A certain virus infects one in every 400 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 80% of the time if the person has the virus and 10% of the time if the person does not have the virus. (This 10% result is called a false positive.) Let A be the event "the person is infected" and B be the event "the person tests positive".
(a) Using Bayes’ Theorem, when a person tests positive, determine the probability that the person is infected.
(b) Using Bayes’ Theorem, when a person tests negative, determine the probability that the person is not infected.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) P(A|B) = 0.01966

B) P(A'|B') = 0.99944

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that A is the event "the person is infected" and B is the event "the person tests positive".

Thus, using bayes theorem, the probability that the person is infected is; P(A|B)

From bayes theorem,

P(A|B) = [P(A) × P(B|A)]/[(P(A) x P(B|A)) + (P(A') x P(B|A'))]

Now, from the question,

P(A) = 1/400

P(A') = 399/400

P(B|A) = 0.8

P(B|A') = 0.1

Thus;

P(A|B) = [(1/400) × 0.8)]/[((1/400) x 0.8) + ((399/400) x (0.1))]

P(A|B) = 0.01966

B) we want to find the probability that when a person tests negative, the person is not infected. This is;

P(A'|B') = P(Not infected|negative) = P(not infected and negative) / P(negative) = [(399/400) × 0.9)]/[((399/400) x 0.9) + ((1/400) x (0.2))] = 0.99944

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given

an + 2 = an + an + 1

where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

a3 = a1 + a2

= 2

a4 = a2 + a3

= 3

a5 = a3 + a4

= 5

a6 = a5 + a4

= 8

a7 = a6 + a5

= 13

a8 = a7 + a6

= 21

a9 = a8 + a7

= 34

a10 = a9 + a8

= 55

a11 = a10 + a9

= 89

a12 = a11 + a10

b3 = a4/a3

= 3/2 = 1.500

b4 = a5/a4

= 5/3 = 1.667

b5 = a6/a5

= 8/5 = 1.600

b6 = a7/a6

= 13/8 = 1.625

b7 = a8/a7

= 21/13 = 1.615

b8 = a9/a8

= 34/21 = 1.619

b9 = a10/a9

A car is being driven, in a straight line and at a uniform speed, towards the base of a vertical tower. The top of the tower is observed from the car and, in the process, it takes 10 min for the angle of elevation to change from 45° to 60°. After how much more time will this car reach the base of the tower? Options: a. 5( √3+ 1 ) b. 6 (√3 +√2) c. 7 (√3- 1) d. 8 (√3-2)

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

a. 5( √3+ 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the angle changes from 45° to 60° in 10 minutes.

This situation can be represented as right angled triangles [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABC (in the starting when angle is 45°)and [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABD (after 10 minutes when the angle is 60°).

AB is the tower (A be its top and B be its base).

Now, we need to find the time to be taken to cover the distance D to B.

First of all, let us consider [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABC.

Using tangent property:

[tex]tan\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\Rightarrow tan 45=\dfrac{AB}{BC}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{h}{BC}\\\Rightarrow h = BC[/tex]

Using tangent property in [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABD:

[tex]\Rightarrow tan 60=\dfrac{AB}{BD}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt3=\dfrac{h}{BD}\\\Rightarrow BD = \dfrac{h}{ \sqrt3}\ units[/tex]

Now distance traveled in 10 minutes, CD  = BC - BD

[tex]\Rightarrow h - \dfrac{h}{\sqrt3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\sqrt3-1)h}{\sqrt3}[/tex]

[tex]Speed =\dfrac{Distance }{Time}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\sqrt3-1)h}{10\sqrt3}[/tex]

Now, we can say that more distance to be traveled to reach the base of tower is BD i.e. '[tex]\bold{\dfrac{h}{\sqrt3}}[/tex]'

So, more time required = Distance left divided by Speed

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{h}{\sqrt3}}{\dfrac{(\sqrt3-1)h}{10\sqrt3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h\times 10\sqrt3}{\sqrt3(\sqrt3-1)h}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10 (\sqrt3+1)}{(\sqrt3-1)(\sqrt3+1)} (\text{Rationalizing the denominator})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10 (\sqrt3+1)}{3-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10 (\sqrt3+1)}{2}\\\Rightarrow 5(\sqrt3+1)}[/tex]

So, The correct answer is option a.

The average weight of a person is 160.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 10.4 pounds. 1. What is the probability a person weighs more than 150.2 pounds

Answers

Answer:

0.8390

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Z score = (Value-mean)/standard deviation

Z score = (150.2-160.5)/10.4

Z score = -0.9904.

P(x>Z) = 1- P(x<Z)

From the Z table,

P(x<Z) = 0.16099

Therefore,

P(x>Z) = 1-0.16099

P(x>Z) = 0.8390

Hence the probability that a person weighs more than 150.2 pounds = 0.8390

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a 2-D figure with three sides and three angles.

The sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

We can have an obtuse triangle, an acute triangle, or a right triangle.

We have,

Since the triangles are congruent, we know that their corresponding angles are congruent as well.

Therefore, we have:

m∠B = m∠F = 40°.

Note that we also have:

m∠C = m∠A = 80° (by corresponding angles)

m∠H = m∠G = 60° (by corresponding angles)

Finally, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180° to find the measure of angle D:

m∠D = 180° - m∠B - m∠C = 180° - 40° - 80° = 60°.

Therefore,

m∠B = 40°.

what is the 20th term of the arithmetic sequence a(n)=-5+(n-1)3

Answers

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

a(n)=-5+(n-1)3

a(20)=-5+(20-1)3

a(20)=52

The 20th term of the arithmetic sequence is 52.

What is Arithmetic sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.

For example,

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. For example, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9 ... is arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is always two.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a + (n – 1)d.

Given:

a(n)=-5+(n-1)3

First term,

a(1)= -5 + 0

a(1)= -5

second, a(2)= -5 + 1*3

a(2)= -2

Third, a(3)= -5+6

a(3)= 1

d= 3

So, the 20th term

a(20)= -5+ (20-1)3

a(20)= -5 + 57

a(20)= 52

Hence, the 20th term is 52.

Imagine working in a freelance developer earning 80 USD per hour how many weeks you will have to take a 12 hour flight on a weekday you can either book a flight for ticket for 11 AM for 900 USD or 11 PM flight or 11 USD there is no Internet boards if you take the day off like you will lose a day of work what would you do

Answers

Answer:

pay the 11 AM ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the flight last for 12 hours, and assuming the freelance developer can still work (have access to the internet) on the airplane throughout the flight, he stand to earn $960 ($80*12), which will still cover the cost of the flight with a profit of $60 ($960-900).

However, if he decides to pay the $11 flight ticket and there is no Internet on boards; there by losing a day of work, he stand to have lost working time which would earn with $900.

Therefore, the best choice is to pay the 11 AM ticket.

Use Newton's method to approximate the indicated root of the equation correct to six decimal places. The negative root of ex = 4 − x2

Answers

Answer:

x = -1.964636

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

eˣ = 4 - x²

This can be re-written as;

eˣ - 4 + x² = 0

Let

f(x) = eˣ - 4 + x²    -----------(i)

To use Newton's method, we need to get the first derivative of the above equation as follows;

f¹(x) = eˣ - 0 + 2x

f¹(x) = eˣ + 2x         -----------(ii)

The graph of f(x) has been attached to this response.

As shown in the graph, the curve intersects the x-axis twice - around x = -2 and x = 1. These are the approximate roots of the equation.

Since the question requires that we use the negative root, then we start using the Newton's law with a guess of x₀ = -2 at n=0

From Newton's method,

[tex]x_{n+1} = x_n + \frac{f(x_{n})}{f^1(x_{n})}[/tex]

=> When n=0, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{1} = x_0 - \frac{f(x_{0})}{f^1(x_{0})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{f(-2)}{f^1(-2)}[/tex]

Where f(-2) and f¹(-2) are found by plugging x = -2 into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

f(-2) = e⁻² - 4 + (-2)²

f(-2) = e⁻² = 0.13533528323

And;

f¹(2) = e⁻² + 2(-2)

f¹(2) = e⁻² - 4 = -3.8646647167

Therefore

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.8646647167}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.8646647167}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - -0.03501863503[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 + 0.03501863503[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -1.9649813649[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -1.96498136[/tex]         [to 8 decimal places]

=> When n=1, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{2} = x_1 - \frac{f(x_{1})}{f^1(x_{1})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = -1.96498136 - \frac{f(-1.9649813)}{f^1(-1.9649813)}[/tex]

Following the same procedure as above we have

[tex]x_{2} = -1.96463563[/tex]

=> When n=2, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{3} = x_2 - \frac{f(x_{2})}{f^1(x_{2})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{3} = -1.96463563- \frac{f( -1.96463563)}{f^1( -1.96463563)}[/tex]

Following the same procedure as above we have

[tex]x_{3} = -1.96463560[/tex]

From the values of [tex]x_2[/tex] and [tex]x_3[/tex], it can be seen that there is no change in the first 6 decimal places, therefore, it is safe to say that the value of the negative root of the equation is approximately  -1.964636 to 6 decimal places.

Newton's method of approximation is one of the several ways of estimating values.

