Atest indicates the presence of a particular dis- ease 90% of the time when the disease is present and the presence of the disease 2% of the time when the disease is not present. if 0.5% of the population has the disease, cal- culate the conditional probability that a person selected at random has the disease if the test indicates the presence of the disease.

Answer from: keke2933

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 0.5% probability that a person has the disease.

A 99.5% probability that a person does not have the disease.

If a person has the disease, a 90% probability that the test indicates the disease.

If a person does not have the disease, a 2% probability that the test indicates the disease.

Calculate the conditional probability that a person selected at random has the disease if the test indicates the presence of the disease.

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

So:

What is the probability of the person having the disease, given that the test indicated the presence of the disease?

P(B) is the probability of the person having the disease. So P(B) = 0.005 .

P(A/B) is the probability of the person being diagnosticated, given that she has the disease. So P(A/B) = 0.90 .

P(A) is the probability of the person being diagnosticated. That is 90% of 0.5% and 2% of 99.5%. So

P(A) = 0.005(0.90) + 0.02(0.995) = 0.0244

Finally

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

$P = \frac{0.005*0.90}{0.0244}$

P = 0.1844 .

If the test indicates the presence of the disease, there is a 18.44% probability that the person has the disease.

u divide 24 by 3 and u get 8 so if u do 8 time 7 or 8+8+8+8+8+8+8 u get 56 and 56 divided by 7 is 8.

Answer from: Quest

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

$\text{simple interest} = \frac{principal\times rate\times time}{100} \\\\\text{simple interest} = \frac{1000\times 4\times 10}{100}=\$400\\\\amount = principal + interest\\amount = 1000 + 400 = \$1400$

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
