g Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15​, find the probability of a positive result for two sampl

es combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely​ necessary?

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.

By using parallel lines and transversal lines concept we can prove m∠1=m∠5.

Given that, a║b and both the lines are intersected by transversal t.

We need to prove that m∠1=m∠5.

<h3>What is a transversal?</h3>

In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points.

m∠1+m∠3= 180° (Linear Pair Theorem)

m∠5+m∠6=180° (Linear Pair Theorem)

m∠1+m∠3=m∠5+m∠6

m∠3=m∠6

m∠1=m∠5 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

Hence, proved. By using parallel lines and transversal lines concept we can prove m∠1=m∠5.

A soccer ball kicked from the ground with an initial velocity of 32 ft/s is given by the function
Greeley [361]

Answer:

In words the answer is between t=0 and t=2.

In interval notation the answer is (0,2)

In inequality notation the answer is 0<t<2

Big note: You should make sure the function I use what you meant.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope the function is h(t)=-16t^2+32t because that is how I'm going to interpret it.

So if we can find when the ball is on the ground or has hit the ground (this is when h=0) then we can find when it is in the air which is between those 2 numbers.

0=-16t^2+32t

0=-16t(t-2)

So at t=0 and t=2

So the ball is in the air between t=0 and t=2

Interval notation (0,2)

Inequality notation 0<t<2

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

3/6 or 1/2 (50%)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 6 containers of each flavor, correct?

If you pick 3 of the same flavor, 3/6, it would look like that fraction.

If you simplify it, It'd be 1/2.

If you want it as a percent, It'd be 50%.

As a decimal, It's .50.
