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

Apiling for a high-rise building is pushed by two bulldozers at exactly the same time. one bulldozer exerts a force of 1250 pounds in a westerly direction. the other bulldozer pushes the piling with a force of 2650 pounds in a northerly direction. what is the direction of the resulting force upon the piling, to the nearest degree? a. 65 n of w b. 25 n of w c. 45 n of w d. 35 n of w

Solve: 25 points find the fifth term of an increasing geometric progression if the first term is equal to 7−3 √5 and each term (starting with the second) is equal to the difference of the term following it and the term preceding it.
