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

Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60
TEA [102]

Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is​ increasing is 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.

Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.

Let z represent the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

z² = x² + y²

To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes

2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1

One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that

dx/dt = 32

dy/dt = 60

Distance = speed × time

Since t = 0.5 hour, then

x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles

y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles

z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900

z = √1156

z = 34 miles

Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60

68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600

68dz/dt = 4624

dz/dt = 4624/68

dz/dt = 68 mph
