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

Summarize America’s position when World War l broke out.
stira [4]

Answer: America was neutral at the beginning of the war.

Explanation:

Woodward Wilson proposed the entry of America into the war on April 2, 1917. Four days later, Congress approved it. Until that moment, America was neutral. In America, there was a general lack of public interest in entering the war. Also, the United States had economic reasons for withdrawing from the war. Namely, in the first years of the war, Britain, and France quadrupled the import of weapons from the United States, which brought the country a huge financial gain. The public supported the government's decision on neutrality, during which time there were active slogans addressed to then-President Wilson that read "He who saved us from the war."

As the war progressed, the U.S. government worried that they might run out of money from selling weapons to France and Britain if they lost the war. One of the key factors involved in the war was the sinking of American ships by Germany. Also, Germany offered Mexico a secret war alliance and the return of territories that Mexico had lost to America. These were the key factors that changed the American attitude towards neutrality.
