Three students, Matthew, Thompson and Amos shared #15000 in the ratio of 5:2:x respectively. If Matthew's share is 7500, calculate the value of x. ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, that is, 1/2.

Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings is given by:

[tex]\frac{5}{5 + 2 + x} = \frac{5}{7 + x}[/tex]

Since he earned 1/2 of the total:

We have that 5/(7+x) = 1/2. So we use this to find x.

[tex]\frac{5}{7 + x} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]7 + x = 10[/tex]

[tex]x = 10 - 7[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

The value of x is 3.

We have given that,

Miguel is staining a wooden box.

To determine how much stain he needs, he'll need to find the surface area of the box.

We have to determine statement is true or false.

What is the surface area of the box?

To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.

Therefore he needs to find the surface area of the box

A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.6%. If the false negative rate is 8% and the false positive rate is 3%, compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

Answers

Answer:

0.1562 = 15.62% probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

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: Tests positive

Event B: Has the disease.

Probability of a positive test:

100 - 8 = 92% of 0.6%(person has the disease).

3% of 100 - 0.6% = 99.40%(person does not have the disease). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.92*0.006 + 0.03*0.994 = 0.03534[/tex]

Probability of testing positive and having the disease:

92% of 0.6%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.92*0.006 = 0.00552[/tex]

Probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.00552}{0.03534} = 0.1562[/tex]

0.1562 = 15.62% probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

A bag contains 9 red, 7 blue, and 4 yellow marbles. If a marble is chosen at random from the bag, what is the probability that it is NOT yellow? (in fraction form) A) 1 5 B) 1 3 C) 3 5 Eliminate D) 4 5

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

if you add all the numbers together you get a total of 20. if you add the non yellow marbles together you get 16. so the fraction is 16/20. then you shorten the fractions by dividing the numbers. both are divisible by 4, so the final answer is 4/5.

Answer:

First statement: 10 road workers take 5 days to complete a work, working 2 hours a day.

Let us calculate how many days 2 workers will need, if they were to work at the same pace (i.e. each working 2 hours a day). The workforce is now decreased to 2 divided by 10 = 1/5 (i.e. one-fifth).

Therefore proportionately, the time will increase to 5 days divided by 1/5, (i.e. 5 / (1/5) = 25 days.

We now know that 2 workers will need 25 days to finish the work, if they work for 2 hors a day.

Now the question is what will happen if the two people work 5 hours per day, instead of 2 hours per day?

The labor they put in has increased to 5 divided by 2 = 2.5 (i.e. 2 and half times).

Consequently, the time needed to finish the work will decrease to 25 divided by 2.5 (i.e. ( 25 / 2.5 ) = 10. days.

The answer : 10 Days.
