1. Transplant operations have become routine. One common transplant operation is for kidneys. The most dangerous aspect of the procedure is the possibility that the body may reject the new organ. There are several new drugs available for such circumstances and the earlier the drug is administered, the higher the probability of averting rejection. The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported the development of a new urine test to detect early warning signs that the body is rejecting a transplanted kidney. However, like most other tests, the new test is not perfect. In fact, 20% of patients that experience kidney rejection and 9% of patients that do not experience kidney rejection receive a test result that proves to be incorrect. Physicians know that in about 30% of kidney transplants the body tries to reject the organ. If the new test has a positive result (indicating early warning of rejection), what is the probability that the body is attempting to reject the kidney?

Answers

Answer 1

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.7921 = 79.21% probability that the body is attempting to reject the kidney.

Conditional Probability

[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 problem:

Event A: Positive test.Event B: Body attempting to reject the kidney.

The percentages associated with a positive test are:

80% of 30%(experience kidney rejection).9% of 70%(do not experience kidney rejection).

Hence:

[tex]P(A) = 0.8(0.3) + 0.09(0.7) = 0.303[/tex]

The probability of both a positive test and the body attempting to reject the kidney is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.8(0.3) = 0.24[/tex]

Hence, the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.24}{0.303} = 0.7921[/tex]

0.7921 = 79.21% probability that the body is attempting to reject the kidney.

Answers

Ratios are simply used to compare two or more related quantities

(a) Comparing quantities

To compare quantities, we make use of ratios.

Hence, a way to compare two or more quantities is by using ratio

(b) Statement of equality between ratios

When two or more ratios are equal, the ratios are said to be equivalent ratios

Hence, the statement of equality between ratios is equivalent ratios

(c) Express (3) and (4) as ratios

There are 10 stars and 8 crosses.

So, the ratio is 10 : 8

There are 3 toys and 9 books.

So, the ratio is 3 : 9

(d) Compare balloons and party hats

There are 12 balloons and 18 party hats.

So, the ratio is 12 : 18

Reduce the ratio as follows:

12 : 18 = 2 : 3 ---- this is done by dividing 12 and 18 by 6

So, the comparison is:

There are 2 balloons for every 3 party hats

(e) Simplify (4)

In (4), we have:

Ratio = 3 : 9

Divide by 3

Ratio = 1 : 3

Hence, the simplified ratio is 1  3

(f) Express the currency ratio in its simplest form

The ratio is given as:

Ratio = 4 * 1 peso coin : Php80.00 coin

Evaluate the product

Ratio = 4 peso coin : Php80.00 coin

Divide both sides by 4

Ratio = 1 peso coin : Php20.00 coin

Hence, the simplest form of the ratio is 1 : 20

Which of these situations can be represented by this graph?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The following section is a statement from the rental agreement Tim signed when he rented his car this past weekend.

"Upon checkout, the fuel level of the vehicle will be determined by turning the vehicle on and visually inspecting the fuel gauge. The approximate fuel level will be recorded on the Check-Out sheet and verified with initials by the vehicle Renter. One copy of the Check-Out sheet will be given to the customer. Another copy will be kept with the on-site records of the vehicle.

"The rented vehicle must be returned with a minimum fuel level the same as that indicated on the Check-Out sheet. A vehicle returned with a fuel level less than the approximate level indicated on the Check-Out sheet will be completely refueled with on-site pumps. The price of the fuel used to refuel the vehicle will be added to the Renter's total charge at a cost of $4.50 per gallon plus a $5.00 refueling charge."

Tim is running extremely late and has just 5 minutes to return his rental car to the agency. The fuel tank in the car is half empty. It was full when he picked it up. (The car has a 12-gallon fuel tank.) He doesn't think he can get gas and get to the agency to return the car in time. Returning the car a day late will result in an extra daily rental charge of $32.00 and refueling the car on his own will cost $2.59 per gallon at the local gas station. Which of the following statements is true?
a.
It would be cheaper to refuel the car and return it a day late.
b.
It would be cheaper to return the car on time and pay the refueling costs.
c.
It would cost about the same to return the car on time without gas or one day late with gas.
d.
Tim is not responsible for refueling the car when he returns it.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the y-component is the same, -2, in these two points.  That means y does not change as x changes, and therefore we conclude that the slope of the line connecting the two points is m = rise / run = 0.

                                      -2 - (-2)

Alternatively, use m = -------------- = 0

Answers

Answer: 1.25 times as far

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires you to find something called the unit rate.

Getting the unit rate for Car A is very simple, and can be found to be 25mi/gal.

To find the unit rate for Car B, simply look at the second row.  Because the car can go 60 miles on 3 gallons of gas, divide both these numbers by 3 to get 20mi/gal.

Then, simply multiply both of these numbers by 11 to get 25 * 11 = 275, and 20 * 11 = 220.

Then, by doing 275/220, you get your answer: 1.25.

Answer:

Domain: All real numbers

Range: f(x) ≥ - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function in vertex form, f(x) = ½(x + 4)² - 11:

The vertex, (h, k) is (-4, -11).

Range: f(x) ≥ -11.  

The parabola opens upward (where a = ½, which is greater than 0), and k = -11 is the minimum value for f(x).  Hence, the range of the given function must be at least -11, or f(x) ≥ -11.  

Domain: all real numbers

There is no restriction for the value of x. Therefore, the domain of the given function is all real numbers.

Determine whether each situation represents a discrete or continuous function.
a. The function y = 30.48x converts length from x feet to y centimeters. [ A. discrete , B. continuous ]
b. The function y = 3x + 2 represents the amount of water y in gallons in a tank after x minutes.
[ A. discrete ,B. continuous ]

Answers

Answer:

Both of those are continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete function is only defined for a specified countable set of x, neither of the two provided fit that description. On the other hand, both are defined for arbitrary positive real numbers.

The value of both functions is defined for a continuous interval of x thus both will be continuous.

What is a function?

A certain kind of relationship called a function binds inputs to essentially one output.

The nature of the relationship defines the function for example y = sinx and y = x +6 like that.

Given the first function →

y = 30.48x where x is feet and y is a centimeter of conversion.

Now, it is known that for every foot interval there will be a centimeter that exists therefore they will be defined for all continuous intervals of x so it will be continuous.

The second function →

y = 3x + 2 where x is minutes and y is the number of gallons in a tank.

Now since for every minute of the interval, there will be a certain amount of gallons in the tank so it will be also continuous.

Hence "The value of both functions is defined for a continuous interval of x thus both will be continuous".

Since the perimeter of the rectangle is 80, we can set up the perimeter formula:

80=2L+2W=2(3x+3)+2(2x+2)=6x+6+4x+4=10x+10

10x=70

x=7

AB=2x+2=2(7)+2=14+2=16

Answer:

AB= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2+3x+3=40

Add like terms: 2x+3x= 5x and 2+3=5

New equation: 5x+5=40

Solve: 40-5= 35

35 divided by 5= 7

Now we know that x is equal to 7.

2(7)+2= 16

Side DC equals 16.

Side AB has the same length as side DC since it's a rectangle.

Side AB equals 16.

Let's check: 16+16=32 (side DC and side AB)

80-32=483(7)+3= 24

24 must be the length of the other sides.

24+24= 48

So, when you add all the sides together...

16+16+24+24= 80

You get 80, the perimeter!
