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

Answer:

46 lb = 20.91 kg = 20,910 g

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 46 lb to kg and then to g

Step 1

Establish the conversion from pounds to kilograms.

2.2 lb = 1 kg

Step 2

Then, use simple relating mathematically to use the conversion rate to convert 46 lb

2.2 lb = 1 kg

46 lb = (46×1/2.2) = 20.90909 = 20.91 kg

Step 3

To convert to grams, we repeat step 1 and 2 again.

1 kg = 1000 g

20.91 kg = (20.91×1000/1) = 20910 g

Hope this Helps!!!
