g Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15​, find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely​ necessary?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

The objective is to obtain the [tex]\text{probability of a positive result}[/tex] for 2 samples combined into a [tex]\text{mixture}[/tex].

Given that the [tex]\text{probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15}[/tex]

The probability of the positive test result is calculated as follows :

P ( positive mixture ) = P(1 or more samples positive)

                                  = 1 - P (none +ve)

                                  = 1 - P ((-ve) x (-ve))

                                  [tex]$= 1-P(-ve )^2$[/tex]

                                  [tex]$=1-[1-P(+ve)]^2$[/tex]

                                  [tex]$=1-(1-0.15)^2$[/tex]

                                  [tex]$=1-(0.85)^2$[/tex]

                                  = 1 - 0.7225

                                  = 0.2775

No, the probability is not low enough.

The greatest common factor of 45a^2b^3 and 18a^4b

Answers

Answer:

9a²b

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We need to find the greatest common factor out of 45a²b³ and 18[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b

We can split apart the monomials to make it easier

45a²b³ is 45*a²b³

18[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is 18*[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b

First, let's find the GCF out of 45 and 18 (the number coefficients)

we can find all of the multiples of the 2 numbers:

45 is made up of 9 and 5

9 is made up of 3 and 3

so 3*3*5 is 45

18 is made up of 2 and 9

9 is made up of 3 and 3

so 2*3*3 is 18

3*3 is in both 45 and 18, so 9 is the GCF out of 45 and 18

Now let's find the GCF out of a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b

a²b³ made up of a² and b³

so a²b³ is a*a*b*b*b

[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is made up of [tex]a^{4}[/tex] and b

so [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is a*a*a*a*b

a*a*b is in both a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b, so the GCF out of a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is a²b

Now multiply 9 and a²b together, as they are only the GCF of the parts of the monomials

9*a²b=9a²b

there's the greatest common factor of the 2 monomials

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First remove the parentheses.

As the sign outside the second parentheses is  a + then the signs of the terms inside stay the same.

So the first one + (-3x +2) is just -3x + 2.

All the others on the left column are answered in the same way.

No. 4:

(-2x + 10 + (-8x - 1)     Just remove the parentheses, we get:

-2x + 10 - 8x - 1           (we leave out the + before the second parentheses).

= -2x - 8x + 10 - 1        

= -10x + 9

6. 8x + 8 + ( -6x - 1)

= 8x + 8 - 6x - 1

= 8x - 6x + 8 - 1

= 2x + 7.

- the other expressions on the right side column are solved in the same way.

A loan of £1000 has a compound interest rate of 2.7% charged monthly. Express the original loan as a percentage of the total amount awed after 2 months if no payment are made

Answers

Answer:

£1054.729

Step-by-step explanation:

To find compound interest you need to use the equation 1000(1.027)^x.

To find the interest rate (1.027):

100 + 2.7 = 102.7

102.7 / 100 = 1.027

The value of x is the amount of months if no payment is made in this situation, so 2 would be the x value for this problem.

Answer:

20,475 cream cups are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 2 mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing (in mm3/s) when the diameter is 100 mm

Answers

Answer:

The radius is increasing at a rate of 62832 cubic millimeters per second when the diameter is of 100 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere:

The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}[/tex]

How fast is the volume increasing:

To find this, we have to differentiate the variables of the problem, which are V and r, implicitly in function of time. So

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 2 mm/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = 2[/tex]

How fast is the volume increasing (in mm3/s) when the diameter is 100 mm?

Radius is half the diameter, so [tex]r = \frac{100}{2} = 50[/tex]

Then

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt} = 4\pi (50)^2(2) = 62832[/tex]

The radius is increasing at a rate of 62832 cubic millimeters per second when the diameter is of 100 mm.

The weights of certain machine components are normally distributed with a mean of 5.19 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.05 ounces. Find the two weights that separate the top 8% and the bottom 8%. These weights could serve as limits used to identify which components should be rejected

Answers

Answer:

The  weight that separate the top 8% by 5.2605 and the weight that separate bottom 8% by 5.1195.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,[tex]\mu=5.19[/tex]

Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=0.05[/tex]

We have to find the two weights that separate the top 8% and the bottom 8%.

Let x1 and x2 the two weights that separate the top 8% and the bottom 8%.

Z-value for p-value =0.08 =[tex]-1.41[/tex]

For 8% bottom

[tex]Z=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=-1.41[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x_1-5.19}{0.05}=-1.41[/tex]

[tex]x_1-5.19=-1.41\times 0.05[/tex]

[tex]x_1=-1.41\times 0.05+5.19[/tex]

[tex]x_1=5.1195[/tex]

For 8% top

p-Value=1-0.08=0.92

Z- value=1.41

Now,

[tex]\frac{x_2-5.19}{0.05}=1.41[/tex]

[tex]x_2-5.19=1.41\times 0.05[/tex]

[tex]x_2=1.41\times 0.05+5.19[/tex]

[tex]x_2=5.2605[/tex]

(x1,x2)=(5.1195,5.2605)

A 8 year old boy has 6 different toys and wants to put them all in a straight line.
In how many ways can this be done?

I would appreciate step by step, as I have no clue on how to solve. Thanks!

Answers

Answer:  720

============================================================

Explanation:

The number 8 from "8 year old boy" can be completely ignored. In my opinion, this is an (un)intentional distraction on your teacher's part.

There are 6 toys to arrange. The order is important.

For the first slot, there are 6 choices. Then the second slot has 5 choices (we cannot have a toy occupy more than one slot at a time).The third slot has 4 choices, and so on.

We have this countdown: 6,5,4,3,2,1

Those values multiply out to 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720

There are 720 ways to arrange the 6 different toys. Order matters.

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

An alternative approach is to use the nPr permutation formula with n = 6 and r = 6. We use a permutation because order matters.

The nPr formula is

[tex]_{n} P _{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\[/tex]

where the exclamation marks indicate factorial. For example, 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720.

Find the probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two. (3pts) e. Are the events in part c. and in part d. mutually exclusive

Answers

Answer:

a. The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.

b. 0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

c. 0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

d. 0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two

e. Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own stocks, or they do not. The probability of a person owning stocks is independent of any other person, 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.

One in four people in the US owns individual stocks.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

You randomly select 12 people and ask them if they own individual stocks.

This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]

a. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the resulting probability distribution.

The mean of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

So

[tex]E(X) = 12(0.25) = 3[/tex]

The variance is:

[tex]V(X) = np(1-p)[/tex]

So

[tex]V(X) = 12(0.25)(0.75) = 2.25[/tex]

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{2.25} = 1.5[/tex]

The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.

b. Find the probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

This is P(X = 6). So

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

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.25)^{6}.(0.75)^{6} = 0.0401[/tex]

0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

c. Find probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 = 0.1584[/tex]

0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

d. Find the probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{10} = 0.2323[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 + 0.2323 = 0.3907[/tex]

0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.

e. Are the events in part c. and in part d. mutually exclusive

Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.
