1. The American Journal of Public Health (July 1995) published a study of the relationship between passive smoking and nasal allergies in Japanese female students. The study revealed that 80% of students from heavy-smoking families showed sign of nasal allergies on physical examinations. Consider a sample of 20 Japanese female students exposed daily to heavy smoking. What is the probability that fewer than 15 of the students will have nasal allergies? X<13 n=20, P=0.808 I =<15 a. b. What is the probability that more than 10 of the students will have nasal allergies? X > O c. What is the probability that exactly 10 of the students will have a nasal allergy?

A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 95% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated that 5.13% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that, given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?

In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 373 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 433 green peas and 121 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 40 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of getting married." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for a never-previously-wed, 40-year-old university-educated American woman was 2.4%. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small, Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simple random sample of 440 never-previously-wed, university-educated, American women who were single at the beginning of their 40s and who are now 45. Of these women, 12 report now being married. Does this evidence support Annie’s claim, at the 0.02 level of significance, that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 2.4%? Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
A doctor is interested in the proportion of patients which live at least 5 years after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. He randomly selects 138 patients diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and follows them for 5 years. Suppose the true 5 year survival rate for stage 4 breast cancer is 38%. 1. How are the collection of all sample proportions of samples of size 138 distributed? NO 2. What is the probability that fewer than 34% of the patients studied survived for at least 5 years? o List the z-scores needed to calculate the result. If there is more than one z-score, separate the values with a comma. o There is a survived for at least 5 years. 3.

Professor Jones wants to test his new treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Scores on a standard measure of OCD are normally distributed with a mean of u 50 and o =9. Jones administers the program to an individual who, following treatment scores 65 on the OCD assessment. Which is the probability of receiving a score this large or larger? O a.p-0.0478 O b.p=0.9850 Ocp-0.0365 Od.p-0.4850
