To determine whether or not they have a certain disease, 150 people are to have their blood tested. However, rather than testing

each individual separately, it has been decided first to group the people in groups of 10. The blood samples of the 10 people in each group will be pooled and analyzed together. If the test is negative, one test will suffice for the 10 people (we are assuming that the pooled test will be positive if and only if at least one person in the pool has the disease); whereas, if the test is positive each of the 10 people will also be individually tested and, in all, 11 tests will be made on this group. Assume the probability that a person has the disease is 0.04 for all people, independently of each other, and compute the expected number of tests necessary for each group.

Answer:

The answer is 75 tests for 150 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, with 150 people, we can divide into 15 groups; and the probability of disease is 0.04, there are 6 persons who possibly get disease.

Therefor, the maximum number of groups with an individual getting disease is 6. Then, 6 * 11 tests = 66 tests required.

15 groups - 6 groups with disease = 9 groups of negative with 9 tests.

In conclusion, there are 75 tests required.

Which shows the image of quadrilateral ABCD after the transformation R0, 90°?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The 2nd picture is right answer as it has coordinates as A'(0, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(3, -2), and D'(2, -3). The corresponding answer picture is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that when a figure is rotated 90° counterclockwise about the origin, the side of the points of the figure are switched, and the sign of the y-coordinated is reversed.

Thus, the rule to rotate the point of any figure is rotated 90° counterclockwise about the origin is:

(x,y) → (-y,x)

Considering the quadrilateral ABCD in the first figure having the vertices A(-1, 0), B(0, -1), C(-2, -3), and D(-3 , -2) respectively.

So, after quadrilateral ABCD is rotated counterclockwise 90° about the origin,

  • A (-1, 0)

A' → (-y,x) = (0,1)

  • B(0, -1)

B' → (-y,x) = (1, 0)

  • C(-2, -3)

C' → (-y,x) = (3, -2)

  • D(-3, -2)

D' → (-y,x) = (2, -3)

So, the coordinates of a quadrilateral ABCD after a rotation of 90° about the origin would be A'(0, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(3, -2), and D'(2, -3) respectively.

Therefore, the 2nd picture is right answer as it has coordinates as A'(0, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(3, -2), and D'(2, -3). The corresponding answer picture is attached below.

Can you make a rectangle that has two rows of squares with an area of 11 square units? Why or Why not?​
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Yes. In a rectangle of 2 row squares of √11 legs. We still have four right angles and two pair of parallel sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a rectangle out of a 2 rows of 11 u² square, is to draw 2 squares with √11 legs. Joining them we can clearly see a new rectangle with (2√11) height and √11 width. Four right angles, two parallel legs. Exactly what makes a rectangle.
