19. Suppose you are tested to see if you have a rare disease. Assume that if you have the disease, your testwill always come back positive, but if you do nothave the disease, there is still a 0.001 chance that youwill test positive. In reality, only 1 of 10,000 peoplehave the disease. Your doctor calls and says that youhave tested positive. He is sorry but there is a 99.9%(120.001) chance that you have the disease. Is hecorrect? What is the actual probability that you havethe disease?

We believe that 95% of the population of all Elementary Statistics students consider Statistics an exciting subject. Suppose we randomly and independently selected 20 students from the population. If the true percentage is really 95% find the probability of observing 19 or more of the students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject in our sample of 20.

Fear of the dark is quite common among children. However, what about adults? One polling agency released the results of a survey that asked people over 30 years old if they keep the lights on at night. Among 452 respondents, 34% indeed leave the light on when going to sleep. What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of adults who keep the lights on at night? We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of adults keep the lights on at night.

Suppose you are conducting a test of significance to try to determine whether your cat, Hope, will go to the correct object (out of two) when it is pointed to. You test Hope 100 times and finds she goes to the correct object in 70 out of those 100 trials. In this scenario, what is the variable? Whether or not Hope goes to the correct object The 100 trials The proportion of the 100 trials that Hope goes to the correct object The long term proportion (probability) that Hope will go to the correct object
