To determine whether or not they have a certain desease, 304 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 19. The blood samples of the 19 people in each group will be pooled and analyzed together. If the test is negative, one test will suffice for the 19 people (we are assuming that the pooled test will be positive if and only if at least one person in the pool has the desease); whereas, if the test is positive each of the 19 people will also be individually tested and, in all, 20 tests will be made on this group. Assume the probability that a person has the desease is 0.04 for all people, independently of each other, and compute the expected number of tests necessary for the entire group of 304 people.

Answer:

The expected number of tests necessary for the entire group of 304 people is 180.0325

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of person being positive = p = 0.04

Probability of person being negative = q = 1-0.04=0.96

Number of people in each group = 19

We will use binomial over here

Probability of no test positive :

P(x=0) = ^{19}C_0 (0.04)^0 (0.96)^{19} =0.460419201958

P( at least one tests positive) = 1-P( no one tests positive)= 1-0.460419201958= 0.539580798042

Expected number of tests for each group = 1(0.460419201958)+20(0.539580798042) = 11.2520351628

Number of groups =\frac{\text{Total population}}{\text{no. of people in each group}}=\frac{304}{19}=16

Expected number of tests necessary for the entire group of 304 people:

=\text{Expected number of tests for each group} \times \text{No. of groups}

=11.2520351628 \times 16

=180.0325

Hence The expected number of tests necessary for the entire group of 304 people is 180.0325

Please I need help with these 3 questions with explanation. See attached below.
amm1812

Answer:

  18. compound interest

  19. simple interest

  20. simple interest

Step-by-step explanation:

For these problems, the initial balance is irrelevant. All that matters is the multiplier of that balance. For simple interest at rate r for t years, the multiplier is ...

  simple interest multiplier = (1 +rt)

For interest compounded annually, the multiplier of the initial balance is ...

  compound interest multiplier = (1 +r)^t

A spreadsheet can do the computations for you.

___

As an example of the computations involved, consider problem 19:

  simple interest multiplier = 1 + 0.13·6 = 1.78

  compound interest multiplier = 1.10^6 = 1.771561

The latter is less than the former, so the simple interest account will have the (slightly) greater balance at the end of 6 years.

In a parallel circuit, the supply voltage is 120 V, 60 Hz. The resistance is 30 Ω and the inductive reactance is 40 Ω. What is t
kvasek [131]

Given : supply voltage = 120V;60 Hz

Inductive Reactance (X_{L}) = 40 Ω

The inductive reactance is given by the formula, X_{L}=Lw, where L is inductance and w is given by formula, w = 2\pi(frequency)

Apply this, we can say that, L = \frac{X_{L}}{2\pi (frequency)}  = \frac{40}{2(3.14)(60)} = 0.106157 H = 106.157 mH
