testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from two people are combined and the mixture tests​ negative, then both samples are negative. On the other​ hand, one positive sample will always test​ positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. 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?w./search?q=%E2%80%8B"At+least%E2%80%8B+one"+is+equivalent+to%E2%80%8B+_______.&oq=%E2%80%8B"At+least%E2%80%8B+one"+is+equivalent+to%E2%80%8B+_______.&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l3.409j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 The probability of a positive test result is nothing

Answer:

1. 0.1684 = 16.84%.

2. 0.2568 = 25.68%

3. 0.0013 = 0.13%

4. 0.0126 = 1.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have blood that is Group O, or they do not. The probability of a person having blood that is Group O is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

45% of them have blood that is Group O

This means that [tex]p = 0.45[/tex]

Question 1:

This is P(X = 6) when n = 16. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{16,6}.(0.45)^{6}.(0.55)^{10} = 0.1684[/tex]

So 0.1684 = 16.84%.

Question 2:

This is P(X = 3) when n = 8. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{8,3}.(0.45)^{3}.(0.55)^{5} = 0.2568[/tex]

So 0.2568 = 25.68%.

Question 3:

This is P(X = 16) when n = 20. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.45)^{16}.(0.55)^{4} = 0.0013[/tex]

So 0.0013 = 0.13%.

Question 4:

This is P(X = 9) when n = 11. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{11,9}.(0.45)^{9}.(0.55)^{2} = 0.0126[/tex]

So 0.0126 = 1.26%.

Answer:

CI  95 %  =  (  28.92  ;  41.08 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample Information:

sample size    n  =  30

sample mean  =  35 %

sample standard deviation   s = 17

To construct a CI  95 %

significance level is    α  = 5 %   α = 0.05      α/2  =  0.025

z critical for α/2 from z- table is :   z (c) = 1.96

CI  95 %  =  (  x  ±  z(c) * s/√n )

CI  95 %  =  (  35 ± 1.96 * 17/√30 )

CI  95 %  =  (  35 ±  6.08 )

CI  95 %  =  (  28.92  ;  41.08 )

Answer:

y=(2/3)x+10

Hope it helps!

My graph isn't really clear

The slope-intercept of the line that passes through the point (-9, 4) and has a slope of 2/3 will be y = (2/3)x + 10.

A straight line on the coordinate plane is represented by a linear function.

A linear function always has the same and constant slope.

The formula for a linear function is f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real values.

A line is given as y = mx + c

Here m is the slope,

Put m = 2/3 and  (-9, 4)

4 = (2/3)(-9) + c

c = 10

Thus equation will be y = (2/3)x + 10.

Hence "Y = (2/3)x + 10 is the slope-intercept of the line passing through the point (-9, 4), which has a slope of 2/3".

Answer:

26.59 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the time needed to do the driveway combined is x. Sue does y parts of the driveway, and Tom does z parts of the driveway. Combined, y + z = 100% = 1, as they finish the whole driveway.

Next, Tom will take 45 * z minutes to do his part of the driveway. For example, if he did 50% = 0.5 of the driveway, he would take 45 * 0.5 = 22.5 minutes to do it. Similarly, Sue will take 65 *y minutes to do her part of the driveway. Since they will finish at the same time, we can say

45 * z = 65 * y

y + z = 1

Therefore, if we subtract y from both sides of the second equation, we have

z = 1-y

We can then plug 1-y in for z in the first equation to get

45 * (1-y) = 65 * y

45 - 45*y = 65*y

add both sides by 45 * y to separate the y values and their coefficients

45 = 110 * y

divide both sides by 110 to find y

y = 45/110 = 0.409

Use 1-y=z to get z = 1-0.409 = 0.59

Therefore, 45*z = 26.59 = 65*y

the distance between the two points on the x axis is 5 and the distance between the two point son the y axis is 5. thus by using pythagerous theorem you are able to get the hypotenuse which is the distance between the two points which in this case is 7.07 when rounded to 3 significant figures. not sure if im correct but i hope it helps

Answer:

You would expect 807 babies  to weigh between 3 and 6 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,[tex]\mu=5.4[/tex]pounds

Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=1.8[/tex]pounds

n=1500

We have to find how  many would you expect to weigh between 3 and 6 pounds.

