Answer: Option C, 13

Explanation:

Two possible factors of -48 are -16 ,3 or -3, 16

And difference is greater number minus smaller number we will get as below

3-(-16) = 19 or 16-(-3) = 19

Case 1: two factors are -16 and 3

sum of factors = -16 +3 = -13

Now, we take absolute value of sum of factors |-13| = 13

Case 2: two factors are 16 and -3

sum of factors = 16 -3 = 13

Now, we take absolute value of sum of factors |13| = 13

so, C is the correct option

===>Factors of −48 with smaller absolute value negative:
smaller factor larger factor difference
-1 48 49
-2 24 26
-3 16 19

Add: -3 + 16 = 13
Therefore, the answer to this item is letter c.13.

A train station has installed a system for determining whether bags contain explosives. It has a 95% chance of correctly identif

astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) P(identified as containing explosives)=P(actually contains explosives and identified as containing explosives)+P(actually not contains explosives and identified as containing explosives)

=(10/(4*106))*0.95+(1-10/(4*106))*0.005 =0.005002363

hence probability that it actually contains explosives given identified as containing explosives)

=(10/(4*106))*0.95/0.005002363=0.000475

let probability of correctly identifying a bag without explosives be a

hence a =0.99999763 ~ 99.999763%

No as even if that becomes 1 ; proportion of true explosives will always be less than half of total explosives detected,
