defon2 years ago
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%*

sattari [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a statistical question and what is its purpose? Be sure to include the 3 characteristics. That makes it up.

Answer- and statistical question is a question that guides research by defining the population of a given topic and that anticipates variability in the collected data. The purpose of a statistical question is it is the first step of the statistical process. The 3 characteristics  of a statistical question are allows for clear responses, includes a specific population, and anticipates variability of the data.

What does it mean for data to have variability as it refers to statistical questions? Give an example.

A statistical question has more than one possible answer

Example- how many chores do you have? Some people might say 5 or 2 or even 0. It just depends on the person's family.

Well a dot diagram is like this for example,

And a histogram is this,

Dot diagram uses dots and the histogram uses bars.

When would we use them? Well that I can explain, you can use the dot diagram  to see what pets people have or even to see how many people scored how many points.

A histogram can be used for a concert. There would be like on the bottom,  0-6, 7-12, and so on. The bars show how many people from what age group are joining the concert.

Explain the difference between center and shape of a data set.

The center is the median and/ or mean of the data. The spread is the range of the data. And, the shape describes the type of graph.

hope this helps give brainiest.

The population of a town is decreasing at a rate of 3.2% per year. In 2015, there were 14,250 people. What is the first year tha
notsponge [240]
The answer is D
you would set up an equation like this
14,250 x .032
this will give you how much the population is decreasing per year. Which is 456 people per year.
You then take 2015 and find the difference between that number and 2025 and do it with all of the other years too.
For example 2025-2015 is 10 years
You then take 10 x 456 to tell you how much the of population you lost in those 10 years. You will then take that number which is 4,560 and do 14,250-4,560 to get 9,650.

12x-39&lt;9 and -4x+3&lt;-6
gulaghasi [49]
Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides


and when multiply or divide by a negative in inequalities, flip the direction of the sign

12x-39<9
add 39 to both sides
12x<48
divde bothh sides by 12
x<4



-4x+3<-6
minus 3 both sides
-4x<-9
times both sides by -1 and flip sign
4x>9
divide both sides by 4
x>9/4
