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.

the cost of a ticket to the circus if $23 for children and $48 for adults. on a certain day at the circus the attendance was 1,100 and the total gate revenue was $45,300. How many children and adults bought tickets?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults = a and children = c,

(1) a + c = 1100

(2) 48a + 23c = 45300

From the (1) equation, a = 1100 - c

Then substitute a = 1100 - c into (2),

48(1100 - c) + 23c = 45300

52800 - 48c +23c = 45300

-25c = -7500

c = 300

Substitute c = 1500 into a = 1100 - c,

a = 1100 - 300

a = 800

Therefore, 800 adults and 300 children bought the tickets

Answer: Third Choice. 3i√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of radical expression and an imaginary number.

A radical expression is any mathematical expression containing a radical symbol. If you need to multiply the number outside of radical back into the radical, then you need to square the number then multiply.

For example: 2√5. We need to first square 2, which gives us 4. Then, it becomes √(4 × 5) = √20

Imaginary numbers are the numbers when squared it gives the negative result. An imaginary number is a complex number that can be written as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i, which is defined by its property i² = −1.

Solve:

3√3 = √(3 × 3²) = √27     FALSE

-3√(3i) = √(3i × (-3)²) = √27i     FALSE

3i√3 = √(3 × (3i)²) = √-27     TRUE

3√(3i) = √(3i × 3²) = √27i     FALSE

As we can see from above, only the third choice equals √-27.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

so angles in a triangle add up to 180,

32+50+m<MQP=180

82+m<MQP=180

m<MQP=180-82

=98°

and angles on a straight line add up to 180 therefore

m<MQR=180-m<MQP

=180-98

Define mean and median for a set of data

Answers

Answer:

The mean is the average number of a data set gotten by adding all the numbers then dividing by two.

the median is the middle number in a sorted set of data,either sorted in ascending order or descending order.

I hope this helps

To calculate mean:

• add up all the numbers,

• then divide by how many numbers there are.

Example:

Data: 5, 6, 10, 1

Add these all together, which is 22, then divide by 4 (because that is how many numbers there are), so:

the mean is 5.5

To calculate median:

Arrange your numbers in order.

Cross off numbers until you get to the middle.

If there is an even number of data, then find the two in the middle and find the middle of that.

Example:

Data: 5, 6, 10, 1

Arrange: 1, 5, 6, 10

So, the middle 2 are 5 and 6. In between these would be 5.5, so that is the median.

If the data was: 1, 5, 6, 8, 10,

then the median would be 6.

Adrian hopes that his new training methods have improved his batting average. Before starting his new regimen, he was batting 0.250 in a random sample of 56 at bats. For a random sample of 25 at bats since changing his training techniques, his batting average is 0.440. Determine if there is sufficient evidence to say that his batting average has improved at the 0.02 level of significance. Let the results before starting the new regimen be Population 1 and let the results after the training be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

According to the manufacturer's claim, we build an hypothesis test, find the test statistic and the p-value relative to this test statistic, we have that:

The value of the test statistic is z = 1.65.The p-value of the test is of 0.0495 > 0.02, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to say that his batting average has improved at the 0.02 level of significance.

As the test involves a comparison of samples, it involves subtraction of normal variables, and for this, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Before:

Average of 0.250 in 56 at bats, so:

[tex]p_B = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]s_B = \sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{56}} = 0.0579[/tex]

After:

Average of 0.44 in 25 at bats, so:

[tex]p_A = 0.44[/tex]

[tex]s_A = \sqrt{\frac{0.44*0.56}{25}} = 0.0993[/tex]

Test if there was improvement:

At the null hypothesis, we test if there was no improvement, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is 0:

[tex]H_0: p_A - p_B = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there was improvement, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is positive, so:

[tex]H_1: p_A - p_B > 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the samples:

[tex]X = p_B - p_A = 0.44 - 0.25 = 0.19[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2 + s_B^2} = \sqrt{0.0579^2 + 0.0993^2} = 0.1149[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.19 - 0}{0.1149}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.65[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a difference of at least 0.19, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.65.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.65 has a p-value of 0.9505.

1 - 0.9505 = 0.0495.

The p-value of the test is of 0.0495 > 0.02, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to say that his batting average has improved at the 0.02 level of significance.

The range of the function will be (-16, 17)

The range of function f(x) = 3x + 2 overthe interval -6 < x < 5 is (-13,14)

What is Range?

The difference between the highest and lowest values.

The given function is  f(x) = 3x + 2

f(x) equal tp three times of x plus two.

The given interval is minus six less than x less than five.

-6 < x < 5

Which means the x values are -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,3,4

Plus in the function

f(-5)=-15+2=-13

f(-4)=-10

f(-3)=-9+2=-7

f(-2)=-6+2=-4

f(-1)=-3+2=-1

f(0)=0+2=2

f(1)=3+2=5

f(2)=6+2=8

f(3)=9+2=11

f(4)=12+2=14

Hence the range of function f(x) = 3x + 2 overthe interval -6 < x < 5 is (-13,14)

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of the perimeters of the first nonagon to the second is 3.6 to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a regular nonagon has an area of 90 square feet, and a similar nonagon has an area of 25 square feet, to determine what is the ratio of the perimeters of the first nonagon to the second, the following calculation must be performed:

25 = 1

90 = X

90/25 = X

3.6 = X

Therefore, the ratio of the perimeters of the first nonagon to the second is 3.6 to 1.
