A few people who have a particular disease take part in a medical trial that tests the effect of a medicine on the disease. Half

the people are given medicine and the other half are given sugar pills, which have no effect on the disease. The medicine has a 60% chance of curing someone, but people who do not get the medicine still have a 10% chance of getting well. The probability that a person gets well is ___%, and the probability that the person was cured because of the medicine is ___%.

Answer:

1.The probability that a person gets well is 70%,

2.the probability that the person was cured because of the medicine is 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

chance of curing by medicine=60%

chance of curing without medicine=10%

total chance of curing=60%+10%=70%

chance of person being cured by medicine=60%

qwelly [4]

Answer:

All points between z = 0 and z = 7 along the z-azis in R3 x-y-z plane

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality 1 \le z  \le7 represents all sets of points on the z-axis in the R3 plane that lies bewteen z = 0 and z= 7.

It is represents a line segment joining two point z= 0 and z=7 along z- axis in the R3 plane, while x=0 and y=0 on the x-y plane.

Carbon-141414 is an element which loses exactly half of its mass every 573057305730 years. The mass of a sample of carbon-141414
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The function that models the mass of the carbon-14 sample remaining t years since the initial measurement is

M(t) = 741 e⁻⁰•⁰⁰⁰¹²¹ᵗ

with M(t) in grams and t in years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive reactions always follow a first order reaction dynamic

Let the initial concentration of Carbon-14 be M₀ and the concentration at any time be M

(dM/dt) = -kM (Minus sign because it's a rate of reduction)

(dM/dt) = -kM

(dM/M) = -kdt

 ∫ (dM/M) = -k ∫ dt 

Solving the two sides as definite integrals by integrating the left hand side from M₀ to M and the Right hand side from 0 to t.

We obtain

In (M/M₀) = -kt

(M/M₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

M(t) = M₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

Although, we can obtain k from the information on half life.

For a first order reaction, the rate constant (k) and the half life (T) are related thus

T = (In2)/k

The half life is the time taken for the radioactive substance to decay to hAlf of its original amount, and according to the question, T = 5730 years

k = (In 2)/5730 = 0.000120968 /year. = 0.000121 /year

M(t) = M₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

k = 0.000121 /year, M₀ = 741 grams

The equation then becomes

M(t) = 741 e⁻⁰•⁰⁰⁰¹²¹ᵗ

with M(t) in grams and t in years.

Hope this Helps!!!

A company is in the business of finding addresses of long-lost friends. The company claims to have a 70% success rate. Suppose t
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

c) For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.7)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x <- seq(0,9,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,9,0.7)

> plot(x,y,main="Histogram",type = "h")

And we can see on the figure attached the solution.

We see that the higher probabilities are from 4 to 9

Part b

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

The variance is given by:

Var (X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 9*0.7*(1-0.7)= 1.89

And the standard deviation is:

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

Part c

First we can find the probability that at least two addresses will be found in the list of 9 that we have like this:

P(X \geq 2)

We can use the complement rule and we have:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

We find the indicidual probabilities:

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.7)^0 (1-0.7)^{9-0}=0.00001968

P(X=1)=(9C1)(0.7)^1 (1-0.7)^{9-1}=0.000413

P(X \geq 2) = 1-[0.00001968+0.000413]=0.9996

If we use the case of n=8 and we find P(X\leq 2), we got:

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9987

For the case n= 7

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9962

For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

You earn $1,166 gross taxable income every week, and have claimed no exemptions. Assuming that you have no other sources of inco
liberstina [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross taxable Income = $ 1,166

Rate of Income tax = 30%

Amount of income tax = 30 % of 1,166

                                     = \frac{30*1166}{100}

                                     =$339.6

                                      ≅$340
