The president of a large company with \(10,000\) employees is considering mandatory cocaine testing for every employee. The test that would be used is \(90 \%\) accurate, meaning that it will detect \(90 \%\) of the cocaine users who are tested, and that \(90 \%\) of the nonusers will test negative. This also means that the test gives \(10 \%\) false positive. Suppose that \(1 \%\) of the employees actually use cocaine. Find the probability that someone who tests positive for cocaine use is, indeed, a user.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I modeled California's population growth with a geometric sequence, so my model is an exponential function whose domain is the set of natural numbers.
Use the formula for \(_{n} C_{r}\) to solve There are 14 standbys who hope to get seats on a flight, but only 6 seats are available on the plane. How many different ways can the 6 people be selected?
A degree-day is a unit used to measure the fuel requirements of buildings. By definition, each degree that the average daily temperature is below \(65^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) is 1 degree-day. For example, an average daily temperature of \(42^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) constitutes 23 degree-days. If the average temperature on January 1 was \(42^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and fell \(2^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) for each subsequent day up to and including January 10 , how many degree-days are included from January 1 to January \(10 ?\)
