Suppose an employee is suspected of having used an illegal drug and is given two tests that operate independently of each other. Test A has probability 0.91 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used. Test B has probability 0.88 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used. The company requires that an employee, Al Capone, take and pass both tests to keep his job. Assume that Al has, in fact, been using the illegal drug. What is the probability that neither test is positive (and thus Al gets to keep his job)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that neither test is positive

P(A⁻ ∩ B⁻ ) = 0.0108

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i) :-

Given  the two tests are independently

Test A has probability 0.91 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used

P(A) = 0.91

Test B has probability 0.88 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used

P(B) = 0.88

If   events are independently then ,

[tex]P(A n B) = P(A) P(B)[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The probability that neither test is positive (and thus Al gets to keep his job)

[tex]P(A^{-} n B^{-} ) = P(A^{-} ) P(B^{-} )[/tex]

P(A⁻ ∩ B⁻ ) = P(A⁻ ) P(B⁻ )

                  = ( 1- P(A) ) ( 1 - P(B))

                 =  (1 - 0.91 ) ( 1 - 0.88 )

                = (0.09) (0.12)

               = 0.0108

The probability that neither test is positive

P(A⁻ ∩ B⁻ ) = 0.0108

Pls help fast

Answers

Answer:

E: 625

F: 155

G: 625

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

E.

A number, reduced by 20% is 500.

Originally, that number was at 100%.

Reduced = subtraction, so that number = 100%-20%, or 80%.

80% of a number = 500.

80% = .8

.8x = 500

Divide both sides by .8

x = 625

F.

A number that is increased by 100% is a number that is doubled (multiplied by 2).

2x=310

x=155

G.

Originally, the money was at 100%. After being reduced by 20%, the money is at 80% (.8).

.8x = 500

Once again, the answer is 625.

H (?)

To change a decimal to a percent, we multiply by a 100.

1.40 * 100 = 140%

A rectangular container can hold 45 candles, while a cylindrical container holds 41 candles. Each rectangular

package 6,400 candles, should it use only rectangular or only cylindrical containers to minimize costs? Explain.
How many rectangular containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?
How many cylindrical containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?
Which container should the company use to minimize costs? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

  a) no

  b) 143 rectangular containers

  c) 157 cylindrical containers

  d) both (preferring rectangular for the bulk of an order)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If the company needs to package 6,400 candles, should it use only rectangular or only cylindrical containers to minimize costs?

  No.*

For packaging 41 candles or fewer, the cylindrical container costs less than the rectangular one.

For packaging 6400 candles, there will be 10 candles left over if rectangular containers are used for most of the packaging needs. A dollar can be saved by packaging these remaining candles in a cylindrical container.

__

b) How many rectangular containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?

  6400/45 = 142 10/45

If rectangular containers are used for all, then 143 are needed.

__

c) How many cylindrical containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?

  6400/41 = 156 4/41

If cylindrical containers are used for all, the 157 are needed.

__

d) Which container should the company use to minimize costs?

  The cost of 143 rectangular containers is 143×$16 = $2288

  The cost of 157 cylindrical containers is 157×$15 = $2355

  The cost of 142 rectangular and 1 cylindrical container is $2287

If only one shape container is used, the company should use rectangular containers to minimize cost. If either shape can be used, cost will be minimized by using one cylindrical container for the remnant of the order.

_____

* This question is directed solely at the cost of materials required for packaging. We have advocated that both rectangular and cylindrical containers be made available. As a practical matter, the cost to the company of maintaining inventory of both sizes of containers may exceed the savings associated with using a cheaper container for smaller orders.

Here, we have the expression [tex]\frac{x^2 + 4}{2}[/tex] and we're asked

to evaluate the expression when x = -2.

To evaluate an expression, we simply plug

the value of the variable into the expression and solve.

So here, since x = -2, we have [tex]\frac{(-2)^2 + 4}{2}[/tex].

Notice that I used parentheses around the -2.

This is a good idea when substituting numbers in for variables.

Next, the order of operations tell us that exponent comes first.

So we have (-2)² which is 4.

So we have [tex]\frac{4 + 4}{2}[/tex].

Now when we have a division bar, it's important to understand

that it has the same effect on a problem as a set of parentheses

in that it groups terms together.

So this 4 + 4 can be thought of as being inside a set of parentheses.

So we can also write this as [tex]\frac{(4 + 4)}{2}[/tex].

Now simplify the top to get 8 and we have 8/2 which is 4.

Answer:

[tex]\sin(\theta)=4/5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the graph.

From the graph, we can see that our angle is in QII.

In QII, sine is positive and cosine and tangent are negative.

Since our point is at (-3, 4), this means that our adjacent side to our angle is -3 while our opposite side to our angle is 4.

To find sine, we need to find the hypotenuse c.

So, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Substitute -3 for a and 4 for b. This yields:

[tex](-3)^2+(4)^2=c^2[/tex]

Square:

[tex]9+16=c^2[/tex]

Add:

[tex]25=c^2[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides:

[tex]c=5[/tex]

So, our hypotenuse is 5.

And our adjacent is -3 and opposite is 4.

Now, remember that:

[tex]\sin(\theta)=\text{opp}/\text{hyp}[/tex]

Substitute 4 for the opposite and 5 for our hypotenuse. This gives us:

[tex]\sin(\theta)=4/5[/tex]

Since sine is positive in QII, we don't need to add any negatives.

