In a particular country, 3% of the population is HIV positive. A test for HIV correctly
diagnoses 95% of those who have the condition, but incorrectly diagnoses 4% of those
who are not HIV positive as being HIV positive. A patient obtains a positive test result,
apparently indicating the presence of HIV. Determine the probability that the patient
really is HIV positive.

Answers

Answer 1

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.4235 = 42.35% probability that the patient  really is HIV positive.

Conditional Probability

[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 problem:

Event A: positive test.Event B: HIV positive.

The percentages involving a positive test are:

95% of 3%(positive)4% of 100 - 3 = 97%(not positive).

Hence:

[tex]P(A) = 0.95(0.03) + 0.04(0.97) = 0.0673[/tex]

The probability of both having a positive test and being HIV positive is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.95(0.03)[/tex]

Then, the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.95(0.03)}{0.0673} = 0.4235[/tex]

0.4235 = 42.35% probability that the patient  really is HIV positive.

Two computers just scanned for viruses at the same time. Computer A runs a virus scan every 3.75 days. Computer B runs a virus scan every 4.5 days. How long will it be until both computers runs a virus scan at the same time again?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

List out multiples for both 3.75 and 4.5

3.75+3.75=7.5

7.5+3.75=11.25

11.25+3.75=15

15+3.75=18.75

18.75+3.75=22.5

4.5+4.5=9

9+4.5=13.5

13.5+4.5=18

18+4.5=22.5

At 22.5 days will both computers scan at the same time

If computer A runs a virus scan every 3.75 days. Computer B runs a virus scan every 4.5 days. It takes 22.5 days to be until both computers to run a virus scan at the same time again

What is an arithmetic operation?

It is defined as the operation in which we do the addition of numbers, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It has basic four operators that are +, -, ×, and ÷.

It is given that, two computers just scanned for viruses at the same time. Computer A runs a virus scan every 3.75 days. Computer B runs a virus scan every 4.5 days.

We have to add the multiples of 3.75 days for computer A as,

3.75+3.75=7.5

7.5+3.75=11.25

11.25+3.75=15

15+3.75=18.75

18.75+3.75=22.5

For computer B

4.5+4.5=9

9+4.5=13.5

13.5+4.5=18

18+4.5=22.5

22.5 is the common multiple for both cases,

Thus, if computer A runs a virus scan every 3.75 days. Computer B runs a virus scan every 4.5 days. It takes 22.5 days to be until both computers to run a virus scan at the same time again.

Answer:

point C partitions AB into a ratio 1:3

they say to find the lengths of AC and CB

Usually in maths questions like this look at the order of things placed. Meaning…

ratio — 1:3

find — AC and CB

1 — AC

3 — CB

so now we know

1:3

AC:CB

1+3 = 4

28/4 = 7

7*1 = 7 = AC

7*3 = 21 = CB

2. Write an equation of the line that passes through (-2,3) and is parallel to the line y=2x-1.

Answers

Hello there! :)

Parallel lines have identical slopes.

So if one line has a slope of 2, then the line parallel o it would have the same slope.

Now, use the Point-Slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=2(x-(-2)

y-3=2x+4

y=2x+4+3

y=2x+7

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=2x+7

Hi! So in equations similar to this, you will need to use PEMDAS.

P - Parenthesis

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

Now that you know this, reevaluate your equation.

7-2x8+1

Firstly, you must multiply -2 and 8. Leaving you with -16.

7-16+1

Next, subtract 16 from 7.

-9 + 1

Finally, add -9 and 1.

-8

Your final answer is -8.
