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.

melomori [17]

Answer:

d.There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the quality and price of a car are associated. There were ten cars used in the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two variables X₁: quality score of a car and X₂: the price of a car.

It was analyzed id there is an association between the quality and the price.

The null hypothesis of a Spearman's rank correlation test is:

H₀: There is no association between the quality and the price of cars.

The researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis which means that there is no association between the variables of interest.

The sample size is listed in the output n= 10 consumer reports.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 25 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get
Rom4ik [11]

Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish

1/ 10 of 40

= ( 1/10) × 40

= 4 miles

The builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days. Tax on building mate
erastova [34]

Answer:

$1340.49

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image

Subtotal Cost of Purchased Items

= (20  \times 16.69)+(2 \times 20.78)+(2  \times 15.58)+(6  \times 21.38)\\+(118  \times 6.60)+(500  \times 0.22)+(10  \times 8.44)+(1  \times 150)\\\\=\$1658

Since the builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days.

Discount = 23% of $1658 = 0.23 X 1658 =$381.34

Total (Less Discount) = 1658-381.34 = $1276.66

Tax on building materials is 5%.

Therefore:

Tax = 5% of $1276.66=0.05 X 1276.66

Tax=$63.83

Therefore, the total bill:

=$1276.66+63.83

Grand Total =$1340.49

At the beginning of the school year, Jamie had $500 in her savings account. She wants to have at least $200 left in the account
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Jamie should have reversed the inequality when using the division property of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie wrote

500 − 30x ≥ 200

Subtract 500 from both sides

500-500-30x ≥ 200-500

-30x ≥ -300

Divide both sides by -30

x ≥ 10

Instead of reversing the inequality when using the division property of inequality

500 − 30x ≥ 200

Subtract 500 from both sides

500-500-30x ≥ 200-500

-30x ≥ -300

Divide both sides by -30

x <or= 10
