Solution :

The objective is to obtain the \text{probability of a positive result} for 2 samples combined into a \text{mixture}.

Given that the \text{probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15}

The probability of the positive test result is calculated as follows :

P ( positive mixture ) = P(1 or more samples positive)

                                  = 1 - P (none +ve)

                                  = 1 - P ((-ve) x (-ve))

                                  $= 1-P(-ve )^2$

                                  $=1-[1-P(+ve)]^2$

                                  $=1-(1-0.15)^2$

                                  $=1-(0.85)^2$

                                  = 1 - 0.7225

                                  = 0.2775

No, the probability is not low enough.

What is the solution to the inequality below. x(absolute value) <5
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

-5 < x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| < 5

This can be split into two cases: x < 5 and -x < 5 because |x| could be either x or -x depending on whether x is positive, negative, or 0. Solving the second one we get x > -5 so the answer is -5 < x < 5.
