do you mean

6+(-5-7)/2-8(3)?

-5-7= -12

6+-12/2-8(3)

8(3)=24

6+-12/2-24

-12/2=-6

6+-6-24

6+-6=0

0-24= 24

Find the absolute maximum value for the function f(x) = x^2 − 4, on the interval [–3, 0) U (0, 2].

Andreyy89

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function $y=x^2 -4$ is

decreasing for all $x\in [-3,0);$
is increasing for all $x\in (0,2]$

(see attached diagram for details).

The maximum value of the function is at endpoints -3 or 2. find y(-3) and y(2):

$y(-3)=(-3)^2-4=9-4=5\\ \\y(2)=4^2-4=0$

So, the maximum value is 5.

It is believed that 3% of people actually have this predisposition. The genetic test is 99% accurate if a person actually has th

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Required Probability = 0.605

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Probability of people actually having predisposition, P(PD) = 0.03

Probability of people not having predisposition, P(PD') = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

Let PR = event that result are positive

Probability that the test is positive when a person actually has the predisposition, P(PR/PD) = 0.99

Probability that the test is positive when a person actually does not have the predisposition, P(PR/PD') = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

So, probability that a randomly selected person who tests positive for the predisposition by the test actually has the predisposition = P(PD/PR)

Using Bayes' Theorem to calculate above probability;

P(PD/PR) = $\frac{P(PD)*P(PR/PD)}{P(PD)*P(PR/PD)+P(PD')*P(PR/PD')}$

= $\frac{0.03*0.99}{0.03*0.99+0.97*0.02}$ = $\frac{0.0297}{0.0491}$ = 0.605 .
