Answer:
The probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes.
Suppose that a medical lab has developed a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it.
Let the probability that people in the United States have diabetes = P(D) = 0.083.
So, the probability that people in the United States do not have diabetes = P(D') = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.083 = 0.917
Also, let A = event that the diagnostic test is accurate
So, the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who have the disease = P(A/D) = 0.98
And the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who do not have the disease = P(A/D') = 0.95
Now, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is given by;
Probability = P(D) [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D) + P(D') [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D')
= (0.083 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.98) + (0.917 [tex]\times[/tex]0.95)
= 0.08134 + 0.87115
= 0.95249
Hence, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.
Century Roofing is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
Question Completion:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Answer:
Century Roofing
Project's NPV is: ($6,578)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Cash outflow in year 0 = $165,000 (Opportunity and new equipment costs)
Annual Cash inflow = $123,000 - $25,000 - $34,300 = $63,700
PV of annuity for 3 years at 10% = $158,422 ($63,700 x 2.487)
NPV = Cash inflow minus Cash outflow
= $158,422 - $165,000
= ($6,578)
Negative NPV
b) Since Century Roofing could have realized $100,000 from the sale of the building if it decides not to open the new warehouse, this opportunity cost is factored into the calculation of the Net Present Value. It becomes a present cash outflow. Century Roofing's opportunity cost is defined as the loss of $100,000 being the future return from the best alternative project when it chooses to build the new warehouse instead of selling off the building.

a lottery offers one $1000 prize one $500 and two $50 prizes. one thousand tickets are sold at $2.50. what is the expectived profit
Answer:
$900
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin with let us estimate the total cash value of the prices
$1000 x 1= 1000
$500 x 1= 500
$50 x 2= 100
Total = $1600
Now let us calculate the total cost of tickets sold at $2.50 per tickets for 1000 tickets
2.5*1000= $2,500
Assuming worse case that the lottery had winners in all three categories and i.e the total prices given out is $1600
Then the expected profit is = $2,500-$1600= $900
Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked.Required:a. What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30?b. What is the (approximate) probability that X is less than 30?c. What is the (approximate) probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive)?
Answer:
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is 0.7406.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked. A random sample of 200 shafts is taken.
Let X = the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 200, p = 0.11).
Here the probability of success is 11% that this much % of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked.
Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).
So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]200 \times 0.11[/tex] = 22
and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.11 \times (1-0.11)}[/tex]
= 4.42
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu =22, \sigma^{2} = 4.42^{2}[/tex])
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is given by = P(X < 30.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 30.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{30.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 1.92) = 0.9726
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.92 in the z table which has an area of 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{29.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.70) = 0.9554
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is given by = P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = P(X < 25.5) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 25.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{25.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.79) = 0.7852
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{14.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.70) = 1 - P(Z < 1.70)
= 1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.79 and x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.7852 and 0.9554.
Therefore, P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = 0.7852 - 0.0446 = 0.7406.

A normal population has a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 13. You select a random sample of 25. Compute the probability that the sample mean is: (Round your z values to 2 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places): Greater than 69.
Answer:
0.0618
Step-by-step explanation:
z = (x - μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = 69
μ is the sample mean = population mean = 65
σ is the sample standard deviation
This is calculated as:
= Population standard deviation/√n
Where n = number of samples = 25
σ = 13/√25
σ = 13/5 = 2.6
Sample standard deviation = 2.6
z = (69 - 65) / 2.6
z = 4/2.6
z = 1.53846
Approximately to 2 decimal places = 1.54
Using the z score table to determine the probability,
P(x = 69) = P(z = 1.54)
= 0.93822.
The probability that the sample mean is greater than 69 is
P(x>Z) = 1 - 0.93822
P(x>Z) = 0.06178
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.0618
13,226 divided by 29
13226/29= 456.068965517
Given the following hypotheses: H0: μ = 490 H1: μ ≠ 490 A random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9. Using the 0.01 significance level:
a.) State the decision rule.
b.) Compute the value of the test statistic.
c.) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
Answer:
We conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 490 {means that the population mean is equal to 490}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 490 {means that the population mean is different from 490}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 495
s = sample standard deviation = 9
n = sample of observations = 15
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{495-490}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
= 2.152
The value of t-test statistics is 2.152.
Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.977 and 2.977 at 14 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.
Yelena needs to swim a total of 8 miles this
week. So far, she swam 5 miles. Use the
equation 5 + m=8 to find how many more
miles Yelena needs to swim.
Answer:
3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + m=8
Subtract 5 from each side
5-5 + m=8-5
m = 3
She needs to swim 3 more miles
Answer:
Yelena needs to swim 3 more miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to solve for the variable "m", which represents the miles. Based on the information, Yelena swam 5 miles and she needs to swim 8. Solve:
[tex]5+m=8[/tex]
To find the value of m, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, you need to get the 8 and 5 on the same side of the equal operation. For this, you need to use reverse operations. This undoes the value from one side and does the same on the other, keeping the equation balanced. Since we have a "positive 5", we take the opposite, which would be a "negative 5". So subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]5-5+m=8-5[/tex]
Simplify. The 5's cancel each other out, leaving 0. 8-5 is 3:
[tex]m=3[/tex]
The total miles left that Yelena needs to swim is 3 miles.

