Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find percent increase is 100 * \frac{final-initial}{|initial|}. We're given the initial value as 120 and the final value as 150.

  • 100*\frac{150-120}{|120|}
  • 100*\frac{30}{120}
  • 100*\frac{1}{4}
  • 100/4
  • 25

Therefore, the percent increase is 25%.

In a blueprint for a house, the scale is 1 inch = 5 feet. In the blueprint, one room
Dimas [21]

for each inch is 5 feet, so for each 0.5 aka 1/2 inch, it would be 2.5 inches

2in: 5+5=10ft

2.5in: 5+5+2.5=12.5ft

or just simply mutiply by 2

2(5)= 10ft

2.5 inches so 2.5(5)=12.5

The dimensions of the actual room are 10 feet by 12.5 feet

A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.1%. If the false negative rate is 8%
defon

Answer: 0.31 or 31%

Let A be the event that the disease is present in a particular person

Let B be the event that a person tests positive for the disease

The problem asks to find P(A|B), where

P(A|B) = P(B|A)*P(A) / P(B) = (P(B|A)*P(A)) / (P(B|A)*P(A) + P(B|~A)*P(~A))

In other words, the problem asks for the probability that a positive test result will be a true positive.  

P(B|A) = 1-0.02 = 0.98 (person tests positive given that they have the disease)

P(A) = 0.009 (probability the disease is present in any particular person)

P(B|~A) = 0.02 (probability a person tests positive given they do not have the disease)

P(~A) = 1-0.009 = 0.991 (probability a particular person does not have the disease)

P(A|B) = (0.98*0.009) / (0.98*0.009 + 0.02*0.991)

= 0.00882 / 0.02864 = 0.30796

*round however you need to but i am leaving it at 0.31 or 31%*
