Points J and K are midpoints of the sides of triangle FGH. Triangle F G H is cut by lines segment J K. Point J is the midpoint o

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Value of y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

By the midpoint theorem of the triangles,

"Segment joining midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and measure half the length of the third side."

Therefore, from the figure attached,

In ΔFGH,

J and K are the mid points of the two sides GH and FH.

By theorem, segment JK║GF and m(JK) = $\frac{1}{2}m(FG)$

$(2y+5)=\frac{1}{2}(5y+3)$

(5y + 3) = 2(2y + 5)

5y + 3 = 4y + 10

5y - 4y = 10 - 3

y = 7

Suppose 10000 people are given a medical test for a disease. About1% of all people have this condition. The test results have a

Alina [70]

Answer:

The percent of the people who tested positive actually have the disease is 38.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = a person has the disease

P = the test result is positive

N = the test result is negative

Given:

$P(X)=0.01\\P(P|X^{c})=0.15\\P(N|X)=0.10$

Compute the value of P (P|X) as follows:

$P(P|X)=1-P(P|X^{c})=1-0.15=0.85$

Compute the probability of a positive test result as follows:

$P(P)=P(P|X)P(X)+P(P|X^{c})P(X^{c})\\=(0.85\times0.10)+(0.15\times0.90)\\=0.22$

Compute the probability of a person having the disease given that he/she was tested positive as follows:

$P(X|P)=\frac{P(P|X)P(X)}{P(P)}=\frac{0.85\times0.10}{0.22} =0.3864$

The percentage of people having the disease given that he/she was tested positive is, 0.3864 × 100 = 38.64%.
