Mathematics

Ivan3 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

How to answer this on descending powers of x please help pretty please
zheka24 [161]

Answer:  25x² - 64

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

  (5x + 8)(5x - 8)

=        5x(5x - 8)   +    8(5x - 8)

=      25x² - 40x    +    40x - 64

=      25x²         + 0x           - 64

=              \large\boxed{25x^2-64}

NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.

For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)
