In the general population, one woman in eight will develop breast
cancer. Research has shown that 1 woman in 600 carries a mutation of
the BRCA gene. Eight out of 10 women with this mutation develop
breast cancer.
a) Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will develop
breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene. b) Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will carry the mutation of the BRCA gene and will develop and will develop breast cancer? c) are the events of carrying this mutation and developing Brest cancer independent or dependent?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 8/10

b) [tex]0.001 \overline{33}[/tex]

c) Independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The proportion of women than carries a mutation of the BRCA gene, P(A) = 1/600

The proportion of women in which the mutation develops breast cancer, P(B) = 8/10

a) The probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene is given as follows;

1 × P(B) = 1 × 8/10 = 8/10

b) The probability, P that a randomly selected woman woman will carry the mutation of the BRCA gene and will develop breast cancer is given as follows;

P(A) × P(B) = 1/600×8/10 = 1/750 = [tex]0.001 \overline{33}[/tex]

c) The events are dependent

Given that P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B), the events of carrying the mutation and developing Breast cancer are independent events.

Answers

Answer:

40.99 is 10 times more than 4.099

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the values :

4.099 and 40.99

4.099 is 110 of 40.99 : 110 * 40.99 = 4508.9 (false)

4.099 is 1100 of 40.99 : 1100 * 40.99 = 45089 (false)

40.99 is 10 times more than 4.099 : (10 * 4.099) = 40.99 (true)

40.99 is 100 times more than 4.099 : (100 * 4.099) = 409.9 ( false)

4.099 is 10 times more than 40.99 : (10 * 40.99) = 409.9 (false)

You rode 180 miles at 60 miles per hour. Let t be the time it took. Can t be 4 hours?

Answers

Answer:

t = 3 hours, therefore it cannot be 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the miles traveled by the rate you traveled. This will find the time it took to travel.

180/60 = 3

You drove 3 hours to travel 180 miles, therefore t cannot equal 4.

which is the correct value of c for x^2-14x+c=(x-7)^2

Answers

Answer:

c = 3.5 - x

Step-by-step explanati

x^2 - 14x + c = (x - 7)^2

x^2 - 14x + c = x^2 - 7^2

x^2 - 14x + c - x^2 = x^2 - 49 - x^2

-14x + c = 49

-14x / -14 + c = 49 / -14

x + c = 3.5

x - x + c = 3.5 - x

c = 3.5 - x

5x - 2y = 26

y + 4 = x

Answers

5x -2y = 26. We know that x = y + 4. Substitute the value of x in and you get 5y + 20 - 2y = 26 If yous simplify this you get 3y + 20 = 26
Take away 20 from both sides and you end up with 3y = 6
Now did use both sides by 3

You end up with y = 2
Now to find x you just simplify the value of y into x = y + 4. You end up with x = 2 + 4. Now you know that y = 2 and. X = 6

10. Calculate the speed of waves in a puddle that are .15 apart and made by tapping the water
surface twice each second.

Answers

Since the waves are 0.15 apart and made by tapping the water surface twice each second the speed of waves in the puddle is 0.6 m/s

To answer the question, we need to know what a wave is

What is a wave?

A wave is a disturbance in space which carries energy from one point to another

What is the speed of a wave?

The speed of a wave v = fλ where

f = frequency and λ = wavelength

Wavelength of wave

Since the puddles are 0.15 m are and we know that this is the distance from crest to crest.

Also, the distance from crest to crest is λ/2

So, λ/2 = 0.15

λ = 2 × 0.15 m

= 0.3 m

Frequency of wave

Also, since the tapping by the water surface is done twice each second, the frequency, f = 2 times/s = 2 Hz

Speed of waves in puddle

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, for speed, we have

v = fλ

v =  2 Hz × 0.3 m

v = 0.6 m/s

So, the speed of waves in the puddle is 0.6 m/s

A boat cost $16,500 and decreases in value by 13% per year how much will the boat be worth after eight years?

