The test to detect the presence of a certain protein is 98% accurate for corn plants that have the protein and 97% accurate for

corn plants that
do not have the protein.

Using the given percentages, it is found that the probability that a randomly chosen plant is detected incorrectly is 0.02965 = 2.965%.

<h3>Percentages:</h3>

The percentages associated with an incorrect detection are:

  • 2% of 3.5%(have the protein).
  • 3% of 96.5%(do not have the protein).

Hence:

p = 0.02(0.035) + 0.03(0.965) = 0.02965

The probability that a randomly chosen plant is detected incorrectly is 0.02965 = 2.965%.

Given the following diagram, find the missing measure.<br>*​
BigorU [14]

Option C:

x = 30

Solution:

The given image is a triangle.

angle 1, angle 2 and angle 3 are interior angles of a triangle.

angle 4 is the exterior angle of a triangle.

m∠4 = 2x°, m\angle2=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ, m∠3 = 20°

Exterior angle theorem:

<em>In triangle, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

By this theorem,

m∠4 = m∠2 + m∠3

$2x^\circ=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ+20^\circ

Subtract \frac{4}{3}x^\circ on both sides of the equation.

$2x^\circ-\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

To make the denominator same and then subtract.

$\frac{6}{3}x^\circ -\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

$\frac{2}{3}x^\circ =20^\circ

Multiply by \frac{3}{2} on both sides of the equation.

x° = 30°

x = 30

Hence option C is the correct answer.
