The cost of 1 chocolate cake is $ 6 and cost of 1 vanilla cake is $ 7
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "c" be the cost of 1 chocolate cake
Let "v" be the cost of 1 vanilla cake
<em><u>Jenny sold 14 chocolate cakes and 5 vanilla cakes for 119 dollars</u></em>
Therefore, we can frame a equation as:
14 x cost of 1 chocolate cake + 5 x cost of 1 vanilla cake = 119
14c + 5v = 119 ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Natalie sold 10 chocolate cakes and 10 vanilla cakes for 130 dollars</u></em>
Therefore, we can frame a equation as:
10 x cost of 1 chocolate cake + 10 x cost of 1 vanilla cake = 130
10c + 10v = 130 -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
Multiply eqn 1 by 2
28c + 10v = 238 ------ eqn 3
<em><u>Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3</u></em>
28c + 10v = 238
10c + 10v = 130
( - ) --------------------------
18c = 108
c = 6
<em><u>Substitute c = 6 in eqn 1</u></em>
14(6) + 5v = 119
84 + 5v = 119
5v = 119 - 84
5v = 35
v = 7
Thus cost of 1 chocolate cake is $ 6 and cost of 1 vanilla cake is $ 7
Solution:
Population in the city= 10,000
As genetic condition affects 8% of the population.
8 % of 10,000
As, it is also given that, there is an error rate of 1% for condition (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).
So, 1% false negatives means out of 800 tested who are found affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found affected are not affected at all.
So, 1% of 800
Also, 1% false positives means out of 10,000 tested,[10,000-800= 9200] who are found not affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found not affected can be affected also.
So, 1% of 9200
1. Has condition Does not have condition totals = 800
2. Test positive =92
3. Test negative =8
4. Total =800 +92 +8=900
5. Probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive= As 8% are found positive among 10,000 means 9200 are not found affected.But there are chances that out of 9200 , 1% may be affected
that is Probability equal to 0.01 or 1%.
