A diagnostic test has a 95% probability of giving a positive result when given to a person who has a certain disease. It has a 10% probability of giving a (false) positive result when given to a person who doesn’t have the disease. It is estimated that 15% of the population suffers from this disease. (a) What is the probability that a test result is positive?
(b) A person recieves a positive test result. What is the probability that this person actually has the disease? (probability of a true positive)
(c) A person recieves a positive test result. What is the probability that this person doesn’t actually have the disease? (probability of a false negative)

a)0.2275 b)95/105=19/21 c)10/105= 2/21

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The case "The test result is positive" consists in 2 parts.

The 1st one is "The person has the desease (15%=0.15) and the test's result is positive (95%=0.95)

The probability of that is P(desease, positive) = 0.15*0.95=0.1425

The 2nd one is "The person has no the desease (100%-15%=85%=0.85). However the test result is positive (10%=0.1)

The probability of that is P(not desease, positive)=0.85*0.1=0.085

The total probability that test is positive is the sum of 1st and 2-nd parts of the case: P(pos) = 0.1425+0.085=0.2275

b) As it has been shown in a) The test result can be positive in case that the person is really has the desease (95%) and in case the person has no the desease (10%). This actually means that 95 persons from 105 having positive test result are really has the desease.

So the probability that the test result is positive and person has the desease is P (desease/positive)= 95/105

c) It's clearly seen that the sum of probabilities of b) and c) equal 1.

Both events make full group of events.

If the test result is positive the person can have the desease or can have not the desease. So ( no desease/positive)= 1-95/105=10/105

Answer from: Quest

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
