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.

just olya [345]

Answer:

1152$

Step-by-step explanation:

b1 = 7/8 C

b2 = 5/6 b1 = 35/ 48 C

7/8 C + 35/48 C = C + 696

42/48 C + 35/48 C = 48/48 C + 696 * 48/48

(42 + 35 - 48 ) C = 696 * 48

29 C = 33408

C =1152.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! Thank you SO MUCH! Explain your answer

Answer:

y = -.5x -.5

Step-by-step explanation:

All you do is plug in the x and y in the point to the equation, y = mx + b. Since the coordinate is (5, -3), this in the equation would look like -3 = -.5(5) +b. (all you need to find is the y-intercept, or b.) Solve it out to get -3 = -2.5 + b. Add 2.5 to each side of the equation, you're left with b = -.5. Now, put that back into the original equation, and get y = -.5x -.5. I think this is right, you can go back through and check once more if you'd like.
