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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivan4 years ago
6 0

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

Using trigonometric identities, it is found that the sine and the tangent of the angle are given as follows:

  • \sin{\theta} = \frac{1}{2}.
  • \tan{\theta} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

<h3>How do we find the sine of an angle given the cosine?</h3>

We use the following identity:

\sin^{2}{\theta} + \cos^{2}{\theta} = 1

In this problem, the cosine is:

\cos{\theta} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Hence the sine is found as follows:

\sin^{2}{\theta} + \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = 1

\sin^{2}{\theta} + \frac{3}{4} = 1

\sin^{2}{\theta} = \frac{1}{4}

\sin{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}

Second quadrant, so the sine is positive, hence:

\sin{\theta} = \frac{1}{2}

<h3>What is the tangent of an angle?</h3>

The tangent is given by the <u>sine divided by the cosine</u>, hence:

\tan{\theta} = \frac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}

Hence:

\tan{\theta} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}

\tan{\theta} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}

\tan{\theta} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

Identify the type of study design in the following scenario:
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

c. observational study

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Researchers compare the rates of autism for children who did and did not receive the standard measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, to see if the vaccine might be responsible for autism in some children.</em>

This study design in the above scenario is observational study because the researcher are obviously observing whether the vaccine is affecting the children. Note that Observational study is like experiment which attempts to understand the cause and effect relationships on a subject.

Solving for b in this problem
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subisitute P, a, and c (P = 41, a = 19, c = 19 ) into the equation:

P = a + b + c -> 41 = 19 + b + 19

2. Combine like terms:

41 = 38 + b

3. Isolate the variable by subtratcing 38 from both sides

41 - 38 = 38 -38 + b -> 3 = b

URGENT! PLEASE HELP!
valina [46]

If your teacher is asking "which of the following can be used to prove the triangles congruent?" then I agree with your statement that it's "none of the above". We simply don't have enough information to determine if the triangles are congruent or not. If we wanted to use SAS, then we'd have to know if EB = BD was true. If we wanted ASA, then we'd have to know that A = C. If we wanted AAS, then we'd have to know that E = D.


In short, you have the correct answer. Nice work.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

70 push-ups in 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

42 pushups in 3 minutes is a rate of 14 per minute when you take 42/3.

14 push-ups per minute times 5 minutes is 70 push-ups
