When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial samples of different blood specimens. If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, 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.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that [tex]p = 0.06[/tex]

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.06)^{0}.(0.94)^{3} = 0.8306[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.8306 = 0.1694[/tex]

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

An angle of depression is measured from the horizon downwards and an angle of elevation is measured from the horizon upwards.

When solving for the sides or angles of a right triangle you can use trigonometry. The sine of an angle is found by the ratio of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. The cosine of an angle is found by the ratio of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. The tangent of an angle is found by the ratio of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

The opposite side is always the leg opposite the angle that you are using. The adjacent side is the leg that forms one of the sides of the angle you are talking about and the hypotenuse is always across from the right angle.

If you know two lengths you can find the third leg length by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The first inequality has a boundary line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of 9. Shading is above the boundary line.

The second inequality has a parallel boundary line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept somewhat lower, at -1. Shading is below this boundary line.

There is a gap between the shaded areas, so no points will be solutions to both inequalities.

how to calculate surface area​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Divide the figure into areas for which you have a surface area formula. Use the appropriate formula for each area, then add up the results.

Formulas are available for surface areas of a cone, cylinder, sphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, and for plane shapes that are circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, and regular polygons.

Most of the figures for which you are asked to find the area will decompose to some subset of these shapes. Take care to identify the relevant dimensions of each of the constituent parts of the area, and to make sure that all parts are accounted for. Do not allow your parts of the area to overlap, unless you intend to account for that overlap by subtracting the area that is counted more than once.

Also, use your common sense. A semicircle will have half the area of a circle, for example.

In some cases, it may be expedient to compute the area of a larger figure than the one you have, then subtract the part of that area that is missing from your figure.

Answers

Answer:

45 is 54.9 percent of 82.

26 is 520% of 5.

Answer:

45 is 55% of 82 and 520% of 5 is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to set up a proportion, using the is over of formula (Is/of= %/100). In the first problem, 45 will be the is, 82 will be the of, for % will be the x, and 100 will go on the bottom (it will look something like this: 45/82=x/100). When you solve it, you get around 55 (45x100/82.) Same thing for the next equation, use the same formula (is/of=%/100) which turns into: 5/26= x/100 and you get 520%.

2:prove that the two circles x²+y²+2ax+c²=0 and x²+y²+2by+c²=0 touch if
[tex]\frac{1}{a²}+\frac{1}{b²}=\frac{1}{c²}[/tex]​

Answers

Answer:

#1

The normal overlaps with the diameter, so it passes through the center.

Let's find the center of the circle:

x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0(x + g)² + (y + f)² = c + g² + f²

The center is:

(-g, -f)

Since the line passes through (-g, -f) the equation of the line becomes:

p(-g) + p(-f) + r = 0r = p(g + f)

This is the required condition

#2

Rewrite equations and find centers and radius of both circles.

Circle 1

x² + y² + 2ax + c² = 0 (x + a)² + y² = a² - c²The center is (-a, 0) and radius is √(a² - c²)

Circle 2

x² + y² + 2by + c² = 0 x² + (y + b)² = b² - c²The center is (0, -b) and radius is √(b² - c²)

The distance between two centers is same as sum of the radius of them:

d = √(a² + b²)

Sum of radiuses:

√(a² - c²) + √(b² - c²)

Since they are same we have:

√(a² + b²) = √(a² - c²) + √(b² - c²)

Square both sides:

a² + b² = a² - c² + b² - c² + 2√(a² - c²)(b² - c²)2c² = 2√(a² - c²)(b² - c²)

Square both sides:

c⁴ = (a² - c²)(b² - c²)c⁴ = a²b² - a²c² - b²c² + c⁴a²c² + b²c² = a²b²

Divide both sides by a²b²c²:

1/a² + 1/b² = 1/c²

Answer:

[tex](4,2), (5, 5)[/tex]

The formula to find the distance between two points on a 2-dimensional coordinate plane is as follows,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2*(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]

Substitute the endpoints of the line into the formula and solve for the distance between the points,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(4-5)^2*(2-5)^2}[/tex]

Simplify, solve for the distance between the two points,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(4-5)^2*(2-5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(-1)^2*(-3)^2}\\\\D=\sqrt{1*9}\\\\D=\sqrt{9}\\\\D=3[/tex]
