Questions: Even though Arizona and Rhode Island are both states in the U.S., they are strikingly different in many ways. For example, the physical size of each state differs. Arizona is large, having an area of 114,000 square miles; Rhode Island is only a tenth the size, having an area of only 1,214 square miles. Another difference is in the size of the population of each state. Arlzona has 4 million people living in it, but Rhode Island has less than 1 million. Also, the two states differ in the kinds of natural environments that each has. For example, Arizona is a very dry state, consisting of large desert areas that do not receive much rainfall every year. On the flip side, Rhode Island is located in a temperate zone and receives an average of 44 inches of rain per year. Which of the following is the best signal word or phrase to use when discussing the differences between the large state of Arizona with the small state of Rhode Island? In like manner Consequently In comparison In spite of

Solution

The answer is "In comparison."

Explanation for each option:

  • In like manner: This phrase is used to indicate similarity or to show that something is done in a similar way. Since the question is about discussing differences, this is not the appropriate choice.

  • Consequently: This word is used to indicate a result or effect of a previous statement. It does not signal a comparison of differences, so it is not suitable for this context.

  • In comparison: This phrase is used to highlight differences or similarities between two or more items. Since the question is about discussing the differences between Arizona and Rhode Island, "In comparison" is the best choice.

  • In spite of: This phrase is used to indicate a contrast or contradiction, often when something happens despite an obstacle or opposing factor. While it indicates contrast, it is not specifically used for comparing differences between two entities, making it less suitable than "In comparison" for this context.

The state medical school has discovered a new test for tuberculosis. (If the test indicates a person has tuberculosis, the test is positive.) Experimentation has shown that the probability of a positive test is 0.78, given that a person has tuberculosis. The probability is 0.07 that the test registers positive, given that the person does not have tuberculosis. Assume that in the general population, the probability that a person has tuberculosis is 0.03. What is the probability that a person chosen at random will fall in the following categories. (a) have tuberculosis and have a positive test (b) not have tuberculosis (c) not have tuberculosis and have a positive test