The approximated value of [tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] to 6 decimal places is [tex]\mathbf{ -1.964636}[/tex]

The equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]\mathbf{4 - x^2 = 0}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x^2 = 4}[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ x= \pm 2}[/tex]

So, the negative root is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = -2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] becomes [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = e^x - 4 + x^2 }[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{f'(x) = e^x +2x }[/tex]

Using Newton's method of approximation, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}}[/tex]

When x = -2, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f'(-2) = e^{(-2)} +2(-2) = -3.86466471676}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(-2) = e^{-2} - 4 + (-2)^2 = 0.13533528323}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.86466471676}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -2 + \frac{0.13533528323}{3.86466471676}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -1.96498136}[/tex]

Repeat the above process for repeated x values.

We have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{2} = -1.96463563}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{3} = -1.96463560}[/tex]

Up till the 6th decimal places,

[tex]\mathbf{x_2 = x_3}[/tex]

Hence, the approximated value of [tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] to 6 decimal places is [tex]\mathbf{ -1.964636}[/tex]

Y = -(1/2)x+1

You could also use the shortcuts:

For Ay+Bx=C, the slope is -B/A and the y-intercept is C/A.

Slope = -B/A = -(-1)/(-2) = 1/-2 = -(1/2)

A 6 foot person casts a 26 foot shadow. What is the angle of elevation of the sun? (nearest whole degree)

Answers

Answer:

13°

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric ratio formula can be used in calculating the angle of elevation (x°) of the sun, as the person makes a right angle with the ground.

The height of the person would be the opposite length = 6 ft, the shadow of the person would be the adjacent length = 26 ft

Therefore, according to the trigonometric ratio formula, we would calculate angle of elevation (x°) as follows:

[tex] tan x = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} [/tex]

[tex] tan x = \frac{6}{26} [/tex]

[tex] tan x = 0.2308 [/tex]

x = tan-¹(0.2308)

Answer:

a =7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+ b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + 10 ^2 = 12.5^2

a^2 + 100  =156.25

Subtract 100 from each side

a^2 = 56.25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt( 56.25)

a =7.5

A recipe for 1 batch of muffins used 2/3 of blueberries. Amir made 2 1/2 batches of muffins. How many cups of blueberries did he use? A. 1 4/6 B. 1 5/6 C. 2 2/6 D. 3 1/6. Please show your work.

Answers

Answer:

A. 1 4/6 cups of blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

1 -- 2/3                      

Proportion, Batches to Blueberries

1*(2 1/2) -- (2/3)( 2 1/2)              

Because we are now multiplying the 1 batch to 2 1/2 batches. So to keep the proportion balanced/equal we are using the same operation on the right side of the proportion

2 1/2 -- (2/3)( 5/2 )      

2 1/2 -- 5/3

2 1/2 -- 1 2/3

Simplify

On the right side shows the blueberries for 2 1/2 batches. 1 2/3 = 1 4/6

Select a committee of 3 people from your staff of 9. How many different ways can this be accomplished when one person will be the lead, one will be the record keeper, and one will be the researcher

Answers

Answer:

504 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, order matters. If Amy were lead, Bob were record keeper, and Charles were researcher, that would be different than if Bob were lead, Charles were record keeper, and Amy were researcher. So, we will be using a permutation formula to compute.

The formula is n! / (n - k)!, where n is the total number of people (9), and k is the number you are selecting (3).

9! / (9 - 3)! = 9! / 6! = (9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / (6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 9 * 8 * 7 = 72 * 7 = 504 ways.

The total cost of a sweater and a jacket was $71.55 If the price of the sweater was $3.19 less than the jacket, what was the price of the sweater? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to two places.

Answers

Answer: $34.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the Jacket = $x and

The cost of the sweater. = $y

Now total price. = $71.55.

So, $x + $y. = $71.55 -- 1

From the second statements, the price of the sweater was $3.19 less than the price of the jacket. Transforming that into equation

y = ( x - $3.19 )

Now substitute for y in the equation (1) above.

x + ( x - 3.19 ) = 71.55

Now solve the equation

x + x - 3.19 = 71.55

2x - 3.19. = 71.55

2x = 71.55 + 3.19

2x. = 74.74

x = 74.74/2

= $37.37. cost of the jacket

Now to determine the cost of the sweater,

$71.55 - $37.37 = $34.18

The cost of the sweater = $34.18.

Answers

Answer:

y = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 39).

Let the operation which defines the relation between a and b is O.

Relation between a and b has been given as,

a O b = [tex]\frac{(a+b)}{(a-b)}[/tex]

Following the same operation, relation between 3 and y will be,

3 O y = [tex]\frac{3+y}{3-y}[/tex]

Since 3 O y = 4,

[tex]\frac{3+y}{3-y}=4[/tex]

3 + y = 12 - 4y

3 + y + 4y = 12 - 4y + 4y

3 + 5y = 12

3 + 5y - 3 = 12 - 3

5y = 9

[tex]\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{9}{5}[/tex]

y = 1.8

Therefore, y = 1.8 will be the answer.
