Q36. He reliability of a COVID PCR test is specified as follows:

Of people having COVID, 90% of the test detects the disease but 10% goes undetected. Of
people free of COVID, 99% of the test is judged COVID negative but 1% are diagnosed as
showing COVID positive. From a large population of which only 0.1% have COVID, one
person is selected at random, given the COVID PCR test, and the pathologist reports him/her as
COVID positive

Therefore, by second derivative test, x = 0 is a point of local maxima and local
maximum value of f at x = 0 is f (0) = 12 while x = 1 and x = – 2 are the points
of local minima and local minimum values of f at x = – 1 and – 2 are f (1) = 7
and f (–2) = –20, respectively.

 From the table, we find that 8 is the minimum value of Z at G(1, 6). Since the
region is unbounded we have to check that the inequality 2x + y < 8 in open
half plane has any point in common or not.
Since, it has no point in common. So, Z is minimum at G (1, 6) and the
minimum value of Z is 8.
