0.3% of a country has a certain disease. The test for the disease has a sensitivity of 92% (i.e., of those we know have the dise

ase, the test comes back positive 92% of the time.) It has a specificity of 96% (i.e., of those who do NOT have the disease, the test comes back negative 96% of the time.)

Answer:

0.95988 (Accuracy of the test )

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the accuracy of this test we have to list out the given values

Prevalence rate of the disease = 0.3% = 0.003

sensitivity rate of the disease = 92% = 0.92

specificity rate for the test = 96% = 0.96

The accuracy of the test can be found using this equation

Accuracy = sensitivity * prevalence + specificity ( 1 - prevalence )

                = 0.92 * 0.003 + 0.96 ( 1 - 0.003 )

                = 0.00276 + 0.95712

                = 0.95988

Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 mph. How fast is this in feet per second? (Round to the nearest whole number
Lerok [7]
Keeping in mind that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile, and there are 60 minutes in 1 hr and 60 seconds in 1 minute, therefore 60*60 seconds in 1 hr, or 3600 seconds, then.

\bf \cfrac{40\underline{mi}}{\underline{hr}}\cdot \cfrac{5280ft}{\underline{mi}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{hr}}{3600s}\implies \cfrac{40\cdot 5280}{3600}\cfrac{ft}{s}\implies \cfrac{176}{3}\implies 58.\overline{66}\frac{ft}{s}

The vertical asymptote of the function f(x) = 3 log(x + 3)
ipn [44]

A function has a vertical asymptote where it is not defined, and the logarithm is defined only if its argument is strictly positive: it has a vertical asymptote if its argument is zero, and is not defined if its argument is negative.

So, you have a vertical asymptote where

x+3=0 \iff x=-3
