The results of a medical test show that of 39 people selected at random who were given the test, 36 tested negative and 3 tested positive. Determine the odds against
a person selected at random from these 39 people testing negative on the test.

The odds against  a person selected at random from these 39 people testing negative on the test is 92.31%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the group of 39 randomly selected people:

# of people tested negative: 36

36 / 39 = 92.31%

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
