Answer:

false negatives - 2%

false positives - 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question :

A test to detect an infection gives a positive result 98% of the time when an infection is present. It is 97% accurate when an infection is not present.

% of results will be false negatives, and % of results will be false positives.

False negative means a negative result which in actuality it is positive

False negative = 100% - percent of positive result

100% - 98% = 2%

False positive result means a positive result which in actuality is negative

False positive = 100% - percent of false positive

100 - 97 = 3%

<h3 /><h3>What is the nature of the graph of a quadratic equation?</h3>

The nature of the graphical representation of a quadratic equation with an even degree and a positive leading coefficient will give a parabola curve.

Given that we have a function f(x) = an even degree and a positive leading coefficient. i.e.

  • y = f(x) = 2x²+ 4

The domain of this function varies from -∞ < x < ∞ and the parabolic curve will be positioned on the upward left and upward right x-axis.
