Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine 100000 people are tested.  

<u>Of these 100000:</u>

  • 10000080.02= 2000 will have the disease

<u>8% of them:</u>

  • 2000*0.08= or 160, will test negative and the remaining
  • 1840 will test positive.  

<u>Of the 98000 who do not have the disease, 4% will test positive:</u>

  • 98000*0.04= 3920 will test positive

<u>So of the:</u>

  • 1840+3920= 5760 total people who test positive,
  • 1840 will have the disease

<u>Thus, the probability is: </u>

  • 1840/​5760 ​​ ≈0.3194 = 32%

So, out of people who test positive actually 32% has the disease.

Answer:

$3.48 for each pair of socks.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a little confusing, because it says they're buying 2 socks, but then asks for the price of each of 2 *pairs* of socks. I'm going to believe the first sentence should say they paid for 2 pairs of socks.

They have $10, and get $3.04 in change. So we'll subtract $3.04 from $10 to find out the cost of 2 pairs of socks.

10 - 3.04 = 6.96

Then divide $6.96 by 2 pairs of socks

6.96/2 = $3.48 for each pair of socks.

hypotenuse is \sqrt{202\\} \\\\\\\\

because 14^2 + 3^2 = c^2

sin is = \frac{3\sqrt{202} }{202}

cos is = \frac{14\sqrt{202} }{202}

tan is \frac{3}{14}
