In this exercise, the results of the requested probabilities will, if necessary, be rounded to the thousandth.
Feline leukosis is a disease affecting cats; It is caused by a virus.
In a large veterinary center, it is estimated that 40% of cats carry the disease.
Cats present in this veterinary centre are tested for the disease.
This test has the following characteristics:
• When the cat is a carrier of the disease, its test is positive in 90% of cases.
• When the cat is not a carrier of the disease, its test is negative in 85% of cases.
A cat is randomly selected from the veterinary center and we consider the following events:
M : "The cat is a carrier of the disease";
T : "The cat's test is positive";
M and T denote the contrary events of the events M and T respectively.
1) a) Translate the situation into a weighted tree.
b) Calculate the probability that the cat is a carrier of the disease and that its test is positive.
c) Show that the probability of the cat's test being positive is 0.45.
d) A cat is chosen from among those who test positive. Calculate the probability that it is a carrier of
the disease.
2) A sample of 20 cats is chosen at random from the veterinary center, including 15 females (event F ).
It is accepted that this choice can be assimilated to a draw with replacement.
We recall that M : "The cat is a carrier of the disease" and that p ( M ) = 0, 4 .

b) Calculate the probability that the chosen cat is a female who carries the disease.
3) Among the 15 females, 3 cats are chosen simultaneously and randomly.
a) What is the probability that at least one of these three is a carrier of the disease?
b) What is the probability that exactly two of the three cats chosen have the disease?

• The function f ′ is positive on ]−∞; 1], then the function f is increasing on this
interval;
A.1.a • The function f ′ is negative on [ − 1; +∞[, so the function f is decreasing on this ¾
interval.

• The function f ′ is decreasing on ]−∞ ; 0[ , so f ′′ ( x ) < 0 on this interval, so the

function f is concave on ]−∞ ; 0[ ;
A.1.b • The function f ′ is increasing on ]0 ; + ∞[ , so f ′′ ( x ) > 0 on this interval, so the ¾

function f is convex on ]0 ; + ∞[ .

A.2.a. f ′ ( x ) = e − x − ( x + a ) e − x = (1 − x − a ) e − x . ½
A.2.b. f ′ ( 0 ) =−1 ;1 − a =−1 ; a =2 . ½

B.2.b. 1

On the interval [−1.6; −1.5], the function f is continuous and strictly increasing.
f (−1.6) < 2 and f (−1.5) > 2 therefore, according to the corollary of the intermediate
B.2.c. ¾
value theorem, the equation f (x) = 2 admits a unique solution α on the interval
[−1.6; −1.5].
f ′′ ( x ) = (−1) × e − x +(− x − 1) × (−1) e − x = (−1 + x + 1) e − x = x e − x ;
e − x > 0 for all x , so f ′′ (x) has the sign of x.
B.3.a. • Over ]−∞ ; 0[ f ′′ (x) < 0 so the function f is concave. 1½
• Over ]0; +∞[, f ′′ (x) > 0 so the function f is convex.
• In x = 0, the second derivative is equal to 0 and changes sign so the point A of
abscissa 0 of (C) is the inflection point of this curve.
=y A f= (0) 2
B.3.b. ¾
(T):= y f ′ ( x A )( x − x A ) + y A =−1( x − 0 ) + 2 so (T): y =− x + 2 .
