Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone EPO (you should be able to simply compute the percenta

ge of all athletes that are not using EPO). For our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of EPO in an athlete’s bloodstream. The probability of a positive result, given the presence of EPO is .99. The probability of a negative result, when EPO is not present, is .90. What is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for EPO? 0.0297

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So there is a 3% probability that an athlete is using EPO .

The probability of showing positive on a test when you've used it is 0.99.

3% x 0.99= 2.97%

The probability of a positive result without EPO is 0.1

97% x 0,1 = 9,7 %

My guess is that 2.97% + 9,7% = 12.67% or 0.1267.

I don't know i may be wrong because you've put as an answer 0.0297 but if you like you may take only the first part of the answer.

here is a list of numbers. 7,12,16,20,27,40,56,64. a work out the difference between the two square numbers in the list. b work
poizon [28]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7,12,16,20,27,40,56,64

The square numbers are 16 = 4^2   and 64 = 8^2

The difference is 64 - 16 =48

The cube numbers are 27 = 3^3 and 64 = 4^3

64 - 27 =37

Suppose a term of a geometric sequence is a4 = 121.5 and the common ratio is 3. write the formula for this sequence in the form
9966 [12]
The rule of the <span>geometric sequence is a* r^{n-1}
a ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>the first term
r ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>common ratio

Given: the fourth term </span>(a4) <span>= 121.5   and the common ratio = 3  and   n = 4

∴</span><span> 121.5 = a* 3^{4-1}
∴ a = 121.5/3³ = 121.5/27 = 4.5

When we first learn arithmetic, we focus on working with whole numbers. Then, we extend our understanding to fractions and negat
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Well, I don't think I can remember EVERY skill I was taught through the years but in Kindergarten we used Number Sense so we could accurately... also there's estimation and of course PEMDAS. I've also learned how to round up so that the solution is at least around those numbers if the skill is to be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this'll help but go ahead and have it... just try and change it a bit so they don't get ya for plagirism

Consider the graphs of f (x) = StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValue + 1 and g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x cubed EndFraction. T
Westkost [7]

Answer:

We have the functions:

f(x) = IxI + 1

g(x) = 1/x^3.

Now, we know that the composite functions do not permute.

How we can prove this?

First, two composite functions are commutative if:

f(g(x)) = g(f(x))

Well, you could use brute force (just replace the values and see if the composite functions are commutative or not)

But i will use a more elegant way.

We can notice two things:

g(x) has a discontinuity at x = 0.

so:

f(g(x)) = I 1/x^3 I + 1

still has a discontinuty at x = 0, but:

g(f(x)) = 1/( IxI + 1)^3

here the denominator is IxI + 1, is never equal to zero.

So now we do not have a discontinuity.

Then the composite functions can not be commutative.

No because at least one segment length is not preserved.
