Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all

ergic to penicillin, Nathan had a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate. What is the probability that Nathan is allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it?

Answer:

0.735

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event of being allergic to penicillin and T represent the event where the test conclusively predicts the allergy.

<pBased on the question,

There's a 75% likelihood of having the allergy.

⇒ Probability of being allergic to penicillin, P(A) = 75 % = 0.75,

The test also shows a 98% accuracy.

⇒ The probability that the test indicates the allergy, P(B) = 98% = 0.98

Given that A and T are independent events,

Hence, the probability of Nathan being allergic to penicillin and the prediction being accurate

= P(A) × P(T)

= 0.75 × 0.98

= 0.735

Nathan has a 73.5% probability of being allergic to penicillin, as indicated by the test.

Calculating: 75% * 98% = 73.5%

.75 *.98 =.735

According to TMUSS Quarterly (Totally Made-Up Sports Statistics) April 2017, the probability that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will
tester [12383]

Answer: 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A signifies the event of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers scoring a touchdown on their initial drive while B signifies the occurrence of their defense achieving 3 or more sacks during the game.

Given: P(A)=0.14     P(B) = 0.31     P(A or B)=0.14

Formula: P(A and B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

Now, we calculate the probability of both scoring a touchdown on the initial drive and achieving 3 or more sacks in the game as follows:-

P(A and B)= 0.14 + 0.31 - 0.14=0.31

Therefore, the required probability is: 0.31

zzz [12365]
Hello!

Before you tackle any problems, it's essential to designate which scenario represents event A and which corresponds to event B. I usually follow the order they are presented in the question, so:

A = S<span>tudent participates in student council
B = S</span><span>tudent participates in after school sports

Any problem that mentions "given" in the question will need to refer to </span>P(A | B)<span> = P(</span>A ∩ B)/P(B). P(A | B) essentially represents the "probability of event A, given that event B has occurred." Meanwhile, P(A ∩ B) denotes the likelihood of both A and B taking place, while P(B) signifies just the probability of event B happening. All required information has been provided, so:

P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 11% / 62%
P(A | B) = 0.11 / 0.62
P(A | B) = 0.18

Thus, there is approximately an 18% probability that <span>a student is involved in student council, given participation in after school sports.

I hope this was helpful!:-)</span>

A fabric store sells two types of ribbon. One customer buys 3 rolls of the lace ribbon and 2 rolls of the satin ribbon and has a
tester [12383]
Let L represent the yards in a roll of lace ribbon and S represent the yards in a roll of satin ribbon. We can formulate two equations: 3L + 2S = 120 yards (Equation 1) and 2L + 4S = 160 yards (Equation 2). If we multiply Equation 1 by 2 and subtract Equation 2, we have: 6L + 4S = 240 yards (Equation 1) and 2L + 4S = 160 yards (Equation 2). Thus, 4L equals 80 yards, leading to L equating to 20 yards. For Equation 1, substituting gives 3(20 yards) + 2S = 120 yards, leading to 2S equal to 60 yards, so S equals 30 yards. Therefore, a roll of lace ribbon contains 20 yards, while a roll of satin ribbon has 30 yards.

Svet_ta [12734]
Answer: 1.7 feet. Step-by-step explanation: We assume the goal is to find 'A', and that individuals are positioned shoulder-to-shoulder. Therefore, (327,495 miles)/(10^9 persons) equals (3.27495 × 10^5 miles)/(10^9 persons) multiplied by (5280 ft/miles), leading to = 1.7291736 × 10^9 ft/(10^9 persons), resulting in 1.7292736 ft/person, approximately 1.7 ft/person.
