When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that $p = 0.06$

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.06)^{0}.(0.94)^{3} = 0.8306$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.8306 = 0.1694$

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Find the nth terms of the following Ap 100, 91, 82

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The nth term is 109-9n

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence

Mathematically, we have the nth term as;

Tn = a + (n-1)d

where a is the first term which is 100 in this case

d is the common difference which is the value obtained by subtracting the preceding term from the succeeding term; it is constant throughout the sequence

The value here is thus;

82-91 = 91-100 = -9

Substituting these values

Tn = 100 + (n-1)-9

Tn = 100 -9n + 9

Tn = 100 + 9 - 9n

Tn = 109-9n

You have 24 months left until you graduate and you plan on buying yourself a new $20,000 car on graduation day. If you invest $3

shusha [124]

Answer: No, the money won't be enough to buy the car

Step-by-step explanation:

you plan on buying yourself a new $20,000 car on graduation day and graduation day is 24 months time. If you invest $300 a month for the next 24 months.

The principal amount, p = 300

He is earning 4% a month, it means that it was compounded once in four months. This also means that it was compounded quarterly. So

n = 4

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 4%. So

r = 4/100 = 0.04

It was compounded for a total of 24 months. This is equivalent to 2 years. So

n = 2

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount that would be compounded at the end of n years.

A = 300(1 + (0.04/4)/4)^4×2

A = 300(1 + 0.01)^8

A = 300(1.01)^8

A = $324.857

The total amount at the end of 24 months is below the cost of the car which is $20000. So he won't have enough money to buy the car

A basketball player completed 44.2% of his field goals in the most recent season. He made 287 field goals. How many did he att

Andrej [43]

44.2%= 287

Let the total attempt = x

(287/x) ×100 = 44.2

287/x = 44.2/100

287/x = 0.442

x = 287/0.442

Hope this will help...
