Meningitis causes stiff neck 50% of the time. The probability of a patient having meningitis (M) is 1/50,000.The probability of a patient having stiff neck (S) is 1/20.Now calculate the probability of meningitis given stiff neck?
Suppose the amount of gasoline sold daily at a service station is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 1571 gallons and a maximum of 8154 gallons. What is the probability that daily sales will fall between 1951 gallons and 4845 gallons?
Helen plays basketball. Helen must now attempt two free throws. C = the event that Helen succeeds on the first shot with P(C) = 0.50. D = the event Helen succeeds on the second shot with P(D)= 0.50. The probability that Helen succeeds on the second shot given that she succeeds on the first one is 0.63. What is the probability that Helen succeeds in both shots?
On the average the traffic pattern at an intersection is as follows: • Twice as many cars go through as the number of vans, bicycles and trucks combined. • Twice as many vans go through as the number of bicycles and trucks combined. • Half as many trucks go through as the number of bicycles. Calculate the probability that the next vehicle to go through is a truck or a car. (19/27)

A professional tennis player claims to get 90% of her second serves in. In a recent match, the player missed 5 of her first 20 second serves. Is this a surprising result if the player's claim is true? Assume that the player has a 0.10 probability of missing each second serve. We want to carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that she would miss 5 or more of her first 20 second serves. The dotplot displays the number of second serves missed by the player out of the first 20 second serves in 100 simulated matches. ▪………………………. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● A●●●●●●●● …………….. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of missed serves in simulated match 7 Is there convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves? Why or why not? No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Missing 5 out of 20 is better than expected. No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Assuming the player makes…
A door-to-door salesman expects to make a sale 14% of the time when starting the day. But making a sale increases his enthusiasm so much that the probability of a sale to the next customer is 0.39. If he makes no sale, the probability for a sale to the next customer stays at 0.14. What is the probability that he will make at least two sales with his first three visits?
