Deer ticks can be carriers of either Lyme disease or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). Based on a recent study, suppose tha

t 16% of all ticks in a certain location carry Lyme disease, 10% carry HGE, and 10% of the ticks that carry at least one of these diseases in fact carry both of them. If a randomly selected tick is found to have carried HGE, what is the probability that the selected tick is also a carrier of Lyme disease

Answer:

0.2364

Step-by-step explanation:

We will take

Lyme = L

HGE = H

P(L) = 16% = 0.16

P(H) = 10% = 0.10

P(L ∩ H) = 0.10 x p(L U H)

Using the addition theorem

P(L U H) = p(L) + P(H) - P(L ∩ H)

P(L U H) = 0.16 + 0.10 - 0.10 * p(L u H)

P(L U H) = 0.26 - 0.10p(L u H)

We collect like terms

P(L U H) + 0.10P(L U H) = 0.26

This can be rewritten as:

P(L U H)[1 +0.1] = 0.26

Then we have,

1.1p(L U H) = 0.26

We divide through by 1.1

P(L U H) = 0.26/1.1

= 0.2364

Therefore

P(L ∩ H) = 0.10 x 0.2364

The probability of tick also carrying lyme disease

P(L|H) = p(L ∩ H)/P(H)

= 0.1x0.2364/0.1

= 0.2364

A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5. Where n represents the number of the term for n>1 and f(1)=-4. What are
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5.

Where n represents the number of the term for n>1

First Put n = 2

f(2)=f(2-1)+5.

    = f (1) + 5

    = -4 + 5

    = 1

Second Put n = 3

f(3)=f(3-1)+5.

    = f (2) + 5

    = 1 + 5

    = 6

Third Put n = 4

f(4)=f(4-1)+5.

    = f (3) + 5

    =  6+ 5

    = 11

Second Put n = 5

f(5)=f(5-1)+5.

    = f (4) + 5

    = 11 + 5

    = 16

Therefore the first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.

Write f(x) in a non-factored way from polynomial equation f(x)=(x+2)(-x+3)(x-2)?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

f(x) = -x³ + 3x² + 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x+2)(-x+3)(x-2)

Step 1. Use the difference of two squares

(x + 2)(x - 2) = x² - 4

f(x) = (-x + 3)(x² - 4)

Step 2. Long multiplication

x² - 4

<u>-x  + 3               </u>

-x³           + 4x

<u>      + 3x²         - 12</u>

-x³ + 3x² + 4x - 12

f(x) = -x³ + 3x² + 4x - 12
