On discovering that her family had a 70% risk of heart attack, Erin took a treadmill test to check her own potential of having a heart attack. The doctors told her that the reliability of the stress test is 67%. What is the probability that Erin will not have a heart attack and the test predicts that she will?

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer-

The probability that Erin will not have a heart attack and the test predicts that she will is, 46.5% .

Hint- This a conditional probability problem where Bayes theorem should be applied.

Solution-

Applying Bayes theorem,

$P(No\ heart\ attack\ |\ Correctly\ tested)$

$=(P(Correctly\ tested\ |\ No\ heart\ attack)P(No\ heart\ attack))/(P(Correctly\ tested))$

$P(Correctly\ tested\ |\ No\ heart\ attack)=67\%=0.67$

$P(No\ heart\ attack)=1-P(heart\ attack)=1-0.7=0.3$

$P(Correctly\ tested)=[P(No\ heart\ attack)* P(Correctly\ tested)]+[P(Heart\ attack)* (Incorrectly\ tested)]$

$=[0.3* 0.67]+[0.7* 0.33]=0.432$

Putting the values,

$P(No\ heart\ attack\ |\ Correctly\ tested)=(0.67* 0.3)/(0.432) =0.465$

∴ There is a 46.5% chance that Erin will not have a heart attack even though the test predicts that she will.

Use completing the square to solve (x – 12)(x + 4) = 9 for x. x = –1 or 15 x = 1 or 7

Answers

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9
x² + 4x - 12x - 48 = 9
x² - 8x - 48 = 9 |add 48 to both sides
x² - 8x = 57
x² - 2x · 4 = 57 |add 4² to both sides
x² - 2x · 4 + 4² = 57 + 4² |use (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
(x - 4)² = 57 + 16
(x - 4)² = 73 ⇔ x - 4 = √73 or x - 4 = -√73 |add 4 to both sides

x = 4 + √73 or x = 4 - √73
