MATH 8 ASSIGNMENT FOR MATH GURU
The problem you must solve is:Acme Manufacturing Company requires all of its 6000 employees to take a drug test. Suppose 3% of the employees actually use drugs (although the company does not know this number). The drug test is 95% accurate.How many of Acme’s employees use drugs?How many of the employees who use drugs get a positive test result?How many of the employees who do not use drugs get a positive test result?Of the employees who get a positive test result, how many of them use drugs? Convert this to a percentage: What percent of people who get a positive result actually use drugs?State a conclusion about the accuracy of the test.You may use ideas from the discussion board, but you are expected to write your solution using your own words to explain your reasoning. The report should be no more than 3 pages.Keep the following in mind to maximize credit for your write-up:Review the rubric your instructor will use to score your work. (See Evaluation Criteria below).Answer all parts of the problem.Write your solution in your own words.

You can use phrases to explain your reasoning from step to step, but clearly state your final conclusions using complete English sentences (for example, “Jill needs to add 43 gallons of water to her pool”).Label all numbers with the units they represent (e.g., 0.3048 ft/meter).Type your write-up in MS Word and try to use the Equation Editor so that your equations are clear.The videoHow to use Equation Editor in Microsoft Office (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.is a good tutorial. For this course, it is sufficient to watch segments 0:00-5:00 and 9:50-12:00. Don’t forgethow to cancel units in Word, which was explained in Module 1.If you cannot type your equations, you may hand-write the mathematics in dark ink, scan your paper, check for legibility then upload your work.Compose your work in a .doc or .docx file type using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, etc.) and save it frequently to your computer. For those assignments that are not written essays and require uploading images or PowerPoint slides, please follow uploading guidelines provided by your instructor.Check your work and correct any spelling or grammatical errors.
