Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15​, find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely​ necessary?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture) = 0.2775[/tex]

The probability is not low

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(Single\ Positive) = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]n = 2[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture)[/tex]

First, we calculate the probability of single negative using the complement rule

[tex]P(Single\ Negative) = 1 - P(Single\ Positive)[/tex]

[tex]P(Single\ Negative) = 1 - 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(Single\ Negative) = 0.85[/tex]

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture)[/tex] is calculated using:

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture) = 1 - P(All\ Negative)[/tex] ---- i.e. complement rule

So, we have:

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture) = 1 - 0.85^2[/tex]

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture) = 1 - 0.7225[/tex]

[tex]P(Positive\ Mixture) = 0.2775[/tex]

Probabilities less than 0.05 are considered low.

So, we can consider that the probability is not low because 0.2775 > 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

In Statistics, sampling can be defined as a process used to collect or select data (objects, observations, or individuals) from a larger statistical population using specific procedures.

There are various types of sampling used by researchers and these are;

1. Systematic sampling.

2. Convenience sampling.

3. Stratified sampling.

4. Cluster sampling.

5. Random sampling.

Random sampling also referred to as simple random sample (SRS) involves randomly selecting a subset of a larger population.

Part 1

If we simplify, both Joe and Hope factored the polynomial correctly but Joe didn't complete it fully.

The first binomial can be further factored:

8x + 12 = 4(2x + 3)Part 2

The quadratic expression needs to have two roots in order to be factored as two binomials.

The discriminant must be positive or zero:

D = b² - 4ac ≥ 0

We have a = 3, b = k, c = -8

So we get following inequality:

Since k² is positive for any value of k, the solution is any value of k:

The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.4 in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.4 in/s. At what rate is the volume of the cone changing when the radius is 140 in. and the height is 186 in.

Answers

Answer:

The volume is increasing at a rate of 27093 cubic inches per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone:

THe volume of a cone, with radius r and height h, is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex]

In this question:

We have to differentiate implictly is function of t, so the three variables, V, r and h, are differenciated. So

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi r^2}{3}\frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{2\pi rh}{3}\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.4 in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.4 in/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = 1.4, \frac{dh}{dt} = -2.4[/tex]

Radius is 140 in. and the height is 186 in.

This means that [tex]r = 140, h = 186[/tex]

At what rate is the volume of the cone changing?

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi r^2}{3}\frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{2\pi rh}{3}\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi (140)^2}{3}(-2.4) + \frac{2\pi 140*186}{3}1.4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = -0.8\pi(140)^2 + 62*2\pi*1.4*140[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 27093[/tex]

Positive, so increasing.

The volume is increasing at a rate of 27093 cubic inches per second.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^{3}cos(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

[tex]x^{3}sin(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A

Let's start with the first function:

[tex]x^{3}cos(x^{2})=x^{3}-\frac{x^{7}}{2!}+\frac{x^{11}}{4!}-\frac{x^{15}}{6!}+...[/tex]

In order to find the expression for the general term, we will need to analyze each part of the sum. First, notice that the sign of the terms of the sum will change with every new term, this tells us that the expression must contain a

[tex](-1)^{n}[/tex].

This will guarantee us that the terms will always change their signs so that will be the first part of our expression.

next, the power of the x. Notice the given sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15...

we can see this is an arithmetic sequence since the distance between each term is the same. There is a distance of 4 between each consecutive power, so this sequence can be found by adding a 4n to the original number, the 3. So the power is given by 4n+3.

so let's put the two things together:

[tex](-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}[/tex]

Finally the denominator, there is also a sequence there: 0!, 2!, 4!, 6!

This is also an arithmetic sequence, where we are multiplying each consecutive value of n by a 2, so in this case the sequence can be written as: (2n)!

So let's put it all together so we get:

[tex]\frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

So now we can build the whole series:

[tex]x^{3}cos(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

B

Now, let's continue with the next function:

[tex]x^{3}sin(x^{2})=x^{5}-\frac{x^{9}}{3!}+\frac{x^{13}}{5!}-\frac{x^{17}}{7!}+...[/tex]

In order to find the expression for the general term, we will need to analyze each part of the sum. First, notice that the sign of the terms of the sum will change with every new term, this tells us that the expression must contain a

[tex](-1)^{n}[/tex].

This will guarantee us that the terms will always change their signs so that will be the first part of our expression.

next, the power of the x. Notice the given sequence: 5, 9, 13, 17...

we can see this is an arithmetic sequence since the distance between each term is the same. There is a distance of 4 between each consecutive power, so this sequence can be found by adding a 4n to the original number, the 5. So the power is given by 4n+5.

so let's put the two things together:

[tex](-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}[/tex]

Finally the denominator, there is also a sequence there: 1!, 3!, 5!, 7!

