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

How might this number be shown on a calculator?<br> 5.31x1037 (37 is above 10)<br> [?]e[ ]
Arisa [49]

Answer:

5.31E37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5.31 * 10^{37}

Required

How it'd be displayed on a calculator

Standard calculators, today are built to always convert huge numbers or extremely small number to scientific notations;

This was done to allow the calculator fit each values on its screen

5.31 * 10^{37} is such a big number that it'll require the calculator to display it using scientific notations;

So, basically we have to convert 5.31 * 10^{37} to scientific notaton;

This is achieved by replacing *10^{37} with E37

So, 5.31 * 10^{37} is equivalent to 5.31E37

Error Analysis: George was trying to rearrange the formula below to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. by
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

George's mistake would be:

Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b

y + 20 = 2(x +20)

y + 20 = 2x + 40

   - 20          - 20

----------------------

y = 2x + 20

(Should have been the answer)

BUT,

George's Solving:

y + 20 = 2(x + 20)

y + 20 = -x + 20

George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.
