The answer is the second one: False negative.

Explanation for each option:

  1. True positive: This would mean the person has herpes and the test correctly identifies the presence of the virus. This is not the case here.

  2. False negative: This is when a person has the condition (herpes in this case) but the test incorrectly shows a negative result. This matches the scenario described in the question.

  3. False positive: This would mean the person does not have herpes, but the test incorrectly indicates that they do. This is not applicable here.

  4. True negative: This would mean the person does not have herpes and the test correctly shows a negative result. This is not the situation described.

In summary, the scenario described is an example of a false negative result.

During the Jurassic Period, several different mammalian lineages independently evolved an herbivorous lifestyle for obtaining energy. This has resulted in different digestive patterns in herbivorous animals, some that depend on gut microbiota to digest plant material and some that do not.

Question 6 of 6 This quiz 6 point(s) possible This question: 1 point(s) p Determine whether the graph is that of a function by using the vertical-line test. In either case, use the graph to find the following. (a) The domain and range (b) The intercepts, if any (c) Any symmetry with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, or the origin C. Yes, the graph is a function because every vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point. D. No, the graph is not a function because a vertical line x=pi/2 intersects the graph at two points. (a) The domain is . (Type your answer in interval notation.) The range is . (Type your answer in interval notation.) (b) Select the correct choice and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The intercepts are (-pi, 0),(0,0),(pi, 0). (Type an ordered pair. Type an exact answer, using pi as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. There are no intercepts. (c) Select all that apply. A. It is symmetrical with respect to the x-axis. B. It is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis. C. It is symmetrical with respect to the origin. D. The graph is not symmetrical.
