Complete Question

The data represents the results for a test for a certain disease. Assume one individual from the group is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone who tests positive, given that he or she did not have the disease.

P/N | Yes | No

+ve | 141 | 6

-ve | 11 | 142

Note that +ve and -ve l stands for testing positive and negative respectively.

Yes and No represents whether one has the disease or not respectively.

Solution

Let

- The event of testing positive be P.

- The event of testing negative be N.

- The event of having the disease be Yes.

- The event of not having the disease be No.

The probability of getting someone who tests positive, given that he or she did not have the disease = P(P|No)

The conditional probability of A given B is given mathematically as

P(A|B) = P(A n B) ÷ P(B)

Hence,

P(P|No) = P(P n No) ÷ P(No)

To solve these probabilities, we first define the probability of an event as the number of elements in that event divided by the Total number of elements in the sample space.

P(No) = n(No) ÷ n(Sample space)

n(No) = 6 + 142 = 148

n(Sample Space) = 141 + 11 + 6 + 142 = 300

P(No) = (148/300)

P(P n No) = n(P n No) ÷ n(Sample space)

n(P n No) = 6

n(Sample Space) = 300

P(P n No) = (6/300)

P(P|No) = P(P n No) ÷ P(No)

= (6/300) ÷ (148/300)

= (6/148)

= 0.0405405405 = 0.041 to 3 d.p.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
