Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from people are combined and the mixture tests​ negative, then 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 ​, find the probability of a positive result for 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:

The probability of testing positive for one is 0.20.

The probability of testing negative for one sample is (1-0.2)=0.8.

We only save time when all five are negative, which has a probability of 0.8^5=0.32768.

This means that the expected number of tests is

combined sample tests negative = 1 with probability 0.32768

combined sample tests positive = 1+5 retests = 6 with probability 0.67232

Expected number of tests

=Σ nipi / n

=(1*0.32768+6*0.67232)/5 [divide by 5 because we tested 5 samples]

= 0.87232 < 1

So yes, there is a saving.

Note: In practice, all medical tests are not absolute, i.e. they give false-positives(α) and false-negatives (β). The ratios 1-α and 1-β are respectively measures of specificity and sensitivity.

These two parameters complicate the simplistic evaluation above.

You run a local bakery. You know from experience that muffin sales can be represented by a normal distribution with mean 40 and standard deviation 6. Today you bake 34 muffins. What is the probability you run out of muffins today?

Answers

The is a probability of 15.87% that if you bake 34 muffins it would run out of today.

What is z score

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z = (x - μ) / σ

Where x = raw score, μ = mean and σ = standard deviation.

Given that σ = 6, μ = 40, hence:

For x = 34:

z = (34 - 40)/6 = -1

P(z < -1) = 0.1587

Frank paid $22.40 for sweatshirt it had been discounted by 30%. What was the regular price of the sweatshirt?

Answers

The original price would be $32.

If the original price marked down 30% is $22.40, than $22.40 must be 70% of some number.

22.40 is 70% of 32. 30% of 32 is 9.60.

If we deduct 30% ($9.60) from 32, we get $22.40, thus proving the answer is $32.

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 11.2m and a base with a diameter of 8.8.

Answers

227.1 m³

Explanation:

[tex]\sf \ formula \ of \ volume \ of \ cone \ \ : \dfrac{1}{3} \ \pi \ r^2 \ h[/tex]

[tex]\sf \hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (4.4)^2 (11.2)[/tex]

[tex]\sf \hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (216.832)[/tex]

[tex]\sf \hookrightarrow 72.3 \pi \ m^3[/tex]

[tex]\sf \hookrightarrow 227.066 \ m^3[/tex]

[tex]\sf \hookrightarrow 227.1 \ m^3[/tex]

Solution:

We know that:

[tex]Volume \ of \ cone = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3} \\\\ Height = 11.2 \ m\\\\ Diameter = 8.8[/tex]

Step-1: Find the radius of the cone.

[tex]Diameter = 2(Radius) \\\\ 8.8 \ m = 2(Radius) \\\\ \frac{8.8}{2} = \frac{2(Radius)}{2} \\\\ 4.4 \ m = Radius[/tex]

Step-2: Substitute the radius and the height in the formula.

[tex]Volume \ of \ cone = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3} \\\\ Volume \ of \ cone = (3.14)( 4.4^{2})( \frac{11.2}{3})\\\\ Volume\ of \ cone = (3.14)(19.36)( \frac{11.2}{3}) \\\\ Volume \ of \ cone = \frac{680.85}{3} = \bold{226.95 = 227 \ m^{3} \ (Rounded)}[/tex]

Thus, the volume of the cone is about 227 m³.

The serum cholesterol levels for men in one age group are normally distributed with a mean of 178.1 and a standard deviation of 40.7. (All units are in mg/100mL). Find the two levels that separate the top 9% and the bottom 9%.

Please explain!

Answers

Answer:

  the levels are 123.5 and 232.7 mg/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse normal function is used to find limit values from an area (probability).

Your calculator can show these values to you. (see attached)

The top 9% are above 232.7 mg/mL.

The bottom 9% are below 123.5 mg/mL.

__

A suitable calculator can evaluate the inverse normal function to find the x-value corresponding to some area, mean, and standard deviation. For the level that separates the bottom 9% from the rest of the area, we use an area value of 0.09. The mean and standard deviation values are those provided in the problem statement.

For the level that separates the top 9% from the rest of the area, we use an area value of 1 -0.09 = 0.91.

__

The second attachment shows an online calculator that can give the limits on the middle 0.91 -0.09 = 0.82 of the area under the probability curve.

_____

Additional comment

An app version of an approximation to a TI-Nspire calculator is shown in the first attachment. The invNorm function is found at the Distr key (2nd VARS).

For the top 9% we have to find the value x for which

P(X<x) = 0.91

Converted to the standard normal distribution this corresponds to

P(Z<(x-178.1)/40.7) = 0.91

Then: (x-178.1)/40.7 = 1.341

or x = 232.7

For the bottom 9% we have to find the value x for which

P(X<x) = 0.09

Converted to the standard normal distribution this corresponds to

P(Z<(x-178.1)/40.7) = 0.09

Then: (x-178.1)/40.7 = -1.341

or x = 123.5

So the 2 levels that separate the top 9% and the bottom 9% are 232.7 and 123.5.

tan(x/2)=sinx/1+cosx​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \tan( \frac{x}{2} ) = \frac{ \sin(x) }{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]

[tex] \tan( \frac{x}{2} ) = \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos(x) } }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

So we have

[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos(x) } }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

Next, we then rationalize the numerator so we get

[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos(x) } }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } \frac{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } }{1 + \cos(x) } = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ {1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

The denominator should be square root so to let you know .

So know we ahev

Four friends go to the movies and pay $11 per ticket. They also each buy a snack
combo. If they spent a total of $76, how much did each snack combo cost?

Answers

Answer:

Each snack combo costed $8

Step-by-step explanation:

4 friends* 11 per ticket = $44 for four tickets

76 - 44 = $32 spent on all the snack combos

$32 ÷ 4 friends = $8 spent on each snack combo

So, each snack combo costed $8

Hope this helps!

They spent $44 on tickets all together. We would do 76-44 to see what they spent all together on snack combos. They spent a total of $32 on snack combos. 32/4 gives you what they EACH spent on snacks. They each spent $8 on snack combos.

A cornhole board measures 30 inches by 12 inches. The hole has a diameter of 4 inches. What is the probability of a point being on the board but not inside of the hole?
(PLEASE GIVE GOOD ANSWER ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST)

Answers

Answer:

3.48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = Area of hole / Area of board

= 3.14 x 2 x 2 / 12 x 30

= 12.56 / 360

= 0.0348

= 3.48%

30” x 12” = 360”

360” is the cornhole board so is therefore the denominator and the total size of the board.

If the hole has a diameter of 4 inches, we would divide by 2 to get the radius as the radius is 1/2 of the diameter. Once we have the radius (2 inches). We would then find the area of the hole to find the probability of a point being landed inside the hole.

The formula to find the area of a circle is
Area = pi • radius squared

So, A = 3.141 • 2 • 2 = 12.564”

The area of the circle is 12.564”

We could then do

12.564”
———— = 0.0349 = 3.49%
360”

This means there is a 3.49% chance of landing a point into the hole. We could subtract 100% by 3.49% and get 96.51%
OR

Since we know the area of the hole is 12.564”, we could simply subtract the cornhole board by the area of the hole and then divide that by the cornhole board.



360” - 12.564” = 347.436”

347.436”
————- = 0.9651 = 96.51%
360”

The probability of a point being on the board but not inside of the hole is a 96.51% chance (IF THERE IS NO BIAS VARIABLE MESSING WITH IT AND THERES AN EQUAL CHANCE OF LANDING A POINT).
