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%*

(x - 6)^2 - 12 = x^2- 12x + c. What is the value of c?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

C = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6)² - 12 = x² - 12x + c

(x - 6) (x - 6) -12 = x² - 12x + c

x(x - 6) - 6(x - 6) - 12 = x² - 12x + c

x² - 6x -6x + 36 - 12 = x² - 12x + c

x² - 12x +36 - 12 = x² - 12x + c

x² - 12x + 24 =   x² - 12x + c

             24 = c

Find the y intercept​
erica [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line ST = Slope of line PQ = -3.

y = -3x + c

When x = 3, y = -1

=> (-1) = -3(3) + c, c = 8

Therefore the equation of line ST is y = -3x + 8 and the y-intercept is 8.
