Question
Evaluate the following integrals:$\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1+\cos\theta}}\text{ d}\theta$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1+\cos\theta}}\text{ d}\theta$ Let $\cos\theta=\text{t}$ Then, $-\sin\theta\text{ d}\theta=\text{dt}$ When $\theta=0,\text{t}=1$ and $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2},\text{t}=0$$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1+\cos\theta}}\text{ d}\theta$
$=\int_{1}^\limits{0}\frac{-\text{dt}}{\sqrt{1+\text{t}}}$
$=\int_{0}^\limits{1}\frac{\text{dt}}{\sqrt{1+\text{t}}}$
$=2\big[\sqrt{1+\text{t}}\big]^1_0$
$=2\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)$

A laboratory blood test is $99\%$ effective in detecting a certain disease when its infection is present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for $0.5\%$ of the healthy person tested (i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability $0.005,$ the test will imply he has the disease). If $0.1\%$ of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
