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 has 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 not allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it?

Let the events be defined as follows:
A=Nathan suffers from an allergy
~A=Nathan does not suffer from an allergy
T=Nathan receives a positive test result
~T=Nathan does not receive a positive test result

According to the provided data,
P(A)=0.75 [ probability indicating that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98 [ probability of obtaining a positive test result if Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]

We aim to calculate the probability that Nathan is both allergic and tests positive
P(T n A)

Using the definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A)
By substituting the known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
We then solve for P(T n A)
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735

Hope this assists you!!

As a part-time contractor, you want to test a new cement mixture for a project. You need 2 34 wheelbarrows of sand to make 8 whe
zzz [4035]

Answer: He will require 10.07 cubic feet of sand for the wheelbarrows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

the ratio of wheelbarrows filled with sand to those filled with concrete is expressed as

2\dfrac{3}{4}:8\\\\=\dfrac{11}{4}:8\\\\=11:32

The volume of concrete in wheelbarrows is 248 cubic feet.

Then the volume of sand in wheelbarrows can be found as

(\dfrac{11}{32})^3=\dfrac{x}{248}\\\\\dfrac{1331\times 248}{32^3}=x\\\\10.07=x

Therefore, he will require 10.07 cubic feet of sand for the wheelbarrows.

The volume, V, of a rectangular prism is determined using the formula V=lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the
babunello [3666]

Answer:

Width of the rectangular prism

To determine the volume of the rectangular prism, we utilize the following formula:

v = lwh

Where:

v = volume

l = length

w = width

h = height

Now,

The variables provided in the problem include:

v = 138.24 cubic inches

h =  9.6 inches

l = 3.2 inches

w = ?

By substituting these values into the volume formula, we have:

138.24 = 3.2 * w * 9.6

138.24 = 30.72 * w

w = 138.24/30.72

w = 4.5

⇒ Therefore, the width of the rectangular prism measures 4.5 inches.

On the average, 1 1/3 bushels of seed are needed to plant 1 acre of wheat. How many bushels of seed would be required to plant 3
lawyer [4039]

Answer: You would need 40 bushels of seed to plant 30 acres of wheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

<pTypically, 1 1/3 bushels of seed are necessary to cultivate 1 acre of wheat. In improper fraction form, 1 1/3 bushels becomes 4/3 bushels.

Let x denote the bushels of seed required for 30 acres. Thus, we have

4/3 bushels = 1 acre

x = 30 acres

Cross multiplying gives us

x × 1 = 4/3 × 30

x = 40 bushels of seed

I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!! PLEASE HELP!!! The figure below shows the movement of a pedestrian from point B to point E. Using the
Inessa [3926]

A) The speed of pedestrian BC is 5 km/h

    The speed of pedestrian CD is 0 km/h

    The speed of pedestrian DE is 5 km/h

B) He reached E since the stop after 6 hours

C) The formula for section BC is d(t) = 40 - 5t

    The formula for section CD is d(t) = 20

    The formula for section DE is d(t) = 50 - 5t

Step-by-step breakdown:

A)

In the time-distance graph, speed represents the change in distance with respect to time

this means speed = Δd/Δt ⇒ (slope of the line)

For line BC:

1. Δd = 40 - 20 = 20 km

2. Δt = 4 - 0 = 4 hours

3. The speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h

The speed of pedestrian BC stands at 5 km/h

For line CD:

1. Δd = 20 - 20 = 0 km

2. Δt = 6 - 4 = 2 hours

3. The speed = 0 ÷ 2 = 0 km/h

The speed of pedestrian CD is 0 km/h

For line DE:

1. Δd = 20 - 0 = 20 km

2. Δt = 10 - 6 = 4 hours

3. The speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h

The speed for pedestrian DE is 5 km/h

B)

∵ He stopped at t = 4 hours

∵ He reached point E at t = 10 hours

∵ 10 - 4 = 6 hours

He arrived at E since the stop took 6 hours

C)

<pthe line="" equations="" are="" characterized="" by:=""><pthe general="" form="" of="" a="" line="" equation="" is="" f="" mx="" c="" where="" m="" represents=""><pthe slope="" and="" c="" is="" the="" y-intercept="" value="" of="" y="" when="" x="" equals="">

1. f(x) is referenced as d(t)

2. m is the speed

3. x corresponds to t

4. You can calculate c by substituting any coordinates of a point along the line into the formula

<pline bc="">

Line BC has a negative slope because d decreases as t increases

∵ m = -5 and c = 40

Thus, d(t) = 40 - 5t

The equation for section BC is d(t) = 40 - 5t

Line CD

Line CD is a horizontal line (which follows the form of any horizontal line represented as y = c)

Thus, m = 0 and c = 20

Therefore, d(t) = 20

The equation for section CD is d(t) = 20

Line DE

Line DE features a negative slope as d decreases along with an increase in t

∵ m = -5

Thus, d(t) = -5t + c

The value of c can be determined by substituting point D's coordinates into the equation

∵ D's coordinates are (6, 20)

Thus, 20 = -5(6) + c

So, 20 = -30 + c

Adding 30 to both sides yields

∴ c = 50

Thus, d(t) = 50 - 5t

The equation for section DE is d(t) = 50 - 5t
