The problem states that 15% of the result are false positive, but it asks about for results that are not false positive, so we should focus on 85% or .85 to express it as a probability value. Then the problem ask about 8 random people taking the test, since it is not mentioned that the results of the test are connected in some way we can assume that they are independent. In that case we can solve it by .85^8, which is .27. The result is 27% of probability

The sentences "The dog chased the cat" and "The cat chased the dog" mean different things even though they contain the same word
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Syntax.

Explanation:

What Syntax studies is the principles and processes of sentences in a particular language, including the word order. In this case, the sentences "The dog chased the cat" and "The cat chased the dog" mean different things because of the word order: The dog chased the cat means that the dog was running behind the cat, after him. If the cat chased the dog, the opposite. In this simple example we notice the importance of syntax and the word order in a sentence. It's not the same if we say "The man was helped by the medic" rather than "The medic was helped by the man" even if it shares the exact same words.
