* The American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes. Suppose that a medical lab has developed
a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who
have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it. The
medical lab gives the test to a randomly selected person. What is the
probability that the diagnosis is correct? Explain each step.

The probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes.

Suppose that a medical lab has developed a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it.

Let the probability that people in the United States have diabetes = P(D) = 0.083.

So, the probability that people in the United States do not have diabetes = P(D') = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.083 = 0.917

Also, let A = event that the diagnostic test is accurate

So, the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who have the disease = P(A/D) = 0.98

And the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who do not have the disease = P(A/D') = 0.95

Now, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is given by;

    Probability = P(D) P(A/D) + P(D') P(A/D')

                      = (0.083 0.98) + (0.917 0.95)

                      = 0.08134 + 0.87115

                      = 0.95249

Hence, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
