A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.1%. If the false negative rate is 8%

Mathematics

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%*

A livestock pen is built in the shape of a rectangle that is 2 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 30 feet. If the mat
shutvik [7]

Answer:

$57.5 is the total cost to build the pen.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A livestock pen is built in the shape of a rectangle.

The length of rectangle is two times the width.

Let l be the length of rectangle and w be the width of rectangle. Thus, we can write

l = 2w

Perimeter = 30 feet

\text{Perimeter of rectangle} = 30\\2\times (l\times w) = 30

Putting values,

2(2w + w) = 30\\6w = 30\\w = 5\\l = 2w = 10

The length of rectangle is 10 feet and width of rectangle is 5 feet.

If the material used to build the pen is $ 1.75 per foot for the longer sides and $ 2.25 per foot for the shorter sides

Cost of building =

=2\times(\text{Cost of length}\times \text{Length} + \text{Cost of width}\times \text{Width})\\=2\times(1.75\times 10 + 2.25\times 5)\\=57.5

Thus, $57.5 is the total cost to build the pen.

3(x - 2) + 48 = -3x
kow [346]

Answer: X=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

Step 1: Distribute the "3" in the part of the equation "3(x-2)"

3x - 6

Step 2: Consider the equation as a whole with the newly part of the equation from step 1, as it is a part of the equation

Therefore, re-written as,

3x - 6 + 48 = -3x

Step 3: Evaluate the re-written equation

Using basic mathematics skills, we can evaluate the following,

3x - 6 + 48 = -3x ➡ -6 + 48 = -6x ➡ 42 = -6x ➡ -7 = x

As shown, the answer is x=-7.

If 10 percent of x is 20 what is 23 percent of x
Zarrin [17]
X = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.