And we're done!

Given the function f(a) = 5a + 14, solve for f(a) = 0.
Give an exact answer; do not round.

Answers

Answer:

a = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out your problem

f (a) = 5a + 14 | f (a) = 0

Step 2: Solve

f (a) = 5 (0) + 14 , Input a.

f (a) = 0 + 14 , 5 x 0 = 0

(a) = 14 , 0 + 14

a = 14

basically f(a) is your y and a is your x. The question is asking you what would your “y” be if your “x” is 0. If you plug 0 into the a, you would multiply 5•0 which would leave you with positive 14.
f(a)=5a+14
so basically y=5x+14 and x=0
plug in 0 for your x
y=0

QR

, PR = 20,

SR = 11, QS = 5

Find: The value of PS. EXTRA POINTS

Answers

Answer:

[tex]PS=13\text{ units}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that PR is 20, SR is 11, and QS is 5.

We also know that PQ is perpendicular to QR, forming the right angle at ∠Q.

We know all the side lengths except for PQ and PS (the one we want to find). Notice that if we find PQ first, we can then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find PS since we already know QS.

So, let's find PQ.

We can see that we can also use the Pythagorean Theorem on PQ. PQ, QR, and PR (the hypotenuse) will be our sides. So:

[tex](PQ)^2+(QR)^2=(PR)^2[/tex]

We know that PR is 20.

QR is the combined length of QS+SR, so QR is 5+11 or 16.

So, substitute:

[tex](PQ)^2+(16)^2=(20)^2[/tex]

Solve for PQ. Square:

[tex](PQ)^2+256=400[/tex]

Subtract 256 from both sides:

[tex](PQ)^2=144[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides:

[tex]PQ=12[/tex]

So, the side length of PQ is 12.

Now, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem again to find PS. Notice that PQ, QS, and PS also form a right triangle, with PS being the hypotenuse. So:

[tex](PQ)^2+(QS)^2=(PS)^2[/tex]

We already know that QS is 5. We also just determined that PQ is 12. Substitute:

[tex](12)^2+(5)^2=(PS)^2[/tex]

Square:

[tex]144+25=(PS)^2[/tex]

Add:

[tex]169=(PS)^2[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides:

[tex]PS=13[/tex]

Therefore, the length of PS is 13 units.

And we're done!

The answer to this is PS=13.

If the room is 30 feet high at the center and 90 feet wide at the floor, how far from the outer wall should each of them stand so that they will be positioned at the foci of the ellipse? Fill in the blank: Denise and Donna should each stand _____ ft from the outer wall so that they will be positioned at the foci of the ellipse. Round your answer to the nearest whole ft (no decimal places).

Answers

Answer:

34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

If the room is 30 feet high at the center and 90 feet wide at the floor,

Entire width of the room = 90 feet = 2a

a = 90/2 = 45

Height of the room = b = 30 feet

Foci (c)² = a² - b²

c = √a² - b²

c = √45² - 30²

c = √1125

c = 33.541019662 feet

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 34 feet

Denise and Donna should each stand 34 ft from the outer wall so that they will be positioned at the foci of the ellipse

Consider the figure below were line PQ is parallel to line RS

Part A: Solve for a and justify your answer
Part B: Determine m<ABQ
Part C: Determine m<BCR​
Plzzz HELP​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Find the figure attached. According to the figure, since line PQ is parallel to line RS, then <CBQ = <DCS (corresponding angle)

Also <BCS + <DCS = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)

Given

<BCS = (5a+14)° and <DCS = <CBQ =(2a-9)°

Substituting this values into the formula to calculate the value of a;

(5a+14)°+(2a-9)° = 180°

5a+2a+14-9 = 180

7a+5 = 180

7a = 180-5

7a = 175

a = 175/7

a = 25°

Hence the value of a is 25°

B) From the diagram <ABQ = <BCS = 5a+14 (corresponding angle)

Substitute a = 25 into the expression

<ABQ = 5(25)+14

<ABQ  = 125+14

<ABQ = 139°

C) To get <BCR, we will use the formula;

<BCR + <BCS = 180

Given <ABQ = <BCS = 139°

<BCR = 180 - <BCS

<BCR = 180 - 139

<BCR = 41°

Part A: 25

Answers

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the mean credit card debt of all college students in Illinois is [$316.06, $375.94] .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a sample of 50 college students in Illinois, the mean credit card debt was $346. Suppose that we also have reason to believe that the population standard deviation of credit card debts for this group is $108.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                               P.Q. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean credit card debt = $346

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = $108

            n = sample of college students = 50

            [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean credit card debt

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test statistics because we know about population standard deviation.

So, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

                                                 level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}    P(-1.96 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 1.96) = 0.95

P( [tex]-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}} }[/tex] < [tex]1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

P( [tex]\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]

                                       = [ [tex]\$346-1.96 \times {\frac{\$108}{\sqrt{50} } }[/tex] , [tex]\$346+1.96 \times {\frac{\$108}{\sqrt{50} } }[/tex] ]

                                       = [$316.06, $375.94]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the mean credit card debt of all college students in Illinois is [$316.06, $375.94] .
