A diagnostic test for a disease is such that it (correctly) detects the disease in 90% of the individuals who actually have the

disease. Also, if a person does not have the disease, the test will report that he or she does not have it with probability 0.9. Only 3% of the population has the disease in question. If a person is chosen at random from the population and the diagnostic test indicates that she has the disease, what is the conditional probability that she does, in fact, have the disease

Answer:

0.2177 = 21.77% conditional probability that she does, in fact, have the disease

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Test positive

Event B: Has the disease

Probability of a positive test:

90% of 3%(has the disease).

1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10% of 97%(does not have the disease). So

P(A) = 0.90*0.03 + 0.1*0.97 = 0.124

Intersection of A and B:

Positive test and has the disease, so 90% of 3%

P(A \cap B) = 0.9*0.03 = 0.027

What is the conditional probability that she does, in fact, have the disease

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.027}{0.124} = 0.2177

0.2177 = 21.77% conditional probability that she does, in fact, have the disease

Mathematical connection A lighthouse casts a revolving beam of light as far as the pier
Alexandra [31]

The light's coverage area is given mathematically as i.e. Area=\pi d^{2}

Given that a lighthouse casts a revolving beam of light as far as they peir and asked the area is covered.

The revolving beam of light covers the whole space i.e entirely 360°

I.e. it forms a circle-like region

Area of circle = \pi r^{2}{ where r is the radius of circle}

Let's assume the distance traveled by light as "d"

as it forms a circular region, it forms a circle of radius "d"

Mathematical connection i.e. area of the region

⇒area of circular region=\pi d^{2} {where d is the radius of region}

|4x-9|=5x Does anybody know the answer to this ?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

|4x-9|=5x

subtract 4 to both sides

and that will give you

|-9|=x then the 9 turns positive because of the brackets

9=X

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?
Maslowich

Answer:

  (a)  There are two complex roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic function describes the nature of its roots:

  • <u>negative</u>: two complex roots
  • <u>zero</u>: one real root (multiplicity 2)
  • <u>positive</u>: two distinct real roots.

__

Your discriminant of -8 is <em>negative</em>, so it indicates ...

  There are two complex roots

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We generally study polynomials with <em>real coefficients</em>. These will never have an odd number of complex roots. Their complex roots always come in conjugate pairs.
