Suppose the probability of an athlete taking a certain illegal steroid is 10%. A test has been developed to detect this type of steroid and will yield either a positive or negative result. Given that the athlete has taken this steroid, the probability of a positive test result is 0.995. Given that the athlete has not taken this steroid, the probability of a negative test result is 0.992. Given that a positive test result has been observed for an athlete, what is the probability that they have taken this steroid

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

93.25% probability that they have taken this steroid

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test

Event B: Taking the steroid.

Suppose the probability of an athlete taking a certain illegal steroid is 10%.

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.1[/tex]

Given that the athlete has taken this steroid, the probability of a positive test result is 0.995.

This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.995[/tex]

Positive test:

99.5% of 10%(If the athlete has taken).

100-99.2 = 0.8% of 100-10 = 90%(Athlete has not taken)

Then

[tex]P(B) = 0.995*0.1 + 0.008*0.9 = 0.1067[/tex]

Given that a positive test result has been observed for an athlete, what is the probability that they have taken this steroid

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1*0.995}{0.1067} = 0.9325[/tex]

93.25% probability that they have taken this steroid

Solve: 3x
+ 4 = 5x - 4x - 8​

Answers

Answer:

3x =  - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify this equation in terms of what is already provided:

3x + 4 = 5x - 4x - 8 ⇒ 3x + 4 = x - 8

2. Now subtract 3x from either side, at the same time adding 8 to either side:   3x + 4 = x - 8 ⇒ 4 = -2x - 8 ⇒ 12 = -2x

3. Divide -2 on either side to isolate the x, and recieve it's value:

12 = -2x ⇒ x = 12/-2 ⇒ x = -6

4. The question demads for the value of 3x, so simply multiply the known value of x by 3, as such: x = -6 ⇒ 3x = -6 * 3 = -18

The answer is 3x=-18

If you flip a coin 10 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on tails?

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of tails is 1/2, so the expected value is (1/2) (10) = 5.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of land a tail when the coin is tossed once is 1/2 because a coin has two sides and contains one head

Then when it is tossed 10 times, the no of time a tail appears is. 1/2 * 10 =5

The equivalent value of trigonometric relation sin⁻¹ ( √3/2 ) = π/3

What are trigonometric relations?

Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the angles and the lengths of the sides of triangles

The six trigonometric functions are sin , cos , tan , cosec , sec and cot

Let the angle be θ , such that

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

cosec θ = 1/sin θ

sec θ = 1/cos θ

cot θ = 1/tan θ

Given data ,

Let the trigonometric relation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

sin⁻¹ ( √3/2 ) = θ

Now , the value of θ is calculated by

In a triangle , sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

So , sin θ = √3/2

The value of θ = 60°

So , the measure of 60° in radians is θ = π/3

Hence , the value of θ from the trigonometric relation is π/3

We conduct a study to determine whether the majority of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election. We choose a significance level of 0.05. We survey 650 randomly selected community college students and find that 54% of them plan to vote. The P-value is 0.02. H0: 50% of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election. Ha: More than 50% of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election. What can we conclude

Answers

Answer:

we can conclude that more than 50% of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election

Step-by-step explanation:

Decision Rule

If;

P-value > significance level --- accept Null hypothesis

P-value < significance level --- reject Null hypothesis

Z score > Z(at 95% confidence interval) ---- reject Null hypothesis

Z score < Z(at 95% confidence interval) ------ accept Null hypothesis

Null hypothesis H0: 50% of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election

H0: p = 0.50

Ha: More than 50% of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election

Ha: p > 0.50

P-value = 0.02

From the decision rule;

Since the p-value for this study is less than the significance level.

0.02 < 0.05

So, we reject the null hypothesis, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We thereby accept the alternative hypothesis.

Therefore, we can conclude that more than 50% of community college students plan to vote in the next presidential election

Find the area of the regular polygon.

Round your answer to the

nearest tenth if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the dimension of the polygon is not given.

However, I'll give a general explanation of how to calculate the area of a regular polygon.

If you follow these simple steps, you'll arrive at your answer.

The area of a polygon is calculated as thus;

A = ½(nbh)

Where A represent the area

n represents the number of sides

b represents the length of the base

h represent the height of the polygon

Take for instance, the polygon is a regular pentagon.

This means n = 5.

Also assume that the base and the height are 5cm and 7cm respectively.

This means that

Area = ½ * (5 * 5 * 7)

Area = ½ * 175

Area = 87.5cm²

Hence, the area of the polygon is 87.5cm²

Find z1z2 if z1 = 3(cos37° + isin37°) and z2 = 2/3(cos53° + isin53°).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z_{1}\cdot z_{2} = 2\cdot (\cos 90^{\circ} + i \cdot \sin 90^{\circ})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Both variable can be rewritten into polar form:

[tex]z_{1} = 3\cdot e^{i\cdot 0.205\pi}[/tex] and [tex]z_{2} = \frac{2}{3}\cdot e^{i\cdot 0.294\pi}[/tex]

The complex product is equal to:

[tex]z_{1}\cdot z_{2} = (3)\cdot \left(\frac{2}{3}) \cdot e^{i\cdot (0.205\pi+0.294\pi)}[/tex]

[tex]z_{1}\cdot z_{2} = 2 \cdot e^{i\cdot 0.499\pi}}[/tex]

The resultant expression in rectangular form is:

[tex]z_{1}\cdot z_{2} = 2\cdot (\cos 90^{\circ} + i \cdot \sin 90^{\circ})[/tex]

Answer:

The correct question is:

Find [tex]z_{1}.z_{2}[/tex] if [tex]z_{1}= 3(cos37 + isin37)[/tex] and [tex]z_{2}= \frac{2}{3} (cos53 + isin53)[/tex].

(Note: the angles mentioned in the equations above are in degrees)

The answer is [tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= 2i[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= 3(cos37 + isin37)* \frac{2}{3} (cos53 + isin53)[/tex]

[tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= (3cos37 + 3isin37)* (\frac{2}{3} cos53 + \frac{2}{3}isin53)[/tex]

[tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= 3cos37*\frac{2}{3} cos53 + 3cos37*\frac{2}{3}isin53+3isin37*\frac{2}{3} cos53+3isin37*\frac{2}{3}isin53[/tex]

[tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= 0.961+1.275i+0.724i-0.961[/tex] (Because [tex]i*i=i^{2}=-1[/tex] & [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex])

[tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= 0.961+1.275i+0.724i-0.961[/tex]

[tex]z_{1}.z_{2}= 2i[/tex]