Answers

Answer:

$5,415.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the boat = $16,500

Decrease in value per year = 13%

Worth of the boat in 8 years = ?

Remaining value = 100% - 13%

= 87%

Worth of the boat in 8 years = cost of the boat × remaining value^8

= $16,500 × 87%^8

= $16,500 × 87/100^8

= $16,500 × 0.87^8

= $16,500 × 0.3282116715437121

= $5,415.49

The worth of the boat after 8 years = $5,415.49

What is the value of x?​

Answers

Answer:

31 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

149 + 149 = 298

360 - 298 = 62

62 / 2 =31

Answer:

61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

you know that there is a strait line which is equal to 180. So if you subtract 149 from 180 you get 31 which is the angle included with x. therefore you subtract your total number, which is 92 by 31 and you get 61 degrees

to find the slope of the two points

Answers

Answer:

Slope is :-

[tex] \boxed{\bf \; m \; = - \cfrac{7}{5}} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points :-

[tex] \sf \implies(-5,3) , (0,−4)[/tex]

To Find :-

The slope of Two points that is given.

Solution :-

[tex]\sf \implies(-5,3) , (0,−4)[/tex]

As we know that the formula of Slope is :-

[tex]\sf \implies \boxed{\sf Slope = \cfrac {y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]

Now, Put the values of x and y :-

Where,

[tex]{ \sf \: {y_2} = - 4}[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: x_2 = 0[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: y_1 = 3[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: x_1 = - 5[/tex]

Put the values on their respective place :-

[tex]\sf \implies \: Slope = \cfrac{ - 4 - 3}{0 - ( - 5)} [/tex]

Simplify this Fraction :-

Add -4 and -3 which is on the numerator as we know that "-" and "-" equals to "+":-

[tex]\sf \implies \: Slope = \cfrac{ - 7}{0 - ( - 5)} [/tex]

Now Add 0-(-5) on the denominator as we know that "-" and "-" equals to "+":-

[tex]\sf \implies \: Slope = \: \cfrac{ - 7}{ 5} [/tex]

Which can be rewritten as,

[tex]\sf \implies \: m = \: - \cfrac{7}{5} [/tex]

This fraction can't be cancelled. Hence, the slope of the two points is:-

[tex]\sf \implies \boxed{\sf m = \: - \cfrac{7}{5}} [/tex]

Note :- Slope can also be denoted as [tex] m [/tex].

A 3-inch by 5-inch photo is enlarged proportionally such that its smaller dimension is now 1 foot 3 inches. How many inches are in the larger dimension?

Answers

Answer:

There are 25 inches in the larger dimension.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ The small dimension after enlargement is 1 foot and 3 inches

→ Change it to inches only

∴ The small dimension = 1(12) + 3 = 12 + 3

The small dimension = 15 inches after enlarged

∵ The small dimension of the photo before enlarged = 3 inches

→ Divide its length after enlarged by its length before enlarged to

   find the scale of the enlargement

∵ 15 ÷ 3 = 5

The scale of enlarged is 5

→ To find the larger dimension after enlarged multiply its length

   before enlarged by 5

∵ The larger dimension before enlarged = 5 inches

∴ The larger dimension after enlarged = 5 × 5

The larger dimension after enlarged = 25 inches

There are 25 inches in the larger dimension.

 m∠1 + m∠2 = m ∠4 , under the exterior angle property of a triangle which says that sum of the interior opposite angles of an exterior angle will be equal to the measure of the exterior angle .

To prove that m∠3 + m ∠1 +  m∠2 = 180° , let us use the angle sum property .

= Angle sum property = Sum of the three interior angles in a triangle will be equal to 180° .

= Since  ∠1 ,  ∠2 and  ∠3 are the interior angles of this triangle , their sum will be equal to 180° .

Hence proved that m∠1 +  m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

∴ m∠1 +  m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° under the angle sum property of a triangle .
