Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Researchers examined the idea of testing all Med
Sidana [21]

Answer:

a. P(C) = 0.03

   P(test+ | C) = 0.89

   P(test- | no C) = 0.93

b. Tree diagram is attached.

c. P(test+) = 0.0946

d. P(C | test+) = 0.2822  

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let C denote Lung Cancer The probability that a heavy smoker will develop lung cancer is 3% i.e. 0.03.

If lung cancer is present, the CT scan result comes out to be positive 89% of the times while if lung cancer is not present, the results are negative 93% of the time. Let test+ denote that the test result is positive and test- denote that the test result is negative.

P(C) = 0.03

P(test+ | C) = 0.89

P(test- | no C) = 0.93

b. The first pair of branches represent whether the individual has cancer or not.

P(C) = 0.03

P(no C) = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

The second pair of branches will represent if the test result came out positive or negative.

For patients with cancer, P(test+) = 0.89, P(test-) = 1 - 0.89 = 0.11

For patients with no cancer, P(test -) = 0.93, P(test+)= 1 - 0.93 = 0.07.

The tree diagram is attached as an image file.

c. P(test+) = P(C)*P(test+| C) + P(No C)*P(test+| No C)

                                = (0.03)(0.89) + (0.97)(0.07)

                                = 0.0267 + 0.0679

    P(test+) = 0.0946

d. P(C | test+) = P(C ∩ test+) / P(test+)

                       = P(C)*P(test+ | C) / P(test+)

                       = (0.03)*(0.89) / 0.0946

    P(C | test+) = 0.2822

A soft-drink machine at a steakhouse is regulated so that the amount of drink dispensed is normally distributed with a mean of 2
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

z=\frac{203-200}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{9}}}=0.6    

p_v =P(z>0.6)=0.274  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 200 at 5% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=203 represent the mean height for the sample  

\sigma=15 represent the population standard deviation

n=9 sample size  

\mu_o =200 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 200, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 200  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 20  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 but we  know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{203-200}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{9}}}=0.6    

P-value

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>0.6)=0.274  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 200 at 5% of signficance.

You go to Home Depot to buy some materials for a project. Your total bill for materials only was $45.90. You go to the check out
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$34.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the cost with tax

You are paying 7.2% tax, but you are also paying for 100% of the bill

100%+7.2%=107.2%

So, you are really paying for 107.2% of the bill

Convert 107.2% to a decimal by dividing by 100 or moving the decimal 2 spaces to the right

107.2/100=1.072

Multiply the decimal by the cost of the bill

1.072*45.90=49.2048

But, we also have a coupon for $15 off

Subtract 15 from the cost with tax

49.2048-15=34.2048

Round to the nearest cent/hundreth

$34.20

Hope this helps! :)
