Answer:

p=-4 which means that you do 5*-4-6 then you apply order of operations by multiplying first then you sub tract, so your answer is -26

In the figure, three line segments cross at a common point. Angle A is 45°, and angle E is 85°. What is the measurement of angle

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: Measure angle H = 42°

Step-by-step explanation:

"In a triangle, the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent angles to the exterior angle"

In given we have,

angle E is an exterior angle to triangle DFH

The two non-adjacent angles to angle E are angles D and H

Based on the above rule,

measure angle E = measure angle D + measure angle H

We are given this:

angle E = 87°

angle D = 45°

Substitute with the givens in the above rule and solve for the measure of angle H as follows:

angle E = angle D + angle H

87° = 45° + measure angle H

measure angle H = 87° - 45°

measure angle H = 42°

Hope this helped!

All athletes at the Olympic Games (OG) are tested for performance-enhancing steroid drug use. The basic Anabolic Steroid Test (A

Semenov [28]

Answer:

a ) the probability of using steroids and having a negative test is 0.5%

b) The probability of testing positive is 6.4%

c) The probability of not using steroids, given that the test is negative is 99.47%

d) No, they are not statistically indepent.

e) The probability that the athlete will either use steroids or test positive is 6.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the test result is positive and B the event that the athlete uses Steroids. We are given the following

$P(A|B) = 90%, P(A|B^c) = 2%, P(B) = 5%$

From which we deduce that

$P(A^c|B) = 10%, P(B^c) = 95%$

a) We are asked for the probability $P(A^c\cap B)$ . REcall the conditional probability formula that, given two events C,D the conditional probability $P(C|D) = \frac{P(C\cap D)}{P(D)}$ . Then we have that

$P(A^c\cap B) = P(A^c|B)P(B) = 10\% \cdot 5\%=0.5\%$ .

b) We are asked for the probability P(A). We can use the fact that given two mutually exclusive events(that is, whose intersection is empty) A,B the probability P(C) of an event is given by $P(C) = P(C|A)P(A)+P(C|B)P(B)$ . Then

$P(A) = P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B^c)P(B^c) = 90\%\cdot5\% + 2\% \cdot 95% = 6.4\%$

c) We are asked for the probability P(B^c|A^c). Recall that $P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$ . Then

$P(B^c|A^c) = \frac{P(A^c|B^c)P(B^c)}{P(A^c)}= \frac{P(A^c|B^c)P(B^c)}{1-P(A)}= \frac{(1-P(A|B^c))P(B^c)}{1-P(A)}=\frac{98\%\cdot 95\%}{1-6.4\%}= 99.47\%$

d) We say that two events A,B are statistically indepent if P(A|B) = P(A). Note that from point B the probability of testing negative is 1- 6.4% = 93.6%. Since 93.6% is different from 99.47% this means that testing positive and using steroids are not statistically independent.

e) We are asked for the probability $P(A\cup B)$ . We use the following

$P(A\cupB) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B) = P(A) +P(B)-P(A|B)P(B) = 6.4\%+5\%-90\%\cdot 5\%=6.9\%$
