Your classmate simplified the following rational expression and asked you if you got the same answer. Determine whether the answer below is correct. If it is not correct, simplify the expression. Show all of your work. Rational expression: (x^(2)-1) / (x^(2)4x-5) ÷ (2x^(2)+4x) / (6x^(2)-30x)

Your friend's (2x(x-1)(x+2)) / (6x(x-5)(x-5))

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
