When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that $p = 0.06$

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.06)^{0}.(0.94)^{3} = 0.8306$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.8306 = 0.1694$

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

11. Four less than a number tripled is the same number increased by ten.<br> What is the number?

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".

set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:

3x-4=x+10

next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:

2x-4=10

then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:

2x=14

finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:

x=7.

The number is 7.
