Each of 500 soldiers in an army company independently has a certain disease with probability 1/103. this disease will show up in

a blood test, and to facilitate matters, blood samples from all 500 soldiers are pooled and tested. (a) what is the (approximate) probability that the blood test will be positive (that is, at least one person has the disease)

<span>The chance of the individual has the disease is 1/103, which means there is 102/103 chance to be healthy. 
The chance of "at </span><span>least one person has the disease" is the opposite of the chance of  "everyone healthy".

The chance that all 500 soldiers healthy would be: (102/ 103)^500= </span><span>0.00761155742
</span><span>
The chance of </span>at least one person has the disease would be: 1- (102^500/ 103^500)= <span>0.99238844257 = 99.24%</span>

The electric resistance pyrometer operates under the principle that an increase in temperature will cause an increase in the res
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

operates om the principle of temperature-induced resistance.

Explanation:

In physical quantities, the resistance of an electrical conductor can be correlated directly with the temperature of the material. The property for the change in the resistance with temperature is called the temperature coefficient of resistance. Mathematically, the resistance of a material is given as follows:

R = R_{ref} [ 1 + \alpha (T - T_{ref})]

where R = conductor resistance at the temperature T.

Rreff = the conductor resistance at the reference temperature,

\alpha = temperature coefficient of resistance

T = Conductor temperature

Treff = reference temperature of the material.

From the equation, it can be seen that a positive coefficient for a material means an increase in the resistance of the material.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.

Explanation:

Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.

In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

maintain homeostasis

Explanation:

Lizards are poikilothermic organisms, it means that their body temperature varies over the course of the day. There are poikilothermic organisms including lizards that bask in the sun during the morning and evening hours, and thus they can increase the body temperature
