One in a thousand people have a particular disease, and the test for the disease is 98% correct in testing for the disease. On t

The odds a person has the disease they were tested for is 98% or 98:2.

<h3>What is the difference between probability and odds?</h3>

Probability describes how likely is an event to happen by using a percentage from 0 to 100%. On the other hand, the odds focus on the rate between the specific outcome: other outcomes.

<h3>What are the odds in this situation:</h3>

In this case, the specific outcome is to have the disease after being tested, which occurs 98% of the time. This implies only the 2% tested do not have the disease. Now, this relationship can be expressed as:

98: 2

What is f(x)=2(3)^x?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

This is an exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2(3)^x is one example of the exponential function.  Since f(0) = 2(1) = 2, the y-intercept is (0, 2).  The x-axis is the horizontal asymptote.  The graph begins in Quadrant II, passes through (0, 2) and continues to increase, faster and faster, in Quadrant I.  Next time, please be more specific about what you'd like to know.

What are the intercepts of y=4x-2?
pshichka [43]
First, solve for the x - intercept. To do so, equate y to 0 and solve for x. 

                                               0 = 4x - 2, x = 1/2

Second, solve for the y - intercept. Equate x to 0 which will give us,

                                              y = (4)(0) -2, y = -2

Therefore,  the x-intercept is 1/2 and y-intercept is -2.