This is also an arithmetic sequence, where we are multiplying each consecutive value of n by a 2 starting from a 1, so in this case the sequence can be written as: (2n+1)!

So let's put it all together so we get:

[tex]\frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

So now we can build the whole series:

[tex]x^{3}sin(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

every student from different schools planted as many plants of their number if they planted 4225 plants how many students were there

Answers

Answer:

65 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Every student planted as many plant as their number ;

Then let the number of student = x

Then the number of plant planted by each student will also = x

The total number of plants planted by all the students = 4225

The Number of students can be obtained thus ;

Total number of plants = Number of plants * number of plants per student

4225 = x * x

4225 = x²

√4225 = x

65 = x

Hence, there are 65 students

Answers

Answer:

(a) Residents

(b) [tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

(c)  [tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

(d) Right skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data of residents without health insurance

Solving (a): The variable

The variable is the residents

Solving (b): The median

First, we sort the data

[tex]Sorted: 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.13, 0.13, 0.14, 0.16, 0.19, 0.25[/tex]

So, the median position is:

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = 5th[/tex]

The 5th element of the dataset is: 0.13

So:

[tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

Solving (c): The mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{0.09+ 0.10+ 0.11+ 0.13+ 0.13+ 0.14+ 0.16+ 0.19+ 0.25}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1.3}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

Solving (d): The shape of the distribution

In (b) and (c), we have:

[tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

By comparison, the mean is greater than the median.

Hence, the shape is: right skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

If those angles are congruent, then all side lengths follow the same ratio.

So the smaller triangle side length of 9 over the small side length of the bigger triangle 21.5, is the ratio for all the sides.

9/21.5 = unknown side / 48

unknown side = 48 * 9/21.5

So to find the length of CD, multiply 48 by our ratio to get ~ 20.1

An observation is considered an outlier if it is above:

Answers

Answer:

Outlier therefore could only be values below  - 12.75

or could only be values above + 121.125

Step-by-step explanation:

0, 4, 6, 14, 17

inner quartile range of 0 - 17 is 1/2 of 17 subtracted from the higher number = 17 - 1/2 of 8.5 =  8.5 - 4.25 = 4.25 - 4.25 x 3

= 4.25 to 12.75 for inner quartile

inner quartile range is 12.75-4.25 = 8.5

We then 1.5 x 8.5 to show the outlier

= 12.75 meaning there is no outlier if is below.

Lower quartile fences  = 4.25 - 1.5 = 2.75

or -1.5 x 8.5 (the range) =   -12.75

Upper quartile fence = 12.75 + 1.5 = 14.25 x 8.5 =   121.125  this would be an outlier if it is 12.75 higher than 121.125 or 12.75 lower than 5.50.

Outlier therefore could only be values below  - 12.75

or could only be values above + 121.125

An observation is considered an outlier if it exceeds a distance of 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) below the lower quartile or above the upper quartile. The values of the lower quartile - 1.5 x IQR and upper quartile + 1.5 x IQR are known as the inner fences.

An observation is an outlier if it falls more than above the upper quartile or more than below the lower quartile. The minimum value is so there are no outliers in the low end of the distribution. The maximum value is so there are no outliers in the high end of the distribution.

Answer:

The length is of 59 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:

Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:

This means that [tex]w = 49, P = 216[/tex]

The length is cm.

We have to solve the equation for l. So

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 2(49 + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 98 + 2l[/tex]

Hey there!

We are given two functions - one is Exponential while the another one is Linear.

[tex] \large{ \begin{cases} f(x) = {4}^{x} - 8 \\ g(x) = 5x + 6 \end{cases}}[/tex]

1. Operation of Function

(f+g)(x) is a factored form of f(x)+g(x). We can common factor out x. Therefore:

[tex] \large{(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)}[/tex]

2. Substitution

Next, we substitute f(x) = 4^x+8 and g(x) = 5x+6.

[tex] \large{(f + g)(x) = ( {4}^{x} - 8) + (5x + 6)}[/tex]

3. Evaluate/Simplify

Cancel out the brackets and combine like terms.

[tex] \large{(f + g)(x) = {4}^{x} - 8 + 5x + 6} \\ \large{(f + g)(x) = {4}^{x} + 5x - 8 + 6} \\ \large{(f + g)(x) = {4}^{x} + 5x - 2}[/tex]
