If the test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

If the test is 97% accurate for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97% of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is a false positive.

How to graph 14x+18y=126
Burka [1]

  • We need to rearrange this into y=my+c
  • Subtract 14x from both sides
  • 18y=-14x+126
  • Divide both sides by 2
  • 9y=-7x+63
  • Divide both sides by 9
  • y=\frac{-7x+63}{9}=\frac{-7x}{9} +\frac{63}{9}
  • Plot the point (0, 63/9)
  • Then pick some x values and put them into the equation to find the respective y values
  • Then plot those points
  • Finally join up those points

7. This year, the water in a reservoir dropped by 60%. For the original water level to be restored next year, by what percent mu
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Given: Water in a reservoir dropped by 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total water level of reservoir be 100.

then, in first year

the water reservoir dropped = 60% of 100

                                               =\frac{60}{100} * 100

                                               = 60

therefore, total water level needed to be restored till next year= 100

remaining water level to restore till next year= 100-60

                                                                           =40

                                                       percentage= \frac{40}{100} * 100

                                                                         =40%
