<h3>Answer: 5 hours</h3>

==================================================

Here are two ways to solve

Method 1

First determine her speed if she goes 737 miles in 11 hours.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

737 = r*11

737 = 11r

11r = 737

r = 737/11

r = 67

Her speed is 67 mph. Use this to find how long it would take if she drove 335 miles.

d = r*t

d/r = t

t = d/r

t = 335/67

t = 5 hours is the time it takes to drive 335 miles assuming Martina drives at the same speed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2

We can use a proportion to solve

(distance 1)/(time 1) = (distance 2)/(time 2)

(737 miles)/(11 hours) = (335 miles)/(x hours)

737/11 = 335/x

737*x = 335*11 .... cross multiply

737x = 3685

x = 3685/737 ..... divide both sides by 737

x = 5

We get the same answer of 5 hours.

A new test to detect TB has been designed. It is estimated that 88% of people taking this test have the disease. The test detect

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Correct option: (a) 0.1452

Step-by-step explanation:

The new test designed for detecting TB is being analysed.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = a person has the disease

<em>X</em> = the test is positive.

The information provided is:

$P(D)=0.88\\P(X|D)=0.97\\P(X^{c}|D^{c})=0.99$

Compute the probability that a person does not have the disease as follows:

$P(D^{c})=1-P(D)=1-0.88=0.12$

The probability of a person not having the disease is 0.12.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D)=P(X^{c}|D)P(D)\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times P(D)\\=[1-0.97]\times 0.88\\=0.03\times 0.88\\=0.0264$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does not have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})=P(X^{c}|D^{c})P(D^{c})\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times{1- P(D)]\\=0.99\times 0.12\\=0.1188$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative as follows:

$P(X^{c})=P(X^{c}\cap D)+P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})$

$=0.0264+0.1188\\=0.1452$

Thus, the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease is 0.1452.
