Answer:

Temperature on Monday was 2 degrees Fahrenheit.

Temperature on Tuesday was absolute value of 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Absolute value is always a positive number but the actual temperature could have been positive or negative 4 degrees.

  • | ± 4 | = 4

If it was positive, then Rachel is correct, but if negative, then Tom is correct.

14. Suppose that 1 out of every 10,000 doctors in a certain region is infected with the SARS virus; in the same region, 20 out o
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The person in the at-risk population is much more likely to actually have the disease

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a randomly selected doctor having the disease is 1 in 1,000 (P(I)=0.0001).

The probability that a doctor is infected with SARS, given that they tested positive is:

P(I|+)=\frac{P(I)*0.99}{P(I)*0.99+(1-P(I))*0.01}\\P(I|+)=\frac{0.0001*0.99}{0.0001*0.99+(1-0.0001)*0.01}\\P(I|+)=9.9*10^{-3}

The probability of a randomly selected person from the at-risk population having the disease is 20 in 100 (P(I)=0.20).

The probability that a person in the at-risk population is infected with SARS, given that they tested positive is:

P(I|+)=\frac{P(I)*0.99}{P(I)*0.99+(1-P(I))*0.01}\\P(I|+)=\frac{0.2*0.99}{0.2*0.99+(1-0.2)*0.01}\\P(I|+)=0.962

Therefore, the person in the at-risk population is much more likely to actually have the disease

Since length • width = area you need to put the expression with “x” in (parenthesis) and put the number without a variable outside the parenthesis ex: d. would be 5(8-3x) because you would do what’s in the parenthesis first. In this case length is in the parentheses you would have 5(your answer) which means 5•your answer

BIG POINTS!!!+BRAINLIEST ANSWER!!! BONUS!!!
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of questions in the test be x

9 of the first 10 questions are correct

so only x-10 questions remain

3/10 of the (x-10) = 3/10(x-10) questions are correct

scored 50% for the whole test

so only half of x = x/2 questions are correct

combining the above:

9+3/10(x-10) = x/2

9+3/10x-3=x/2

9-3=(1/2-3/10)x

1/5x=6

x=30
