Po is an oncologist with seven patients in their care. the probability that a patient will survive five years after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer is 0.82. what is the probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0923 = 9.23% probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each patient, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are still alive after five years, or they are not. The probability of a patient being alive is independent of any other patient, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Po is an oncologist with seven patients in their care.

This means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]

The probability that a patient will survive five years after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer is 0.82.

This means that [tex]p = 0.82[/tex]

What is the probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years?

This is P(X = 4). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{7,4}.(0.82)^{4}.(0.18)^{3} = 0.0923[/tex]

0.0923 = 9.23% probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years.

A certain country has 586.08 million acres of forest. Every year, the country loses 7.92 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes. If this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 237.6 million acres of forest left? (Use an equation to solve this problem.)

Answers

Answer:

At this pace the country will have only 237.6 million acres of forest left in 44 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain country has 586.08 million acres of forest, and every year, the country loses 7.92 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes, to determine, if this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 237.6 million acres of forest left, the following calculation must be performed:

Current amount - (amount lost per year x number of years) = 237.6

586.08 - (7.92 x X) = 237.6

586.08 - 7.92X = 237.6

-7.92X = 237.6 - 586.08

-7.92X = -348.48

X = -348.48 / -7.92

X = 44

Therefore, at this pace the country will have only 237.6 million acres of forest left in 44 years.

Answer:

Option B. A = (5/6)^-⅛

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

We can obtain the value of A as follow:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

Cancel x from both side

5/6 = A¯⁸

Recall:

M¯ⁿ = 1/Mⁿ

A¯⁸ = 1/A⁸

Thus,

5/6 = 1/A⁸

Cross multiply

5 × A⁸ = 6

Divide both side by 5

A⁸ = 6/5

Take the 8th root of both sides

A = ⁸√(6/5)

Recall

ⁿ√M = M^1/n

Thus,

⁸√(6/5) = (6/5)^⅛

Therefore,

A = (6/5)^⅛

Recall:

(A/B)ⁿ = (B/A)¯ⁿ

(6/5)^⅛ = (5/6)^-⅛

Therefore,

A = (5/6)^-⅛

Angle 3 is 157 degrees                                  Vertical Angle to Angle 1

Angle 4 is 23 degrees                                   Vertical angle to Angle 2

Answers:

angle 2 = 23 degreesangle 3 = 157 degreesangle 4 = 23 degrees

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

Explanation:

Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary as they form a straight line. So the angles add to 180

(angle1)+(angle2) = 180

angle2 = 180-(angle1)

angle2 = 180-157

angle2 = 23 degrees

Angle 4 is congruent to this because angles 2 and 4 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent. Note how angles 1 and 4 are supplementary.  

Since angles 1 and 3 are the other pair of vertical angles, this must mean angle 3 is 157 degrees.

A random sample of 30 patties that were inspected over the course of the last week revealed that the average weight was 95.0 grams. The standard deviation was 0.25 grams. What percentage of the deliveries is likely to be outside the specification limits (outside the interval of [94.5, 95.5])

Answers

Answer:

4.56% of the deliveries are likely to be outside the specification limits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The average weight was 95.0 grams. The standard deviation was 0.25 grams.

This means that [tex]\mu = 95, \sigma = 0.25[/tex]

What percentage of the deliveries is likely to be outside the specification limits (outside the interval of [94.5, 95.5])?

Less than 94.5, or more than 95.5. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are the same, so we can find one of them and multiply by two.

The probability that it is less than 94.5 is the p-value of Z when X = 94.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{94.5 - 95}{0.25}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0228

2*0.0228 = 0.0456

0.0456*100% = 4.56%

4.56% of the deliveries are likely to be outside the specification limits.

What is congruency?

We know two similar planer figures are congruent when we have sides or angles or both that are the same as the corresponding sides or angles or both.

The similarity of triangles on the other hand is when the corresponding angles are equal but the corresponding sides are not equal but they have the same common ratio.

From the given diagram a quadrilateral ABCD is given,

Line segment AC divides quadrilateral ABCD into two triangles namely

ABC and ADC, and both have a common side AC.

m∠BAC ≅ m∠DAC and m∠BCA ≅ m∠DAC.

Answer:

z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. collect like terms

5z-5=25-5z

2. Move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign

5z-5+5z=25

3. Collect like terms

10z=25+5

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 10

z=3

The solution to the equation is z = 3.

To solve for z in the equation 3z - 5 + 2z = 25 - 5z, we can simplify and combine like terms on both sides:

3z + 2z + 5z = 25 + 5

Combining the terms on the left side gives:

10z = 30

Next, we isolate the variable z by dividing both sides of the equation by 10:

(10z)/10 = 30/10

This simplifies to:

z = 3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is z = 3.

Kern Shipping Inc. has a requirement that all packages must be such that the combined length plus the girth (the perimeter of the cross section) cannot exceed 99 inches. Your goal is to find the package of maximum volume that can be sent by Kern Shipping. Assume that the base is a square.

a. Write the restriction and objective formulas in terms of x and y. Clearly label each.
b. Use the two formulas from part (a) to write volume as a function of x, V(x). Show all steps.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a)

Assuming the shape of the base is square,

suppose the base of each side = x

Then the perimeter of the base of the square = 4x

Suppose the length of the package from the base = y; &

the height is also = x

Now, the restriction formula can be computed as:

y + 4x ≤ 99

The objective function:

i.e maximize volume V = l × b × h

V = (y)*(x)*(x)

V = x²y

b) To write the volume as a function of x, V(x) by equating the derived formulas in (a):

y + 4x ≤ 99   --- (1)

V = x²y          --- (2)

From equation (1),

y ≤ 99 - 4x

replace the value of y into (2)

V ≤ x² (99-4x)

V ≤ 99x² - 4x³

Maximum value V = 99x² - 4x³

At maxima or minima, the differential of [tex]\dfrac{d }{dx}(V)=0[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d}{dx}(99x^2-4x^3) =0[/tex]

⇒ 198x - 12x² = 0

[tex]12x \Big({\dfrac{33}{2}-x}}\Big)=0[/tex]

By solving for x:

x = 0 or x = [tex]\dfrac{33}{2}[/tex]

Again:

V = 99x² - 4x³

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dx}= 198x -12x^2 \\ \\ \dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}=198 -24x[/tex]

At x = [tex]\dfrac{33}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}\Big|_{x= \frac{33}{2}}=198 -24(\dfrac{33}{2})[/tex]

[tex]\implies 198 - 12 \times 33[/tex]

= -198

Thus, at maximum value;

[tex]\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}\le 0[/tex]

Recall y = 99 - 4x

when at maximum x = [tex]\dfrac{33}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = 99 - 4(\dfrac{33}{2})[/tex]

y = 33

Finally; the volume V = x² y is;

[tex]V = (\dfrac{33}{2})^2 \times 33[/tex]

[tex]V =272.25 \times 33[/tex]

V = 8984.25 inches³
