The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.004. In tests for the​ virus, blood samples from 15 people are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for the​ virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test​ positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is [tex]P(R) = 0.0583 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The probability that selected adults are affected by virus is  p =  0.004

  The probability that adults are not affected by virus is  [tex]q= 1- p = 1-0.004 = 0.996[/tex]

    The sample size is  n =  15

 Generally from the question we are told that    

The probability that the combined sample tests positive is equal to the probability that  at least one person test positive for the  virus

So  

The probability that the combined sample tests positive for the​ virus is equal to  

  1- the probability that non of the adults selected tested positive for the virus

Generally the probability that  non of the adults selected tested positive for the virus is  

      [tex]P(k) = q^n[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(k) = q^{15}[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(k) = 0.996^{15}[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(k) =  0.9417 [/tex]

The probability that the combined sample tests positive for the​ virus is mathematically represented as

        [tex]P(R) = 1 - P(k)[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(R) = 1 - 0.9417 [/tex]

=>     [tex]P(R) = 0.0583 [/tex]

On average, indoor cats live to 16 years old with a standard deviation of 2.5 years. Suppose that the distribution is normal. Let X = the age at death of a randomly selected indoor cat. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible.


a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N([],[])


b. Find the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old.[]



c. The middle 20% of indoor cats' age of death lies between what two numbers?

Low: [] years

High: [] years

Answers

Answer:

(a) N (16, 2.5²)

(b) 0.241

(c) Low: 15.4 years

    High: 16.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the age at death of a randomly selected indoor cat.

(a)

The distribution of X is:

[tex]X\sim N(\mu = 16, \sigma^{2}=2.5^{2})[/tex]

(b)

Compute the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old as follows:

[tex]P(17.2<X<19.6)=P(\frac{17.2-16}{2.5}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{19.6-16}{2.5})[/tex]

                            [tex]=P(0.48<Z<1.44)\\=P(Z<1.44)-P(Z<0.48)\\=0.92507-0.68439\\=0.24068\\\approx 0.241[/tex]

Thus, the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old is 0.241.

(c)

Compute the two numbers within which 20% of indoor cats' age of death lies as follows:

[tex]P(x_{1}<X<x_{2})=0.20\\\\\Rightarrow P(-z<Z<z)=0.20\\\\P(Z<z)-P(Z<-z)=0.20\\\\P(Z<z)-[1-P(Z<z)]=0.20\\\\2P(Z<z)-1=0.20\\\\2P(Z<z)=1.20\\\\P(Z<z)=0.60[/tex]

The corresponding value of z is, 0.25.

Compute the value of x₁ and x₂ as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.25=\frac{x_{1}-16}{2.5}\\\\x_{1}=16+(0.25\times 2.5}\\\\x_{1}=16.625\\\\x_{1}\approx 16.6[/tex]                [tex]z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.25=\frac{x_{2}-16}{2.5}\\\\x_{2}=16-(0.25\times 2.5}\\\\x_{2}=15.375\\\\x_{2}\approx 15.4[/tex]

someone help me and explain this is really confusing me plzz I'll brainlist u !:)​

Answers

Answer:

Ok so 25$ for an adult. there are x adults so x times 25 is equals to $25x

13 dollars per child and y children so $13y

$20 for each pensioner and p pensioners so $20p

when adding these notice that none of the variable(latters) are the same so n adding will take place leaving the answer

$25x + $13y + $20p

a) $25x

b) $13y

c) $20p

d) $25x + $13y + $20p

Answer:

a) $25x, this is because if there are x number of adults coming, and $25 is the per adult charge, then irrespective of the number of adults coming this will be the equation. Eg : x = 5 So, $25 * 5 = $125

b) $13y, this is because if there are y number of children coming, and $13 is the per child charge, then irrespective of the number of children coming this will be the equation. Eg : y = 4 So, $13 * 4 = $52

c) $20p , this is because if there are x number of pensioners coming, and $20 is the per pensioner charge, then irrespective of the number of pensioner  coming this will be the equation. Eg : p = 2 So, $20 * 2 = $40

d) so, the total will be, = $25x + $13y + $20p

m-18=n
This makes no sense this is my 3rd time asking this question

Answers

Answer:

m=18+n

Step-by-step explanation:

m + -18 = n            simplify

-18 + m = n            record the terms

-18 + 18 + m = 18 + n             solve

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0,   0 + m = 18 + n,     m = 18 + n

Final answer: m = 18 + n

Answer:

IDK but here's what I have found.....

