A new test is developed to test for organic matter in soil samples, giving "positive" or "negative" results to indicate that a sample does or does not contain organic matter.

For a soil sample that contains organic matter, the test will give a positive result 95% of the time and a negative result (false negative) 5% of the time. For a soil sample that does not contain organic matter, the test will give a positive result (false positive) 20% of the time and a negative result 80% of the time.

A study included a population of 1,000 soil samples, and 70% of those studied where known to contain organic matter.

Fill in the missing values in the table and statement below. If necessary, round the percentage to one decimal place.


Number of
Samples Positive
Result Negative

Answer:

91%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If a soil sample test gives a positive result, it is **91.7%** likely that the soil sample contains organic matter.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

The formula of probability is defined as the ratio of a number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

We are given that;

Positive results= 95%

Negative results= 5%

Now,

Positive result = 700 * 0.95 = 665

Negative result = 700 * 0.05 = 35

Similarly, for the soil samples that do not contain organic matter, we know that 20% of them will give a positive result and 80% will give a negative result. So, we can multiply 300 by 0.2 and 0.8 to get:

Positive result = 300 * 0.2 = 60

Negative result = 300 * 0.8 = 240

To fill in the missing value in the statement, we can use Bayes' theorem, which states that:

P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B)

So, we have:

P(contains organic matter | positive result) = P(positive result | contains organic matter) * P(contains organic matter) / P(positive result)

P(positive result) = P(positive result | contains organic matter) * P(contains organic matter) + P(positive result | does not contain organic matter) * P(does not contain organic matter)

P(positive result) = 0.95 * 0.7 + 0.2 * 0.3

P(positive result) = 0.665 + 0.06

P(positive result) = 0.725

Plugging these values into Bayes' theorem, we get:

P(contains organic matter | positive result) = (0.95 * 0.7) / (0.725)

P(contains organic matter | positive result) = (0.665) / (0.725)

P(contains organic matter | positive result) = 0.9172

Therefore, by probability the answer will be 91.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠BPD: 120°mBC + mAD =120°What is angle?

A figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common endpoint is called an angle.

Given:

mBD =70°

mCA = 170°

So,

m∠BPD= 1/2( (m∠BD + m∠CA))

=1/2(170+70)

=1/2*240

=120

and,

mBC + mAD = 360 - ( 70 + 170 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Square both sides and you will get

3xy/(x + y) = 4

Multiplying both by (x + y), we get

3xy = 4(x + y) = 4x + 4y

Put all the terms containing y to the left side:

3xy - 4y = 4x

y(3x - 4) = 4x

or y = 4x/(3x - 4)

Show me how to find x using the correct equation shown here (geometry)

Answers

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles same- side interior angles and sum to 180°

Then the equation to use to find x is

12x - 29 + 4x + 1 = 180

16x - 28 = 180 ( add 28 to both sides )

16x = 208 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 13

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles ( 12x - 29 ) and ( 4x + 1 ) are co - interior angles.

Sum of co - interior angles are supplementary.

12x - 29 + 4x + 1 = 180

12x + 4x - 29 + 1 = 180

16x - 28 = 180

16x = 180 + 28

16x = 208

x = 208 / 16

x = 13

Rocco has a weekly reading schedule, reading for 4.5 hours per day on some days and 3.5 hours per day on the other days. He reads a total of 25.5 hours in a seven-day week. On how many days does he read for 4.5 hours?

Answers

Answer:

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours

x + y = 7 (1)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

From (1)

x = 7 - y

Substitute x = 7 - y into (2)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

4.5(7 - y) + 3.5y = 25.5

31.5 - 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5

- 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5 - 31.5

-y = -6

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1)

x + y = 7 (1)

x + 6 = 7

x = 7 - 6

x = 1

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

200.96= 12.57r^2

r^2= 200.96/12.57
