An organization is contemplating the implementation of a drug test as part of screening potential employees. The drug test is no

t 100% effective, i.e., it occasionally classifies drug users as nonusers and vice-versa. Assume that the null hypothesis for the test is that a job candidate is not a drug user. Which of the following would be a Type II error?
a. A false positive (concluding the job candidate is a drug user when he or she is not)
b. A true positive (concluding the job candidate is a drug user when he or she indeed is)
c. A false negative (concluding the job candidate is not a drug user when he or she indeed is)
d. A true negative (concluding the job candidate is not a drug user when he or she is not)
e. There cannot be a Type Il error in this kind of drug testing.

Answer:

(c) A false negative (concluding the job candidate is not a drug user when he or she indeed is)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine if it is possible for type II error to occur or not.

In analysis, type 2 error occurs when the stated null hypothesis is false.

The given null hypothesis here is  "a job candidate is not a drug user" which indicates false. This means that option (e) cannot be the solution.

Having established that there is a possibility for an occurrence of type II error.

Next, is to determine the error.

Type II error implies false negative; hence, options (a), (b) and (d) cannot be the solution.

(c) is correct.

Find the vertex of the graph of f(x) = x2 + 4x - 5.
Fofino [41]
You can solve this in two ways.

1. Graphical. Plot the graph for x between -5 and 1 (see attachement).
The vertex of the graph is the peak of the curve, which has the coordinates x=-2, y=-9.

2. Analytical. Calculate the derivative of the function f(x)
\frac{df}{dx}=2x+4
Solve the equation:
2x+4=0
will give the solution x=-2.
Replace x=-2 in the f(x) function and you'll get the value of y:
(-2)^2+4 \cdot (-2)-5=4-8-5=-9

You get the same answer: x=-2, y=-9

So the answer is

Mr. Ramirez built a wooden storage shed for his tools. The dimensions of the shed are shown below. What is the volume of the sto
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Volume = 24\ ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [Missing from the question]

Length = 170cm\\ Width = 100cm\\ Height = 40cm

Required

Determine the volume

This is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Volume = 170cm * 100cm * 40cm

Volume = 680000cm^3

Convert to cubic foot [Divide by 28317 ]

Volume = \frac{680000\ ft/^3}{28317}

Volume = 24.0138432744\ ft^3

Volume = 24\ ft^3 --- approximated