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

m + -18 = n

Reorder the terms:

-18 + m = n

Solving

-18 + m = n

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + m = 18 + n

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + m = 18 + n

m = 18 + n

Simplifying

m = 18 + n

Which value of b would make x²+bx−20 factorable? ​

given M is the midpoint of RS . RM=x+3 and MS=2x-1 . x=? and RM= ?

Answers

Answers:

x = 4

RM = 7

======================================================

Explanation:

The midpoint cuts the larger segment RS in two equal halves, so RM = MS

RM = MS

x+3 = 2x-1

3+1 = 2x-x

4 = x

x = 4

RM = x+3

RM = 4+3

RM = 7

MS = 2x-1

MS = 2*4-1

MS = 7

Both RM and MS are 7 units long, which confirms our answers.

RS = RM+MS

A translation is a geometric change in Euclidean geometry that involves moving each point in a figure, shape, or space by the same amount in one direction. A translation may alternatively be thought of as moving the origin of the coordinate system or as adding a constant vector to each point.

Given:

In the first quadrant, you start at (5,3) and move 2 units up.

Here, up means positive changes in the second value of coordinates

Translation:

(x, y) → (x, y +2)

Answer:

The pentagon shape = 8

The star shape = 6

The curl shape = 3

The wave pattern shape = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pentagon shape = w, the star shape = x, the curl shape = y, and the wave pattern shape = z

Horizontally, we have;

w + 2·x + y = 23.....(1)

2·y + 2·z = 16...........(2)

2·z + w + x = 24.. ..(3)

3·y + x = 15..............(4)

Vertically, we have;

2·x + z + y = 20.......(5)

2·y + w+ z = 19........(6)

From the above equations, we have;

From equation (4), we have x = 15 - 3·y

From equation (2), we have z = 8 - y

From equation (1), we have w = 23 - (2·(15 - 3·y) + y)

∴ w = 23 - 30 + 6·y - y = 5·y - 7

w = 5·y - 7

Substituting the above values for x, and z i equation (5) gives;

2·x + z + y = 2·(15 - 3·y) + 8 - y + y = 20

30 - 6·y + 8 - y + y = 20

6·y = 30 + 8 - 20 = 18

y = 18/6 = 3

y = 3

w = 5·y - 7 = 5×3 - 7 = 8

w = 8

z = 8 - y = 8 - 3 = 5

z = 5

x = 15 - 3·y = 15 - 3×3 = 15 - 9 = 6

x = 6

Therefore, we have;

w = The pentagon shape =8

x = The star shape =6

y = The curl shape = 3, and

z = The wave pattern shape =5

The number of each of the four given shapes filled in the rows and columns are;

8 inscribed pentagon shape

6 star shapes

3 spiral shapes

5 Waves inside rectangle shape

From the diagram, we see four shapes and so let us identify them with letters;

Inscribed pentagon shape = a

Star shape = b

Spiral shape = c

Waves inside rectangle shape = d

For the first row, we see 2 stars, one inscribed pentagon and one spiral shape. Thus;

a + 2b + c = 23   .....(eq 1)

For the second row, we see 2 spiral shapes and 2 Waves inside rectangle shape. Thus;

2c + 2d = 16  ......( eq 2)

For the third row, we see 1 star, one inscribed pentagon  and 2 Waves inside rectangle shape. Thus;

a + b + 2d = 24 ....(eq 3)

For the fourth row, we see 3 spiral shapes and one star shape. Thus;

b + 3c = 15 ....(eq 4)

Looking at the columns, we see that;

First column;

2c + a + d = 19  ....(eq 5)

Second column, we have;

2b + c + d = 20  .....(eq 6)

From eq 4; b = 15 - 3c

From eq 2, we have; d = 8 - c

Putting them in eq 1 gives;

a + 2(15 - 3c) + c = 23

a + 30 - 6c + c = 23

a = 5c - 7

Putting d = 8 - c and a = 5c - 7 into eq 5 gives;

2c + 5c - 7 + 8 - c = 19

6c + 1 = 19

6c = 18

c = 3

Put 3 for c in a = 5c - 7

a = 5(3) - 7

a = 8

Put 3 for c in b = 15 - 3c

b = 15 - 3(3)

b = 6

Put 3 for c in d = 8 - c

d = 8 - 3

d = 5
