Marie is sorting pencils into boxes. She put 2 pencils in the first box, 10 pencils in the second box, 50 pencils in the third box, and 250 pencils in the fourth box. What kind of sequence is this?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
