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

Answer:

Emily is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jamie is 47 and she is 4 less than 3 times older than Emily, you want to start by doing the opposite of each identifying word. Remember to work backwards. 4 less means minus 4, but you want to do the opposite so you will add 4 to 47. 47 + 4 = 51 Then if it says 3 times this mean multiplication but again, we wanna do the opposite so 51 ÷ 3 = 17

To check it Multiply 17 by 3 and then subtract 4. 17*3=51 51-4=47

Answer:

Angle 2 = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these angles are cut by a transversal the angle from above is congruent to angle #2. You can say the theorem that is used to make these two congruent is the Alternate exterior angles theorem which states this.

Hope this helped!

The probability that a tennis set will go to a tie-breaker is 19%. what is the probability that two of three sets will go to tie
Savatey [412]
Probability of  2 sets going to tie-breaker = 0.19*0.19 =  0.0361

there are 3 ways that 2 out of 3 sets are tiebreakers 
so required probability =  3 * 0.0361 = 0.1083

=   10.83%
