Suppose the probability of a false positive result on a mammogram is 4%. Suppose that the probability of a false negative result on a mammogram is 2%. Assume that the probability that a randomly chosen woman has breast cancer is 0.0002. If a woman has a positive test result, what is the probability that she actually has breast cancer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0049 = 0.49% probability that she actually has breast cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

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

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test result

Event B: Breast cancer

Probability of a positive test result:

4% of (1 - 0.0002)

98% of 0.0002

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.04*(1 - 0.0002) + 0.98*0.0002 = 0.040188[/tex]

Having breast cancer and testing positive.

98% of 0.0002

So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.98*0.0002 = 0.000196[/tex]

What is the probability that she actually has breast cancer?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.000196}{0.040188} = 0.0049[/tex]

0.0049 = 0.49% probability that she actually has breast cancer

y=1240⋅2.03x

Answers

Answer: y=300⋅2.03x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

D.) y = 300 ⋅ 2.03x

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the plug-in method, you use "Hours" as the X in this question.

If you plug in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 to y = 300 ⋅ 2.03x, you will get the closest answers to "Bateria Count"

1,236.27 = 300 ⋅ 2.03^2
5,094.54= 300 ⋅ 2.03^4
2,0994.11 = 300 ⋅ 2.03^6
86,514.63 = 300 ⋅ 2.03^8
and so on- all are the closest to the chart.

Joe and Nancy decide to take a road trip. The first 72 miles of the drive are pretty easy, while the last 84 miles of the drive are filled with curves. They drove at an average 7 miles per hour faster for the first 72 miles of the trip. The entire trip took 3 hours. How fast were Joe and Nancy driving for the first 72 miles of the trip?

Answers

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

let r be the rate for the slower, 84 miles, portion of the trip

let t1 be the time for the 120 miles portion of the trip and t2 for the 84 miles portion

:

1) t1 + t2 = 3

2) (r+9)*t1 = 120 and r*t2 = 84

3) (r+9)*t1 + r*t2 = 120 + 84 = 204

:

expand the left side of equation 3

:

r*t1 + 9*t1 + r*t2 = 204

r*(t1+t2) +9*t1 = 204

:

substitute for (t1+t2) by using equation 1)

:

3*r + 9*t1 = 204

:

divide both sides of = by 3

:

4) r + 3*t1 = 68

:

use the equation for t1 from the equations defined at 2)

:

t1 = 120 / (r+9)

:

substitute for t1 in equation 4)

:

r + 3*(120/(r+9)) = 68

:

r^2 +9r +360 = 68 * (r+9)

:

r^2 -59r -252 = 0

:

(r-63)*(r+4) = 0

:

r = 63 and r = -4

:

we reject the negative value for r

:

3. [tex]\tan(\frac{x}{2}) + \cos x \tan(\frac{x}{2}) = \sin x[/tex]

Answers

Seems like there is a correction in the first question (RHS is tanx.tany)

(i) For convenience: let tanx = a ; tany = b

Thus, tanx + tany = a + b

Moreover, cotx = 1/tanx = 1/a ; coty = 1/b

Thus,

cotx + coty = 1/a + 1/b = (a + b)/ab

Hence,

=> (tanx + tany)/(cotx + coty)

=> (a + b) / { (a + b)/ab }

=> ab(a + b)/(a + b)

=> ab => tanx.tany , proved.

(ii) For convenience: let sinx = a ; cosx = b

As we know, sin²x + cos²x = 1 => a²+b²=1

=> (a³ + b³)/(a + b)

=> (a + b)(a² + b² - ab) / (a + b)

=> (a² + b² - ab)

=> 1 - ab => 1 - sinx.cosx , proved

(iii): let x/2 = A

=> tan(x/2) + cosx.tan(x/2)

=> tanA + cos2A.tanA

=> tanA [1 + cos2A]

=> tanA (2cos²A) {1+cos2A = 2cos²A}

=> (sinA/cosA) (2cos²A)

=> sinA (2cosA)

=> 2sinAcosA

=> sin2A

=> sin2(x/2)

=> sinx proved

Letting x/2 = A is not mandatory. I did it to decease words*(in a line).

Indentities used:

• sin²A + cos²A = 1

• (a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² + b² - 1)

• 1 + cosA = 2 cos²(A/2)

• tanA = sinA/cosA.

• 2sinAcosA = sin2A

Find the surface area and volume of the prism​

Answers

Answer:

I only know the first one.

The surface area of the prism is 900 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the surface area, we need to find the area of the SURFACE not the inside of the cube. Lets do the rectangles first.

28 x 13 = 364

28 x 5 = 140

28 x 12 = 336

   1 1

   336

+  140

   364

-------------

  8 4 0

Now lets do the triangles.

Remember! To find the area of a triangle, you have to do Base x Height x 1/2 because it's half a rectangle.

(The triangles have the same area)

12 x 5 x 1/2 = 30

12 x 5 x 1/2 = 30

  30

+ 30

--------

 60

The last step is to add the areas of the triangles and the rectangles.

   1

   840

+    60

------------

   900 cm2

The answer is 900cm2

This Is not copy pasted, I actually put in all this effort.

if sinθ = A, find cos(π/2-θ)

(using trigonometric identities to fine the value)

Answers

Answer:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Sin(θ) = A

And we want to find the value of Cos(π/2 - θ)

Here we can use the cosine relationship:

Cos(a - b) = Cos(a)*Cos(b) + Sin(A)*Sin(B)

Then:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = Cos(π/2)*Cos(θ ) + Sin(π/2)*Sin(θ)

We know that:

Cos(π/2) = 0

Sin(π/2) = 1

Then:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = Cos(π/2)*Cos(θ ) + Sin(π/2)*Sin(θ) = 0*Cos(θ ) + 1*Sin(θ)

                    = 1*Sin(θ) = A

Cos(π/2 - θ) = A
