 invested at 6% interest compounded annually be worth after 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Neko [114]
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt}
A=future amount
P=present amount
r=rate in decimal form
n=number of times per year to be compounded
t=time in years

so
P=200
r=0.06
n=1
t=6

evaluate to find A
A=200(1+ \frac{0.06}{1})^{(1)(6)}
A=200P(1.06)^{6}
A=283.704
round
A=$283.70
