g 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?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

The objective is to obtain the [tex]\text{probability of a positive result}[/tex] for 2 samples combined into a [tex]\text{mixture}[/tex].

Given that the [tex]\text{probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15}[/tex]

The probability of the positive test result is calculated as follows :

P ( positive mixture ) = P(1 or more samples positive)

                                  = 1 - P (none +ve)

                                  = 1 - P ((-ve) x (-ve))

                                  [tex]$= 1-P(-ve )^2$[/tex]

                                  [tex]$=1-[1-P(+ve)]^2$[/tex]

                                  [tex]$=1-(1-0.15)^2$[/tex]

                                  [tex]$=1-(0.85)^2$[/tex]

                                  = 1 - 0.7225

                                  = 0.2775

No, the probability is not low enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the given equation as

[tex]x^2 + \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{12}{25} = (x + \frac{4}{5})(x - \frac{3}{5})[/tex]

As a check, let's multiply out the factors:

[tex](x + \frac{4}{5})(x - \frac{3}{5}) = x^2 - \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{4}{5}x - \frac{12}{25}[/tex]

[tex]= x^2 + \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{12}{25}[/tex]

and this is our original equation.

what is the solution to the system of equations below 2x - y = 10 and y=1/2 x+5​

Answers

Answer:

(10, 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - y = 10 → (1)

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 5 → (2)

Substitute y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 5 into (1)

2x - ([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 5) = 10 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

2x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 5 = 10

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x - 5 = 10 ( add 5 to both sides )

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x = 15 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

Substitute x = 10 into (2) and evaluate for y

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (10) + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

solution is (10, 10 )

Answers

Answer:

[tex]hright =12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

The formula to find the area of a triangle is  [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]  where [tex]b[/tex] stands for the base and [tex]h[/tex] stands for the height.

But we already know the area and the base. So to find the height, let's substitute 72 for [tex]A[/tex] and 12 for [tex]b[/tex], and solve.

[tex]72=\frac{1}{2}(12)(h)[/tex]

[tex]72=6h[/tex]

The graph shows the distance Liam traveled from school in miles (y) as a function of time in seconds (x). The graph is divided into four segments labeled P, Q, R, and S, respectively.
Graph shows 4 segments. Segment P is a horizontal straight line. Segment Q is a slanting straight line going up. Segment R is a slanting line going up. Segment S is a slanting straight line going down that touches the x-axis.

Which segment shows Liam waiting for a cab? (5 points)
Select one:
a. P

c. R
d. S

Answers

Answer:

P

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking at an f(x) graph where x is time and y is distance. Any time a graph is sloping we are either moving closer or further from the school. When there is a horizontal line, this means that there is no change in distance, thus Liam is waiting/standing still.

4. The average salary for public school teachers for a specific year was reported to be $39,385. A random sample of 50 public school teachers in a particular state had a mean of $41,680, and the population standard deviation is $5975. Is there sufficient evidence at the a _ 0.05 level to conclude that the mean salary differs from $39,385

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0066 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean salary differs from $39,385

Step-by-step explanation:

The average salary for public school teachers for a specific year was reported to be $39,385. Test if the mean salary differs from $39,385

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of $39,385, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 39385[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean differs from this, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu \neq 39385[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

39385 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 39385[/tex]

A random sample of 50 public school teachers in a particular state had a mean of $41,680, and the population standard deviation is $5975.

This means that [tex]n = 50, X = 41680, \sigma = 5975[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{41680 - 39385}{\frac{5975}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.72[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability that the sample mean differs from 39385 by at least 2295, which is P(|Z| > 2.72), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of Z = -2.72.

Looking at the z-table, Z = -2.72 has a p-value of 0.0033

2*0.0033 = 0.0066

The p-value of the test is 0.0066 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean salary differs from $39,385

the sum of the first ten terms of an arithmetic progression consisting of positive integers is equal to the sum of the 20th, 21st and 22nd term. If the first term is less than 20, find how many terms are required to give a sum of 960

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is = 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression with first term a and constant difference d is

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d[/tex]

using this formula in this problem

Solution:

The sum of the first ten terms is

[tex]S_{10}=\dfrac{10}{2}[2a+(10-1)d[/tex]

[tex]S_{10}=5(2a+9d)[/tex]

The sum of the 20th, 21st, and 22nd terms is three times the 21st term:

[tex]3a_{21}=3(a+(21-1)d)[/tex]

[tex]3a_{21}=3(a+20d)[/tex]

[tex]3a_{21}=3a+60d[/tex]

The problem then tells us

[tex]S_{10}=3a_{21}[/tex]

[tex]10a+45d=3a+60d[/tex]

[tex]7a=15d[/tex]

there are only positive integers and the first term a is less than 20 as given. Since 7 and 15 have no common factor, the only explanation of the requirements is a = 15 and d = 7. So the progression is

then, 15, 22, 29, 36, ...

The problem says to find the number of terms n for which the sum is 960:

putting value in the formula

[tex]30n+7n^{2}-7n=1920\\7n^{2}+23n-1920=0[/tex]

solving quadratic will give n = 15

thus, the correct answer is 15.

This appears to be an SSA application of solving the triangle

We have 2 sides, so we will use the law of cosines

The law of cosines defines for a triangle ABC with side a/b/c with corresponding angles A/B/C

a^2 = b^2+c^2 - 2*b*c * (cos A)

this applies to the other 2 sides

first using the pythagorean theorem we find that BC = sqrt(55)

then we substitute all 3 sides into our equation to find angle A

55 = 64 + 9 - 2*8*3* (cos A)

18 = 2*8*3(cos A)

3/8 = (cos A)

and angle A is approximately 68 degrees

Please check if I'm correct

Answer:

67.98°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 sides, you can find the missing angle of a right triangle using basic trig functions.

Since Cos∅=adjacent/ hypotenuse, we can use the adjacent side to the angle, 3 and they hypotenuse, 8 in the ratio by doing 3/8. This is 0.375. Then we use the inverse cosine function to find the angle. This gives 67.98°

Or

Cos∅=0.375

Cos^-1= 67.98

the poultry farmer decided to make his own chicken scratch by combining alfalfa and corn in rail car quantities.A rail car of corn costs $400 and a rail car of alfalfa costs $200. The farmer's chickens have a minimum daily requirement of vitamin K (500 milligrams) and iron (400 milligrams), but it doesn't matter whether those elements come from corn, alfalfa, or some other grain. A unit of corn contains 150 milligrams of vitamin K and 75 milligrams of iron. A unit of alfalfa contains 250 milligrams of vitamin K and 50 milligrams of iron.Formulate the linear programming model for this situation.

Answers

Answer:

- Min Z = $400C + $200A

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear programming model deals with the minimization or maximization of a linear function of several variables and inequalities. This method assists the industries in minimizing costs and maximizing production.

In the given situation,

The Linear programming model would be:

Min Z = $400C + $200 A

which is based on:  

150 mg of vitamin K in corn C + 250 mg of vitamin K in AlfaAlfa  ≥ 500

75 mg of iron in Corn + 50 mg of iron in AlfaAlfa ≥ 400

∵ C, A ≥ 0

Thus, the equation would be,

Min Z = $400C + $200 A
