38. Case-Study 3 Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

A Covid-19 test is 99% effective in detecting Coronavirus disease when it is in fact, present. However, the
test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e., if a healthy person is tested,
then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the Coronavirus disease). If 0.1 percent of the
population actually has the Coronavirus disease.
(i) What is the total probability that a person selected from this population will be tested positive?
(ii) What is the probability that a person has the Coronavirus disease given that his test result is
positive?

22. Let at any time ′t′ length of edge of cube is x and its volume is V, 2
then
V=x3 .....(i)
and this edge is increasing at the rate of 3 cm/s.
∴dx/dt=3cm/s.
We have to find, rate of change of volume V
When x=10cm
∴dv/dt=3x2dx/dt
⇒dV/dt=3x2.3=9x2
When x=10cm,dv/dt=9(10)2=900cm3/s
Hence, Rate of change of Volume is 900cm3/sec.
