A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.6%. If the false negative rate is 8% and the false positive rate is 3%, compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1562 = 15.62% probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Tests positive

Event B: Has the disease.

Probability of a positive test:

100 - 8 = 92% of 0.6%(person has the disease).

3% of 100 - 0.6% = 99.40%(person does not have the disease). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.92*0.006 + 0.03*0.994 = 0.03534[/tex]

Probability of testing positive and having the disease:

92% of 0.6%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.92*0.006 = 0.00552[/tex]

Probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.00552}{0.03534} = 0.1562[/tex]

0.1562 = 15.62% probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

Consider the figures shown to answer Part A and Parts B.


Which figures have a volume greater than 600 cubic inches?
Select all that apply.
A. Cylinder #1
B. Cone #1
C. Cylinder #2
D. Cone #2
E. Sphere

Answers

Answers are C and E hope this helps!!

volume of sphere is 4.8 times the volume of cone (1).

A). Options (C) and (E) is correct.

B). 4.8 times

To choose the figure.

What is mensuration?

The act of measuring geometry applied to the computation of lengths, areas, or volumes from given dimensions or angles.

Given that:

Part A

Volume of cylinder (1) = πr²h

                                   = π*(6)²*(5)

                                   = 565.5 cubic inches

Volume of cone (1)=π*r²*h/3

                             =π*6²*5/3

                             = 188.5 cubic inches

Volume of sphere =4π*r²*r/3

                               =4π*6²*6/3

                                = 904.8 cubic inches

Figure having volume greater than 600 cubic inches are cylinder (2) and sphere.

Part (B)

Volume of sphere/Volume of cone (1)=904.8/188.5 =4.8

Therefore, volume of sphere is 4.8 times the volume of cone (1).

A survey was run by a high school student in order to determine what proportion of mortgage-holders in his town expect to own their house within 10 years. He surveyed 35 mortgage holders and found that the proportion of these that did expect to own their house within 10 years is 0.51. The student decides to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion. a)Calculate the margin of error that the high school student will have. Give your answer as a decimal to 2 decimal places. Margin of error

Answers

Answer:

The margin of error is of 0.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

He surveyed 35 mortgage holders and found that the proportion of these that did expect to own their house within 10 years is 0.51.

This means that [tex]n = 35, \pi = 0.51[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

a)Calculate the margin of error that the high school student will have.

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{35}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.1656[/tex]

Rounding to 2 decimal places, the margin of error is of 0.17.

250 employees in an organization were surveyed about their hair color and height. The data collected is presented in the table. If a person is selected at random, what is the probability that the person is taller than 180 centimeters and has black hair?

A) 0.257

B) 0.351

C) 0.360

D) 0.116​

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees in the organization = 250

Total person who have height greater than 180 centimeters and also have  black hair = 29

Probability of choosing a person who is taller than 180 centimeters and has black hair is

[tex]\frac{29}{250} = 0.116[/tex]

Hence, option D is correct

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

D) 0.116​

You have to find the probability of choosing a person at random taller than 180 cm and with black hair.

In the data provided 29 people meet that criteria. Out of 250 people in total you just divide.

29/250=0.116

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know the equation for volume which is: length×width×height

You have the length and the width which those are: l=8 and w=9

Multiply the length and width together: 8×9=72

Then divide 360÷72=5

Check your math: 8×9×5=360

Therefore, the correct answer is 5
