In an article by researchers Meehl and Rosen (Psychological Bulletin, 1955), a diagnostic test was examined for detecting psychological adjustment in soldiers. A positive result indicates the solder is mal-adjusted whereas a negative result indicates well-adjusted. For soldiers known to be well-adjusted, the test gives a positive result 19% of the time. For soldiers known to be mal-adjusted, the test gives a positive result 55% of the time. The researchers believed that 5% of all soldiers are mal-adjusted. Suppose a soldier is selected at random and they test positive. What is the probability that soldier is mal-adjusted

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1322 = 13.22% probability that the soldier is mal-adjusted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test

Event B: Soldier is mal-adjusted.

Probability of a positive test:

55% of 5%(mal-adjusted).

19% of 100 - 5 = 95%(well adjusted). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.55*0.05 + 0.19*0.95 = 0.208[/tex]

Probability of a positive test and soldier being mal-adjusted.

55% of 5%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.55*0.05 = 0.0275[/tex]

What is the probability that the soldier is mal-adjusted?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0275}{0.208} = 0.1322[/tex]

0.1322 = 13.22% probability that the soldier is mal-adjusted.

All but 6 of the 25 students in my 6th grade math class play spring sports.
What percent of the students do not play spring sports?

Answers

Answer: 24% of students

Step-by-step explanation:

6 students divided by 25 total students = 0.24. You would multiply 0.24 by 100 or move the decimal two places to the right to get the percentage. In this case, the percentage would be 24%. 24% of students do not play spring sports.

16 bestie the reason for this is since she has 8 pounds of flour but only uses 1/2 of flour per batch you multiply 8 by 2 because it’s half if she can make a batch with only 1/2 a cup of flour and she has 8 pounds of flour then you multiply the 8 by 2 to get 16

Can someone please please answer this

Answers

Answer:

10°

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see the three angles shown form a straight line, meaning they add up to 180°. We can et up the equation:

m<AOC + m<COD + m<DOB = 180°

And we can substitute the values we have:

5a + 18 + 24 - a + 8a - 30 = 180

Next, we can combine all like terms:

12a + 12 = 180

12a = 168

a = 14

Now, to find each angle, we can substitute the value of a:

m<AOC = 5a + 18 = 5(14) + 18 = 88°

m<COD = 24 - a = 24 - 14 = 10°

m<DOB = 8a - 30 = 8(14) - 30 = 82°

The smallest angle is <COD with a measure of 10°.

morning. The dot plot and the box plot below summarize the results for
the two random samples. Which statement correctly describes the two
data sets below? *

Answers

Answer:

A. The range of both data sets is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = the maximum value - the minimum value

✔️For the Seventh-Grade Students' data set,

Maximum value = 45

Minimum Value = 5

Range = 45 - 5 = 40

✔️✔️For the Eight-Grade Students' data set,

Maximum value = 45 (the value at the whisker to your far right)

Minimum Value = 5 (value indivl ated by the whisker on your far left)

Range = 45 - 5 = 40

Therefore, the two data sets can be described as having the same range of 40.

Complete question :

According to the National Association of Realtors, it took an average of three weeks to sell a home in 2017. Suppose data for the sale of 39 randomly selected homes sold in Greene County, Ohio, in 2017 showed a sample mean of 3.6 weeks with a sample standard deviation of 2 weeks. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the number of weeks until a house sold in Greene County differed from the national average in 2017. Useα = 0.05for the level of significance, and state your conclusion

Answer:

H0 : μ = 3

H1 : μ ≠ 3

Test statistic = 1.897

Pvalue = 0.0653

fail to reject the Null ; Hence, we conclude that their is no significant to accept the claim that number I weeks taken to sell a house differs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 40

Sample mean, x = 3.6

Population mean, μ = 3

Standard deviation, s = 2

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 3

H1 : μ ≠ 3

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√n)

(3.6 - 3) / (2/√40)

0.6 / 0.3162277

Test statistic = 1.897

Using T test, we can obtain the Pvalue from the Test statistic value obtained :

df = n - 1; 40 - 1 = 39

Pvalue(1.897, 39) = 0.0653

Decison region :

If Pvalue ≤ α ; Reject the null, if otherwise fail to reject the Null.

α = 0.05

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the Null ; Hence, we conclude that their is no significant to accept the claim that number I weeks taken to sell a house differs.

The problem asks how many people read 4 or more books. So, we add up all the people that read 4 or more books shown on the graph, which is 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

3 people read 4 books, 3 people read 5 books, 2 people read 6 books, 2 people read 7 books, and 1 person read 8 books.

The LCL for a 90% confidence interval for p is 0.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

A lawn service owner is testing new weed killers. He discovered that a particular weed killer was effective 89% of time. Suppose that this estimate was based on a random sample of 60 applications.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.89, n = 60[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.89 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.89*0.11}{60}} = 0.8236[/tex]

Rounding to two decimal places, the LCL for a 90% confidence interval for p is 0.82.

Answer:

AC = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Pythagoras' theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Th.P ⇒ AC² = AB² + BC²

<=> AC² = (12/13)² + (5/13)²

<=> AC² = 144+25/169

<=> AC² = 169/169

<=> AC² = 1

⇒ AC = √1 = 1.
