3 0

Answer: 0.31 or 31%

Let A be the event that the disease is present in a particular person

Let B be the event that a person tests positive for the disease

The problem asks to find P(A|B), where

P(A|B) = P(B|A)*P(A) / P(B) = (P(B|A)*P(A)) / (P(B|A)*P(A) + P(B|~A)*P(~A))

In other words, the problem asks for the probability that a positive test result will be a true positive.  

P(B|A) = 1-0.02 = 0.98 (person tests positive given that they have the disease)

P(A) = 0.009 (probability the disease is present in any particular person)

P(B|~A) = 0.02 (probability a person tests positive given they do not have the disease)

P(~A) = 1-0.009 = 0.991 (probability a particular person does not have the disease)

P(A|B) = (0.98*0.009) / (0.98*0.009 + 0.02*0.991)

= 0.00882 / 0.02864 = 0.30796

*round however you need to but i am leaving it at 0.31 or 31%*

Una limusina cuesta $ 85 para alquilar por 3 horas más un 7% de impuesto sobre las ventas. Cúal es el costo total
Sati [7]

Answer:

$181.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Si cuesta 85 dólares por 3 horas, queremos duplicarlo para obtener la cantidad por 6 horas, que es 170 dólares. Esto es antes del impuesto a las ventas. Puede encontrar la cantidad después del impuesto a las ventas multiplicando 170 por 1.07. Hace esto porque el 100 por ciento del costo sería 170 por 1 y el 7 por ciento es .07, por lo que si desea el 107 por ciento del costo, debe hacerlo 170 por 1.07. Esto funciona porque toma el 7 por ciento de 170 y lo agrega al costo total. También puede hacer esto 170 veces .07. Luego suma el producto a 170. 181,9 es la respuesta final.

English- If it costs 85 dollars for 3 hours we want to double that to get the amount for 6 hours which is 170 dollars. This is before sales tax. You can find the amount after sales tax by multiplying 170 by 1.07. You do this because 100 percent of the cost would be 170 times 1, and 7 percent is .07, so if you want 107 percent of the cost you want to do 170 times 1.07. This works because it takes 7 percent of 170 and adds it to the total cost. You could also do this by 170 times .07. Then add the product to 170. 181.9 is the final answer.

Answer:

3.5 hours traveling

2.5 hours stationary

Step-by-step explanation:

When the line is horizontal, the distance isn't changing, so she is stationary, so just add the total time the line is horizontal.

Likewise, all other lines represent traveling.