A new fast-food firm predicts that the number of franchises for its products will grow at the rate dn dt = 6 t + 1 where t is the number of years, 0 ≤ t ≤ 15.
Answer:
The answer is "253"
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given- equation there is mistype error so, the correct equation and its solution can be defined as follows:
Given:

[tex]\to dn= 6\sqrt{t+1} \ \ dt.....(a)\\\\[/tex]
integrate the above value:

When the value of n=1 then t=0
[tex]\to 1= \frac{12(0+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\ \to 1= \frac{12(1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\\to 1-\frac{12}{3}=c\\\\\to \frac{3-12}{3}=c\\\\\to \frac{-9}{3}=c\\\\\to c=-3\\[/tex]
so the value of n is:
[tex]\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\[/tex]
when we put the value t= 15 then,
[tex]\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{15+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{16} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\times 64)}{3}-3\\\\\to n= (4\times 64)-3\\\\\to n= 256-3\\\\\to n= 253[/tex]

normal population has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 13. You select a random sample of 25. Compute the probability that the sample mean is: (Round your z values to 2 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places): Greater than 65.
Answer:
0.2207
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the probability that the sample mean is greater than 25.
What we use here is the z-scores statistic
Mathematically;
z-score = (x-mean)/SD/√n
From the question;
x = 65, mean = 63, SD = 13 and n = 25
Plugging these values in the z-score equation, we have
Z-score = (65-63)/13/√25 = 2/13/5 = 0.77
So the probability we want to calculate is ;
P(z > 0.77)
This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table
Thus;
P(z > 0.77) = 0.22065 which is 0.2207 to 4 d.p

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years will it take to reach $20 per month? Use the equation 20 = 8(1.2)x to solve the problem. Round to the nearest year. 1 year 5 years 2 years 16 years
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
[tex]y=ab^x\\8=ab^0\\a=8[/tex]
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
[tex]y=ab^x\\y=8(1.2^x) \\[/tex]
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
[tex]20=8(1.2)^x\\20/8=1.2^x\\1.2^x=2.5\\Taking \ natural\ log\ of \ both\ sides:\\ln(1.2^x)=ln2.5\\xln(1.2)=0.9163\\x=0.9163/ln(1.2)\\x=5.026[/tex]

Find the LCM of 7 and 9: 63Find how much we increased each number to get to 63: we increased 7 by 9, and we increased 9 by 7Multiply the numerators by the corresponding increase numbers: 5 × 9 = 45, and 2 × 7 = 14Put the new numerators over the new denominators, so it looks like this: [tex]\frac{45}{63}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{14}{63}[/tex] Finally, subtract one from the other and here's what you get: [tex]\frac{31}{63}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is [tex]\frac{31}{63}[/tex].
We have seen how to convert specified odds from a "fair bet" into the gamblerâs belief about the likelihood of an event happening. The following are related.a. Torik gives 5:3 odds that someone will walk in late for class tomorrow. What probability does lie assign for this event? b. Mikko believes there is a 60% chance that at least five students from this class will be at the next basketball game. If he were to set up odds, what would they be? c. Change the 60% to 75%. Now would would be the odds?
