2.5% of a population are infected with a certain disease. there is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely accurate. 90.4% of those who have the disease test positive. however 4.1% of those who do not have the disease also test positive (false positives). a person is randomly selected and tested for the disease. what is the probability that the person has the disease given that the test result is positive?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's name the events :

I : ''A person is infected''

NI : ''A person is not infected''

PT : ''The test is positive''

NT : ''The test is negative''

The conditional probability equation is :

Given two events A and B :

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

P(A/B) is the probability of the event A given that the event B happened

P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the event (A ∩ B)

(A ∩ B) is the event where A and B happened at the same time

In the exercise :

We are looking for P(I/PT) :

P(I/PT)=P(I∩ PT)/ P(PT)

P(PT/I)=P(PT∩ I)/P(I)

0.904=P(PT∩ I)/0.025

P(PT∩ I)=0.904 x 0.025

P(PT∩ I) = 0.0226

P(PT/NI)=0.041

P(PT/NI)=P(PT∩ NI)/P(NI)

0.041=P(PT∩ NI)/0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.041 x 0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.039975

P(PT) = P(PT∩ I)+P(PT∩ NI)

P(PT)= 0.0226 + 0.039975

P(PT) = 0.062575

P(I/PT) = P(PT∩I)/P(PT)

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth

step-by-step explanation:

this is false ^.^ lol
