It is estimated that approximately 10.5% of Americans are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a new diagnostic test is being c

hecked for its accuracy. When the test is given to adults over 40 who have diabetes, it marks 95% positive for the disease (this is a correct diagnosis).

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of americans with diabetes = 10.5% = 0.105

Percentage of americans without diabetes = 89.5% = 0.895

Adults over 40 with diabetes tested positive = 95% = 0.95

Adults over 40 with diabetes tested negative = 5% = 0.05

Adults over 40 without diabetes tested positive = 3.5% = 0.035

Adults over 40 without diabetes tested negative = 96.5% = 0.965

The probability of selecting an adult over 40 without diabetes but positive diagnosis;

     = 0.895 * 0.035

     = 0.031325

     = 0.03

Charlie reads quickly . He reads 1and3/7 pages every 2/3 minutes.How many pages does he read pre minute?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Hello there!

First, we need to admit that math is a hard subject. So, how do we handle hard stuff? We find an easy way. Right?

Well same goes here. They give the fractions to drive us crazy. Let's find the easiest way...

The easiest way is to turn them into decimals.
1 3/7 = 1.42 which is the amount of pages he reads
2/3 = 0.67 minute.

The are asking us how many pages does he reads per minute.

So we gonna say:
Charlie reads 1.42 pages ......> 0.67
Charlie reads x pages.............> 1minute

Cross multiply

0.67 * x = 1 * 1.42
0.67x = 1.42
x = 1.42/0.67
x = 2.11

So, Charlie reads 2.11 pages in 1 minute.


I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have questions about the answer.

Thanks!
