Answer:

$2,821.51

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount made be plumber = $51,482

rate of income tax = 5.5%

Therefore, amount of income tax in dollars and cents that would be paid by the plumber would be 5.5% of his amount made

= 5.5% of 51482

= (5.5/100)×51,482

= $2,821.51

2.5% of a population are infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely ac
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

P(disease/positivetest) = 0.36116

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's name the events :

I : ''A person is infected''

NI : ''A person is not infected''

PT : ''The test is positive''

NT : ''The test is negative''

The conditional probability equation is :

Given two events A and B :

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

P(B) >0

P(A/B) is the probability of the event A given that the event B happened

P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the event (A ∩ B)

(A ∩ B) is the event where A and B happened at the same time

In the exercise :

P(I)=0.025

P(NI)= 1-P(I)=1-0.025=0.975\\P(NI)=0.975

P(PT/I)=0.904\\P(PT/NI)=0.041

We are looking for P(I/PT) :

P(I/PT)=P(I∩ PT)/ P(PT)

P(PT/I)=0.904

P(PT/I)=P(PT∩ I)/P(I)

0.904=P(PT∩ I)/0.025

P(PT∩ I)=0.904 x 0.025

P(PT∩ I) = 0.0226

P(PT/NI)=0.041

P(PT/NI)=P(PT∩ NI)/P(NI)

0.041=P(PT∩ NI)/0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.041 x 0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.039975

P(PT) = P(PT∩ I)+P(PT∩ NI)

P(PT)= 0.0226 + 0.039975

P(PT) = 0.062575

P(I/PT) = P(PT∩I)/P(PT)

P(I/PT)=\frac{0.0226}{0.062575} \\P(I/PT)=0.36116

What is a and b pls answer ASAP I need it !!! Plsss
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The value of a = 5.

the value of b = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points on the line

  • (6, 10)
  • (a, 8)
  • (4, b)
  • (2, 2)

Given that all of the points are on the same line and the line represents a linear function.

Thus, the slope between any two points must be the same.

First, determine the slope between (6, 10) and (2, 2)

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 10)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 2)

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

               =  [2 - 10] / [2 - 6]

               = -8 / -4  

               = 2

Thus, the slope of the line = m = 2

Determine the value 'a'

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 10)

(x₂, y₂) = (a, 8)

Using the slope formula to determine the value of 'a'

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

As the slope between two points is 2.

now substitute slope = 2, (x₁, y₁) = (6, 10) and (x₂, y₂) = (a, 8) in the slope formula

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

2 = [8 - 10] / [a - 6]

2(a - 6) = 8 - 10

2a - 12 = -2

2a = -2 + 12

2a = 10

divide both sides by 2

a = 5

Therefore, the value of a = 5.

Determine the value 'b'

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 2)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, b)

Using the slope formula to determine the value of 'b'

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

As the slope between two points is 2.

now substitute slope = 2, (x₁, y₁) = (2, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (4, b) in the slope formula

Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

2 = [b - 2] / [4 - 2]

2(4 - 2) = b - 2

8 - 4 =b - 2

4 = b - 2

b = 6

Therefore, the value of b = 6

Luda [366]

Answer:

It is not

Step-by-step explanation:

If you pythagores- a^2+b^2=c^2

You will get 4^2+6^2=8^2

16+36=64

52=64

This is not true
