In order to determine the effectiveness of a new measles antibody test, it is administered to 500 people chosen at random. The n

ew test was positive when administered to 96% of those who have the antibodies and it also gave positive results in 2% of those who do not have them. Based on these results, what is the probability that a randomly chosen person has measles antibodies in his/her blood if the new test is positive?

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen person has measles antibodies in his/her blood if the new test is positive = 0.9796

Step-by-step explanation:

The event that someone tests positive = P(T)

The event that someone has antibodies = P(A)

The event that someone does not have antibodies = P(A')

The new test was positive when administered to 96% of those who have the antibodies.

This probability = P(T n A) = 0.96

The new test gave positive results in 2% of those who do not have them.

This probability = P(T n A') = 0.02

The probability that a randomly chosen person has measles antibodies in his/her blood if the new test is positive = P(A|T)

This conditional probability is given as

P(A|T) = P(T n A) ÷ P(T)

P(T) is given as

P(T) = P(T n A) + P(T n A') = 0.96 + 0.02 = 0.98

P(A|T) = P(T n A) ÷ P(T) = 0.96 ÷ 0.98 = 0.9796

Hope this Helps!!!

An object is launched from a launching pad 144 ft. above the ground at a velocity of 128ft/sec. what is the maximum height reach
ollegr [7]

Answer:

18) a. h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

b. The maximum height = 400 feet

c. Attached graph

19) The rocket will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds

20) The rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the rule of motion for an object with constant acceleration

# The distance S = ut ± 1/2 at², where u is the initial velocity, t is the time

  and a is the acceleration of gravity

# The vertical distances h in x second is h(x) - h(0), where h(0)

   is the initial height of the object above the ground

∵ h(x) = vx + 1/2 ax², where h is the vrtical distance, v is the initial

  velocity, a is the acceleration of gravity (32 feet/second²) and x

  is the time

18)a.

∵ The value of a = -32 ft/sec² ⇒ negative because the direction

   of the motion

  is upward

∴ h(x) - h(0) = vx - (1/2)(32)(x²) ⇒ (1/2)(32) = 16

∴ h(x) = vx - 16x² + h(0)

∴ h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ proved

* Find the height of the object after x seconds from the ground

∵ h(0) = 144 and v = 128 ft/sec

∴ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

b.

* At the maximum height h'(x) = 0

∵ h'(x) = -32x + 128

∴ -32x + 128 = 0 ⇒ subtract 128 from both sides

∴ -32x = -128 ⇒ ÷ -32

∴ x = 4 seconds

- The time for the maximum height = 4 seconds

- Substitute this value of x in the equation of h(x)

∴ The maximum height = -16(4)² + 128(4) + 144 = 400 feet

c. Attached graph

19)

- The object will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds

20)

- When the rocket hits the ground h(x) = 0

∵ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

∴ 0 = -16x² + 128x + 144 ⇒ divide the two sides by -16

∴ x² - 8x - 9 = 0 ⇒ use the factorization to find the value of x

∵ x² - 8x - 9 = 0

∴ (x - 9)( x + 1) = 0

∴ x - 9 = 0 OR x + 1 = 0

∴ x = 9 OR x = -1

- We will rejected -1 because there is no -ve value for the time

* The time for the object to hit the ground is 9 seconds

NEED HELP! ASAP PLEASE!
Doss [256]

Answer:

(0,-41)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that for each 9 units that x goes up, y goes up by 19. If we continue this pattern, it will take 2 more jumps of 9 units for the x value to be 0 or to reach the y intercept. Adding 19 twice to -79 gives -41. Hope this helps!
