The test to detect the presence of a certain protein is 98% accurate for corn plants that have the protein and 97% accurate for corn plants that do not have the protein.
If 3.5% of the corn plants in a given population actually have the protein, the probability that a randomly chosen plant is detected incorrectly is

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
