Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were allergic to penicillin, Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate. What is the probability that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it?0.005

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option 3 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were allergic to penicillin, Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate.

we have to find  the probability that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it.

As, Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy.

Hence, (100-75)%=25% chance of not having the same allergy.

Also the test predicts given

Probability that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it is = 25\%* 98\%

  =0.25* 0.98=0.245

Hence, Option 3 is correct.

Answer 2
Answer: 0.245 because of him having the 75% chance of getting it and the test only being 98%

Solve the word problem below.Jane took out $135 from her checking account. If Jane now has a balance of $650 in her
account, how much did Jane have in the account before she took out any money?
Step 1: If x represents the variable in the word problem above, explain what the variable should
represent.
Step 2: Write an equation to model the situation.
Step 3: Solve the equation and write your answer in sentence form. Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

x = the amount of money Jane had before she took out any

x - 135 = 650

x = 785

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of money Jane had before she took out any

Set up the equation

x - 135 = 650

To solve the equation, we must add 135 on both sides to cancel the -135 on the left side of the equal sign.

x - 135 = 650

x = 785

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions of the quadratic equation, and whether the solutions are real or complex. Note: It is not necessary to find the roots; just determine the number and types of solutions.2x^2 + x - 1 = 0
4/3x^2 - 2x + 3/4 = 0

Answers

Discriminant is b²-4ac in a quadratic equation Ax²+ Bx+C=0.

If the value of discriminant is less than zero, then the equation has two complex solutions
If the value of the discriminant is equal to zero, then the equation has one solution
If the value of the discriminant is more than zero, then there will be two real solutions.

Just plug in your values and you'll get the right answers.