The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed.

Now,

[tex]P(3<x<6)=P(\frac{3-5.4}{1.8}<\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{6-5.4}{1.8})[/tex]

[tex]=P(-1.33<Z<0.33)[/tex]

[tex]P(3<x<6)=P(Z<0.33)-P(Z<-1.33)[/tex]

[tex]P(3<x<6)=0.62930-0.09176[/tex]

[tex]P(3<x<6)=0.538[/tex]

Number of newborn  babies expect to weigh between 3 and 6 pounds

=[tex]1500\times 0.538=807[/tex]

Answer:

f(6) = 3

f'(6) = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that for a function f(x), we define f'(x) as the slope of the tangent line to the point (x, f(x))

We know that:

y = f(x) passes through the point (6, 3)

Then we already know that:

f(6) = 3.

Now we also know that the tangent at this point, also passes through (0, 2)

Remember that a line can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where in this case, a = f'(6)

so we just want to find the slope of this line.

Remember that for a line that passes through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is given by:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

And we know that the tangent line passes through the points (0, 2) and (6, 3)

Then the slope is:

a = (3 - 2)/(6 - 0)  = 1/6

Then we have:

a =  f'(6)  =1/6

Answer:

The probability that the proportion of persons with a retirement account will be less than 57%=31.561%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=570

p=58%=0.58

We have to find the probability that the proportion of persons with a retirement account will be less than 57%.

q=1-p=1-0.58=0.42

By takin normal approximation to binomial  then sampling distribution of sample proportion  follow normal distribution.

Therefore,[tex]\hat{p}\sim N(\mu,\sigma^2)[/tex]

[tex]\mu_{\hat{p}}=p=0.58[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.58\times 0.42}{570}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.02067[/tex]

Now,

[tex]P(\hat{p}<0.57)=P(\frac{\hat{p}-\mu_{\hat{p}}}{\sigma_{\hat{p}}}<\frac{0.57-0.58}{0.02067})[/tex]

[tex]P(\hat{p}<0.57)=P(Z<-0.483)[/tex]

[tex]P(\hat{p}<0.57)=0.31561\times 100[/tex]

[tex]P(\hat{p}<0.57)[/tex]=31.561%

Hence,  the probability that the proportion of persons with a retirement account will be less than 57%=31.561%

Answer:

The mean proportional between 1/36 and 1/9 would be 1/18.

Answer:

gradient = 2

line: y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope from the slope intercept formula

y = mx + b

b is the y intercept

b = -4 and the point is (0,-4)

So far the equation looks like this.

y = mx - 4

Use the other intercept (x intercept) to find m

x = 2

y = 0

0 = m*2 - 4                Add 4 to both sides

4 = 2m                      Divide by 2

4/2 = m

m = 2

So the gradient or slope is 2

Answer:

5 * 2 + 3(4 + 2) - 4(5 * 2)

= 10 + 3(6) - 4(10)

= 10 + 18 - 40

Answer:

0.260

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

And, it found that ​P(D)=0.740​, where D is directly in person.

⇒P(D) is the probability flirting of directly in person.

⇒P( D ) represents the probability of flirting other than in person.  

P(D)=0.740    &   P( D )=1 - P(D)

P( D ) = 1 - 0.740.

P( D ) = 0.260

Hence the value of Upper P left parenthesis Upper D overbar right parenthesis is 0.260.

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

P(μ>40) = P(μ-(x-μ)/σ)............. Equation 1

Where P(μ>40) =  probability of the age of the random subscriber more than 40 years   μ = mean, σ = standard deviation, x = random subscriber

From the question,

Given: μ = 35 years, σ = 5 years, x = 40 years.

Therefore,

P(μ>40) = P(35-(40-35)/5) = P(35-(5/5)

P(μ>40) = 1-φ(1)

From the norminal probabilty table,

P(μ>40) = 1-0.8413

P(μ>40) = 0.1587
