Trisomy 18 (T18) is a rare genetic disorder that severely disrupts a baby's development prior to birth. Many die before birth an

d most die before their first birthday. T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S. A genetic test on the mother's blood can be done to test for T18 in her baby. The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384. The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97. The probability of a negative test result for a baby without T18 is 0.99. A mother's blood tests positive for T18. What is the probability that her baby has T18

Answer:

3.74% probability that her baby has T18

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test.

Event B: The baby having T18.

T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S.

This means that P(B) = \frac{1}{2500} = 0.0004

The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.97

The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384.

This means that P(A) = 0.010384

What is the probability that her baby has T18

P(B|A) = \frac{0.0004*0.97}{0.010384} = 0.0374

3.74% probability that her baby has T18

3.2.4 practice modeling slope-intercept Equation of a line
UNO [17]

Answer:

this is from apex

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Which option did you choose? Discuss with another student why you made the choice you made. (1 point)

Troposphere (above the surface)  because it looks simpler.

what do you know? the upper crust of the Earth is the layer extending 10 to 40 km beneath the surface. The surface temperature averages 15 degrees Celsius and increases 25 degrees Celsius with each kilometer of depth

what do you want to find out? The range of temperatures I would expect to encounter while traveling within the boundaries of the upper crust.

what answers do you expect to find? a range of temperatures (duh).

Writing an Equation

2. Define the variables you will use in your equation. (1 point)

Let one variable be the distance away from the surface and the other variable be the temperature.

D for distance and T for temperature.

The y-intercept is the starting position at Earth's surface. The coordinates of the y-intercept are (0, the temperature at Earth's surface).

3. What is the b-value of the y-intercept for your equation? (1 point)

15, I finally figured it out after 2 days lol.

The slope is the rate of change for temperature.

If the temperature increases (gets hotter) as the distance from the surface increases, then the slope is positive.

If the temperature decreases (gets colder) as the distance from the surface increases, then the slope is negative.

4. What is the slope of your equation? (1 point)

the slope of my equation is... positive!

5. Write an equation that models the relationship between your variables. (1 point)

umm, let's see... y= 25x+15 with x being each kilometer down from the surface temp. (15).

or if you just need the "equation" equation, then its y=mx+b

Interpreting the Equation

6. Identify and explain what each term represents in the temperature model.

a) The slope (1 point)

25

b) The y-intercept (1 point)

15

Graph the line

7. Identify three points on your line. (1 point)

(10,265) (11,290) (12,315)

8. Using the coordinates from question 7, calculate the slope of your line. Does it match the slope from your model? (2 points)

the slope of my line is 25, just like in my model. (wow magical)

Graph the Equation

9. On the graph below, plot the points and sketch your line. (4 points: 1 for each graphed point, 1 for the line)

see attachment.

Find the Temperature Range

10. Complete the sentence for your layer. (1 point)

The upper crust is the region that starts at Earth's surface and ends between 10 km and 40 km below the Earth's surface.

Use the temperature equation to find the temperature range for your layer.

range: between 265 degrees Celsius and 1015 degrees Celsius. (10km - 40 km)

11. What is the temperature at the end of your layer that is farthest from the surface? (1 point)

1015 degrees celsius.

Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string.She has already cut off 2 9/16 inches from the piece of string.How much
Roman55 [17]

Answer: she still has to cut off 19/16 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.

She has already cut off 2 9/16 inches from the piece of string. Converting 2 9/16 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 41/16 inches.

Therefore, the length of string that is left for her to cut off would be

15/4 - 41/16 = (60 - 41)/16

= 19/16 inches

A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches. It uses a scale of 1 inch for every 30 Miles. What
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The actual area 21600 miles²

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- A drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes reduced or

 enlarged by a certain amount called the scale

- Drawing scale is a ratio between the drawing length and the

 actual length

- To find the actual dimensions from the drawing dimensions use the

  scale drawing

*<em> Lets solve the problem</em>

- A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width

 of 6 inches

∴ The drawing dimensions are:

# length = 4 inches

# width = 6 inches

- The scale of the map is 1 inch foe every 30 miles

∴ The scale drawing is 1 : 30

- To find the actual area find the actual dimensions

∵ The scale drawing is 1 : 30

∵ The length = 4 inches and the width = 6 inches

- By using cross multiplication

∴  1        :        30

   4       :  actual length

   6       :  actual width

∴ Actual length = (4 × 30)/1 = 120

∴ Actual length = 120 miles

∴ Actual width = (6 × 30)/1 = 180

∴ Actual Width = 180 miles

∴ The actual dimensions are 120 miles and 180 miles

∵ The area of any rectangle = length × width

∴ The actual area = 120 × 180 = 21600

∴ The actual area 21600 miles²

HJ is twice JK. J is between H and K. If HJ= 4x and HK=78, find Jk.
ss7ja [257]
You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:

HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK

2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26
