. There is a fire sensor system in a building. In long series of experiments, it was found that the accuracy of the fire sensor system can be described as follows: • In the case of a fire, the sensor system will be activated with probability 0.97. • In a night without fire, the sensor system may be activated with probability 0.01. The probability of a fire in this specific area is founded 2/397 from the past data. The fire sensor system is activated. Find the probability that there was actually a fire.

The fraction of a large population that has a specific blood type T is .08 (8%). For blood donation purposes it is necessary to find 4 people with type T blood. If randomly selected individuals from the population are tested one after another, then (a) What is the probability y persons have to be tested to get 5 type T persons, and (b) What is the probability that over 80 people have to be tested?
If you play roulettes and bet on 'red' the probability that you win is 18/38 = .4737. People often repeat this between several times. We can consider each time we play a 'trial' and consider it a success when we win, so p = 18/38 or (.4737) and q = 20/38 or (.5263). Suppose that Caryl always places the same bet when she plays roulette, $5 on 'red'. Caryl might play just once, or might play several times. She has a profit (having won $5 more times than she lost $5) if she wins more than half of the games she plays. -when you play 401 times, p is the proportion of those 401 games that you win. You'll profit (winning more than you lose) if you win more than half of your bets p > .5000. c) what is the mean or expected value of p? d) what is the standard deviation of p? e) assume that the distribution of p is Normal and find the probability that Caryl will have a profit if she plays 401 times. show your work or calculator input and round your answer to four decimal places
suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?
Suppose the sensitivity of a diagnostic procedure to test whether a person has a particular disease is 95 % . A person who actually has the disease is tested for it using this procedure by two independent laboratories. (1) What is the probability that both test results will be positive? (ii) What is the probability that at least one of the two test results willI be positive?

Suppose that 65% of people own dogs. If you pick two people at random, what is the probability that they both own a dog? Give your answer as a decimal (to at least 3 places) or fraction
A survey showed that 74% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 18 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that no more than 1 of the 18 adults require eyesight correction is (round to three decimal places as needed)
Assume a students alarm clark has a 13.4% daily failure rate, what is the probability that 2 alarm clocks will fail on the morning of an important final exam
Q5. It was found that a New Brunswick family doctor has on average 14 patients calling in for anappointment they say they need to have on that very day during a standard 10 hour work day.Using the tables(a) What is the probability that a New Brunswick family doctor has more than 20 patientscalling in for an appointment they say they need to have on that very day during a standard10 hour work day?(b) What is the probability that a New Brunswick family doctor has more than 2 patientscalling in for an appointment they say they need to have on that very day during the nexthour?(c) What is the probability that a New Brunswick family doctor has 7 or less 20 patientscalling in for an appointment they say they need to have on that very day during the next3 hours?(d) For this situation, determine the probabilities of being within 1, 2 an d 3 standard deviations for the mean and compare these results to the empirical rule
