Answer:

a) probability that neither is Tay-Sachs carrier is 0.9298

b) the probability that both are carriers is 0.001276

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

1 in 28 people of Ashkenazi jewish descent are Tay-Sachs carrier.

so P(Carrier) = 1/28 =

also P( Not a carrier) = 1 - 1/28 = 0.9643

Now After Sampling 1 man and 1 woman from the population;

a)

the probability neither is Tay-Sachs carrier

P( Neither is a Carrier) = 27/28 × 27/28 = 0.9298

Therefore probability that neither is Tay-Sachs carrier is 0.9298

b)

the probability both are carriers

P( Both are Carriers) = 1/28 × 1/28 = 0.001276

Therefore the probability that both are carriers is 0.001276

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation. y cos x = 5x2 + 3y2
lbvjy [14]
Step 1:
Start by putting \frac{d}{dx} in front of each term

\frac{d}{dx}[y cos x]= \frac{d}{dx}[5x^2]+ \frac{d}{dx}[ 3y^2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2:

Deal with the terms in 'x' and the constant terms
\frac{d}{dx}[ycosx]= 10x+ \frac{d}{dx} [3y^2]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3:

Use the chain rule for the terms in 'y'
\frac{d}{dx}[ycosx]=10x+6y \frac{dy}{dx}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4:

Use the product rule on the term in 'x' and 'y'
(y) \frac{d}{dx} cos x+(cos x) \frac{d}{dx}y =10x+6y \frac{dy}{dx}

y(-siny)+(cosx) \frac{dy}{dx} =10x+6y \frac{dy}{dx}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5:

Rearrange to make \frac{dy}{dx} the subject
-y sin(y)+cos(x) \frac{dy}{dx} =10x+6y \frac{dy}{dx}
cos(x)  \frac{dy}{dx}-6y \frac{dy}{dx}=10x+y sin(y)
[cos(x) - 6y]  \frac{dy}{dx}=10x + y sin(y)
\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{10x+ysin(y)}{cos(x)-6y} ⇒ Final Answer
