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.

Solve for x.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = -3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = 0.4

0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)

-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4

0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4

Convert to fraction

2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4

Add 1/5 to both sides

-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20

2/5x = -26/20

Convert to decimal

0.4x = -1.3

-1.3/0.4 = -3.25

x = -3.25
