BRCA1 is a gene that has been linked to breast cancer. Researches at Stanford University wanted to estimate what proportion of w

omen with a family history of breast cancer show a BRCA1 mutation. In 2014, they used DNA analysis to search for BRCA mutations in 173 women with family histories of breast cancer. Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations. Calculate the Point Estimate. Give your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is the number of women with this mutation divided by the size of the sample.

Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations.

29/173 = 0.168

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

Solve for x.<br>A. x =9<br>B. x = 3<br>C. x = 4<br>D. x = 27
meriva
Your formula for this is 9^{2} =x(24+x) and 81=24x+ x^{2}.  Get everything on one side of the equals sign, set it equal to 0 and factor.  When you do this you get (x-3)(x+27). The Zero Product Property rule tells us that either x-3 = 0 or x+27 = 0 and that x = 3 and -27.  The only thing in math that will NEVER be negative besides time is distance/length, therefore, x cannot be 27 and has to be 3.

A store sells both cold and hot beverages. Cold beverages, c, cost $1.50, while hot beverages, h, cost $2.00. On Saturday, drink
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The number of hot beverages sold were 45 and the number of cold beverages sold were 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cold  beverages sold be c

And the number of hot beverages sold be h

According to the question:

c=4\times h...

$ 1.5\times c + 2\times h = Sale of any day

Part1:

For Saturday.

The sale is of $360

then

$ 1.5 \times c + $ 2 \times h =$ 360

Part 2:

Following the method of substitution.

And plugging the values of c=4\times h...in equation where the sales of Saturday is given.

1.5\times c + 2\times h =360

1.5\times 4\times h + 2 \times h =360

6\times h + 2\times h= 360

8\times h=360

Dividing both sides with 8.

h=\frac{360}{8}

h=45

Inserting h=45 in c=4 \times h...

we have c=4\times 45 = 180

So the number of hot beverages sold were 45 and the number of cold beverages sold were 180.
