Which pair of measurements is not equivalent?

1 answer:

8 0

If you would like to know which pair of measurements is not equivalent, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 mile = 5280 feet

8 yards = 8 * 3 feet = 24 feet
2 feet = 2 * 12 inches = 24 inches
10 feet = 10 * 12 inches = 120 inches
3 miles = 3 * 5280 feet = 15,840 feet

Not equivalent: 3 miles, 15,480 feet.

All interns for Comcast are required to be tested for drug use. The imperfect test gives positive results (indicating drug use)

lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.0224 or 2.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that an intern uses drugs, given that the test is negative, is determined by the probability of false negative divided by the probability of a negative (true or false).

A false negative occurs when an intern who uses drugs (10%) takes the test and gets a negative. Since the test gets it right 80% of the time, the probability of this happening is:

$P(FN) = 0.10*(1-0.80)=0.02$

A true negative occurs when an intern who does not use drugs (90%) takes the test and gets a negative. Since the test gets it wrong 3% of the time, the probability of this happening is:

$P(TN) = 0.90*(1-0.03)=0.873$
