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). When the test is given to adults over 40 who do not have diabetes, it marks 3.5% positive for the disease (this is an incorrect diagnosis). Round your final answers to three decimal places.

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

Answer:

B and C work. A and D do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of those questions that you have to go through each answer to see what the results are. You don't have to go far to eliminate A and D so let's do that first.

A]

5n + 6

Let n = 1

5(1) + 6

5 + 6= 11

However there is trouble beginning with n = 2

5*2 + 6

10 + 6

16     All you need is one wrong answer and the choice is toast. So A won't work.

================

Try D

6(n - 1)+ 5

n=0

6*(-1) + 5

-6 + 5

- 1

And D has been eliminated with just 1 attempt. n= 2 or n = 1 would be even worse.  D is not one of the answers.

=============

B

Let n = 1

6(1) + 5

6 + 5

11 The first term works.

n = 2

6*(2) + 5

12 + 5

17 and n = 2 works as well. Just in case it is hard to believe, let's try n = 3 because so far, everything is fine.

n = 3

6*(3) + 5

18 + 5

23 And this also works. I'll let you deal with n = 4

========

C

n = 0

6(0 + 1) + 5

6*1 + 5

6 + 5

11

n = 1

6(1 + 1) + 5

6*2 + 5

12 + 5

17 which works.

So C is an answer.

Since you are given that the student registered early, the total number you deal with is all students who registered early.

211 + 329 = 540

number of undergraduates who registered early = 211

Among students who registered early:

p(undergraduate) = 211/540

Answer:

f(x) = 2π (11 + sin x) √(1 + cos²x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a curve rotated about y = a is:

S = ∫ 2π (y − a) ds,

where ds = √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx.

y = 6 + sin x, and a = -5.  dy/dx = cos x.  Plugging in:

S = ∫₀²ᵖⁱ 2π (6 + sin x − -5) √(1 + cos²x) dx

S = ∫₀²ᵖⁱ 2π (11 + sin x) √(1 + cos²x) dx

Therefore, f(x) = 2π (11 + sin x) √(1 + cos²x).
