In a particular country, 3% of the population is HIV positive. A test for HIV correctly
diagnoses 95% of those who have the condition, but incorrectly diagnoses 4% of those
who are not HIV positive as being HIV positive. A patient obtains a positive test result,
apparently indicating the presence of HIV. Determine the probability that the patient
really is HIV positive.

Answers

Answer 1

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.4235 = 42.35% probability that the patient  really is HIV positive.

Conditional Probability

[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 problem:

Event A: positive test.Event B: HIV positive.

The percentages involving a positive test are:

95% of 3%(positive)4% of 100 - 3 = 97%(not positive).

Hence:

[tex]P(A) = 0.95(0.03) + 0.04(0.97) = 0.0673[/tex]

The probability of both having a positive test and being HIV positive is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.95(0.03)[/tex]

Then, the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.95(0.03)}{0.0673} = 0.4235[/tex]

0.4235 = 42.35% probability that the patient  really is HIV positive.

A basketball player made 12 out of 15 free throws she attempted. She wants to know how many consecutive free throws she would have to make to raise the percent of successful free throws to 85%. Write an equation to represent this situation. Solve the equation. How many consecutive free throws would she have to make to raise her percent to 85%? Answer:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of ADDITIONAL throws

(12 + x) / (15 + x) = 0.85

12 + x = 0.85(15 + x)

12 + x = 12.75 + 0.85x

0.15x = 0.75

x = 5 more successful consecutive throws. or 17 out of 20

Solve −3x2 + 30x − 90 = 0

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so, it is a quadratic equation :

-3x² + 30x - 90 = 0

the first thing we can do is divide by 3

-x² + 10x - 30 = 0

remember, the formula to solve and find the 2 solutions is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case here

a = -1

b = 10

c = -30

x = (-10 ± sqrt(100 - 4×-1×-30))/-2 =

= (-10 ± sqrt(100 - 120))/-2 = (-10 ± sqrt(-20))/-2 =

= (-10 ± sqrt(4×5)i)/-2 = (-10 ± 2×sqrt(5)i)/-2 =

= 5 ± -sqrt(5)i

x1 = 5 - sqrt(5)i

x2 = 5 + sqrt(5)i

remember, i = sqrt(-1), a complex number.

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the line x = 6. What is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola?

Answers

Answer:

x-coordinate of the vertex: h = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides the graph of a parabola into two congruent parts.  The vertex of a parabola, (h, k) is the point where the graph intersects the axis of symmetry.

In the standard form of quadratic equation, y = ax² + bx + c:

[tex]\large \sf{axis\:of\:symmetry:\:x\:=\:\frac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

In the vertex form of quadratic function, y = a(x - h)²+ k:

[tex]\large \sf{axis\:of\:symmetry:\:h\:=\:\frac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

Hence, the axis of symmetry is the point where x = h.  

Given these definitions, we can infer that the x-coordinate of the axis of symmetry is the same as the x-coordinate of the vertex, where h = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , that is

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180° , substitute values

75° + ∠ B + 20° = 180°

∠ B + 95° = 180° ( subtract 95° from both sides )

AT WHAT X-VALUE DOES A
RELATIVE MINIMUM
OCCUR?

Answers

The graph was too small for me to see so I used the first derivative test to find it:

The answer is 4.24

(Super long explanation, my work is below):

For this test, first you find the derivative of the function, then you set that value to 0 and find the x values. This gives you the critical points, which you can use to test the intervals on the graph. Since this function has an open interval we can use - infinity and infinity as the endpoints of out test. When the value of derivative changes from a negative interval to a positive interval, that is a relative min.

Answer:

  x ≈ 4.239

Step-by-step explanation:

A relative minimum is found at the bottom of any U-shape on the graph. If you expand the graph shown until it has a suitable scale, it can show you the relative minimum occurs at x ≈ 4.239.

Additional comment

The relative maximum occurs at the top of any ∩-shape. The graphing calculator can show you that occurs at x ≈ -1.573.

In the base ten number 4325 , how many times
greater than the value represented by the digit 2 is the value represented by the digit 4 ?

Answers

Using the concept of place value, the digit 4 is 200 times greater than the digit 2.

Given the number :

4325

The digit 2 is in the tens place = 2 × 10 = 20

The digit 4 is in the thousand place = 4 × 1000 = 4000

The number of times greater can be obtained thus :

4000 / 20 = 200

Hence, the digit 4 is 200 times greater than the digit 2.

solve the literal equation a + 4b = 5b - 3a for a

Answers

Simplifying
a + 4b = 5b + -3a

Reorder the terms:
a + 4b = -3a + 5b

Solving
a + 4b = -3a + 5b

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '3a' to each side of the equation.
a + 3a + 4b = -3a + 3a + 5b

Combine like terms: a + 3a = 4a
4a + 4b = -3a + 3a + 5b

Combine like terms: -3a + 3a = 0
4a + 4b = 0 + 5b
4a + 4b = 5b

Add '-4b' to each side of the equation.
4a + 4b + -4b = 5b + -4b

Combine like terms: 4b + -4b = 0
4a + 0 = 5b + -4b
4a = 5b + -4b

Combine like terms: 5b + -4b = 1b
4a = 1b

Divide each side by '4'.
a = 0.25b

Simplifying
a = 0.25b
