The work of a student to find the dimensions of a rectangle of area 8 + 16x and width 4 is shown below: Step 1: 8 + 16x
Step 2: 4(4) + 4(12x)
Step 3: 4(4 + 12x)
Step 4: Dimensions of the rectangle are 4 and 4 + 12x

In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
