A new analytical method to detect pollutants in water is being tested. This new method of chemical analysis is important because, if adopted, it could be used to detect three different contaminates - organic pollutants, volatile solvents, and chlorinated compounds - instead of having to use a single test for each pollutant. The makers of the test claim that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.7% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99.92% accuracy, and chlorinated compounds with 89.7% accuracy. If a pollutant is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly.(a) Whatis the probability that the test will signal?

(b) Ifthe test signals, what is the probability that chlorinatedcompounds are present?

Ican interpret and represent the remainder in division calculations sensibly for the context (eg if we wont to know how many 40 seat buses will be needed to transport 170 students for on excursion, we divide 170 by 40 and realise buses and another smaller vehicle to that we need 4 transport 10 more students) solve the following questions. show your work! 11) the zoo had 420 butterflies that needed to be transported to a new enclosure. the boxes that the butterflies would be moved in only hold 80 butterflies in each. how many boxes would they need? 2 12) each classroom in the school can have exactly 25 students, if there are 345 students in the school how many full classrooms are there?
