Suppose you're hiring a new worker for your business. You'd like someone reliable. Suppose you use administer a test to job-seek

ers many other employers use to determine if applicants have this trait. The test is 90% senstitive and 95% specific. If 60 unreliable people apply and 20 reliable people apply, how many positive results will you have

Answer:

You will have 21 positive results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensitivity of test:

Is the true positive rate, that is, the proportion of positive results that give positive tests.

Specificity of test:

True negative rate, that is, the proportion of negative results that give negative tests.

90% sensitive, 20 reliable people apply

0.9*20 = 18

95% specific, 60 unreliable people apply

1 - 0.95 = 0.05 of positive results.

0.05*60 = 3

How many positive results will you have?

18 + 3 = 21

You will have 21 positive results.

The heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed with mean 68 inches and standard deviation 3 inches. What
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is greater than 65 inches tall is 0.8413.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed with mean 68 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches.

Let X = <u><em>heights of 18-year-old men.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=68,\sigma^{2} =3^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                              Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean height = 68 inches

           \sigma = standard deviation = 3 inches

Now, the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is greater than 65 inches tall is given by = P(X > 65 inches)

       P(X > 65 inches) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{65-68}{3} ) = P(Z > -1) = P(Z < 1)

                                                                = <u>0.8413</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1 in the z table which has an area of 0.8413.

Given h(x) = 2x - 1, find h(-1).
patriot [66]

Answer:

h(-1) =-3

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 2x - 1

Let x = -1

h(-1) = 2(-1) -1

h(-1) = -2-1

h(-1) = -3

This is really confusing me:<br> Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

  a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}

__

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9

Answer A, B, C, Please, and Thanks!
DochEvi [55]

A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.

The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.

(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.

B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.

C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.

  1. Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
  2. Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.
