Answer: 96 / 4 ^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence with a first term of 96. The common ratio is the division of the 2nd term by the first term. This will be:

24/96 = 1/4

a = 96

r = 1/4

The formula will be:

ar ^n-1

= 96 × (1/4)^n-1

The concluding part is explained in the attached file.

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.

5. During the season, the Rangers played 25 games. They won 14 of the games.
sertanlavr [38]
Answer is 11/25 games lost which is 44%.

Step by step. 25 games minus 14 they won equals 11 games lost out of 25.

11 out of 25 = 11/25.

11/25 as a % - 11 divided by 25 = .44 which is 44%.

Check your work, 44% of 25 games = 11 games lost.
Problem solved.
