Answer:
[tex]z = \frac{x}{y} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the price of carton of ice cream
Let y be the number of grams in carton
Let z be price per gram.
[tex]z = \frac{x}{y} [/tex]
Which means price of carton of ice cream divided by the number of grams in carton equals price per gram.
Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the Isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass. Starting with 210 grams of a
radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 6 half-lives?
Round your answer to the nearest gram
Answer:
after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125
Step-by-step explanation:
isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass at first:
210(1/2)=105 half it is original weight
after second life: 210(1/2)^2=105(1/2)=52.5
after third : 210(1/2)^3=52.5/2=26.25
after fourth : 26.25/2=12.125
after fifth : 13.125/2
after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125
Use Bayes' theorem to find the indicated probability 5.8% of a population is infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely accurate. 93.9% of those who have the disease test positive. However 4.1% of those who do not have the disease also test positive (false positives). A person is randomly selected and tested for the disease. What is the probability that the person has the disease given that the test result is positive?
a. 0.905
b. 0.585
c. 0.038
d. 0.475
Answer:
b. 0.585
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Bayes' theorem:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)*P(A)}{P(B)}[/tex]
Let A = Person is infected, and B = Person tested positive. Then:
P(B|A) = 93.9%
P(A) = 5.8%
P(B) = P(infected and positive) + P(not infected and positive)
[tex]P(B) = 0.058*0.939+(1-0.058)*0.041\\P(B)=0.09308[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a person has the disease given that the test result is positive, P(A|B), is:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{0.939*0.058}{0.09308}\\P(A|B)=0.585[/tex]
The probability is 0.585.
