Elodia [21]

Answer:

Correct option: (a) 0.1452

Step-by-step explanation:

The new test designed for detecting TB is being analysed.

Denote the events as follows:

D = a person has the disease

X = the test is positive.

The information provided is:

$P(D)=0.88\\P(X|D)=0.97\\P(X^{c}|D^{c})=0.99$

Compute the probability that a person does not have the disease as follows:

$P(D^{c})=1-P(D)=1-0.88=0.12$

The probability of a person not having the disease is 0.12.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D)=P(X^{c}|D)P(D)\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times P(D)\\=[1-0.97]\times 0.88\\=0.03\times 0.88\\=0.0264$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does not have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})=P(X^{c}|D^{c})P(D^{c})\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times{1- P(D)]\\=0.99\times 0.12\\=0.1188$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative as follows:

$P(X^{c})=P(X^{c}\cap D)+P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})$

$=0.0264+0.1188\\=0.1452$

Thus, the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease is 0.1452.

If a worker can do his job in 5 hours, and a student can do the same job in 8 hours, what part of the work is left to finish aft

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Part of work left to finish after two work hours is 7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate their joint work rate

That will be;

1/(1/5 + 1/8) = 1/(13/40) = 40/13

This means that they will complete the task in 40/13 hours

1 whole part takes 40/13

x part will take 2 hours

x * 40/13 = 2

40x = 26

x = 26/40

So the part that will be completed in two hours is 26/40

This means that the part left to complete will be:

1 - 26/40 = 14/40 = 7/20
