The answer is -2

Steps:

Multiplying two negatives equals a positive. So, we change the minus sign after the first mixed number, and the negative sign in front of 1/4 and change it to a plus sign. Or, just saying that two negatives equal a positive, and we just convert them two to a plus sign. The equation changes to: -2 1/6 + 2/3 x 1/4

Then, reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 2, which is the numerator 2 and denominator 4. Reduce those two parts and you get -2 1/6 + 1/3 x 1/2

Next, I multiplied 1/3 and 1/2, which got me 1/6. Then add the two fractions -2 1/6 and 1/6 which equals 2.

I believed I explained it thoroughly, and hope this is helpful.

A new medical test provides a false positive result for hepatitis 2% of the time that is a perfectly healthy subject being teste

Oxana [17]

Given that X be the number of subjects who test positive for the disease out of the 30 healthy subjects used for the test.

The probability of success, i.e. the probability that a healthy subject tests positive is given as 2% = 0.02

Part A:

The probability that all 30 subjects will appropriately test as not being infected, that is the probability that none of the healthy subjects will test positive is given by:

 $P(X)={ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}} \\ \\ P(0)={ ^{30}C_0(0.02)^0(1-0.02)^{30-0}} \\ \\ =1(1)(0.98)^{30}=0.5455$


Part B:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by

 $\mu=np \\ \\ =30(0.02) \\ \\ =0.6$

The standard deviation is given by:

 $\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(1-0.02)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(0.98)}=\sqrt{0.588} \\ \\ =0.7668$


Part C:

This test will not be a trusted test in the field of medicine as it has a standard deviation higher than the mean. The testing method will not be consistent in determining the infection of hepatitis.
