Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to make a box like this:

║ ---------- ║------------ ║     label one side percent and the other amount

║   x%     ║    96 kg  ║

║ _    _   _║_____ _║   Now if the patient originally weighed 102 kg which

║100%    ║    120 kg ║    is 100% place the numbers in the bottom box.

║ _  _  _  ║ _   _   _ ║     and if the patient currently weighs 96 kg then let

 Percent     Amount       percentage of the weight lost be x. Now cross multiply.  You should get 100*96=120*x. Simplify that to get 9600=120x, now divide by 120 on both sides and you get 80 so x= 80. But the problem isn't done yet. Now you have to subtract 80% from 100% to find the weight lost, because 80% is the percentage of the current weight. after you have subtracted you get 20

20% of the original weight was lost.

Answer:

                           Drug User   Not a drug user    Totals

Test positive       475                     475                  950

Test negative      25                      9025               9050

Totals                   500                   9500               10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

                           Drug User   Not a drug user    Totals

Test positive       475                     475                  950

Test negative      25                      9025               9050

Totals                   500                   9500               10,000

As we know that 5% of all people are drug users

Total drug users=5% of 10,000=0.05(10,000)=500

Total non drug users= Total people - drug users= 10,000-500=9500

or total non drug users=95% of 10,000=0.95(10,000)=9500

Test is correct for 95% of times means that 95% times drug users test results is positive and non drug users test results is negative.

Test positive for drug user= 95% of 500=0.95(500)=475

Test negative for non drug user= 95% of 500 = 0.95(9500)=9025

Test is correct for 95% of times and it means that 5% of times test is not correct. It means that 5% of times drug users test results is negative and non drug users test results is positive.

Test negative for drug user= 5% of 500=0.05(500)=25

Test positive for non drug user= 5% of 9500 = 0.05(9500)=475

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Possible value of k is √2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The expression, 2·(√k - 1) + √8 to which may be added -6·√2 to obtain a rational number, we therefore have;

2·(√k - 1) + √8 - 6·√2 = R

Therefore, simplifying gives;

2·√k - 2 + 2·√2  - 6·√2 =  2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 + 2= R + 2 = R

2·√k - 2+ 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k - 2+ 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k + 0 - 4·√2 = 2·√k - 4·√2 = 2·(√k - 2·√2) = R

(√k - 2·√2) = R/2 = R

Therefore, √2 is a factor of √k such that √k - 2·√2 = R

Which gives k = x·√2, where x = a rational number

When x = 1, k = √2.

Therefore, a possible value of k is √2
