2. Deer ticks can be carriers of either Lyme disease or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). Basedon a recent study, suppose that 16% of all ticks in a certain location carry Lyme disease, 10% carryHGE, and 10% of the ticks that carry at least one of these diseases in fact carry both. If a randomlyselected tick is found to have carried HGE, what is the probability that the selected tick is also acarrier of Lyme disease?

Given that P(Lyme disease) = 16% = 0.16 P(HGE) = 10% = 0.10 P(Lyme disease and HGE) = 10% = 0 10

Answered: 2. Deer ticks can be carriers of either…

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 51 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 5000 aspirin tablets actually has a 5% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
In a population at high risk of developing cancer, each individual is classified as: Undiagnosed (U), Positive (P), Treatment (T) or Deceased (D). There is a test for the cancer, but there are false positive and false negative test results. Each month: • Each Undiagnosed person will either test positive and move to the Positive category (10 % likelihood), return a false negative test result and Die (3 %) or return a true negative test result (87%) and remain Undiagnosed. • Each Positive person will move to the Treatment category (70 % likelihood), or move to the Undiagnosed category (30 %) because their earlier test result was a false positive. • Each person in the Treatment category will either recover and move to the Undiagnosed category (40 % likelihood), require treatment for another month (40 %), or Die (20 %). Researchers wish to develop a model based on a system of differential equations. 1. Draw a life-cycle diagram showing all possible transitions between the four categories…
A survey showed that 80% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc) for their eyesight. If 19 adults are randomly selected find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction. a. The probability that no more than 1 of the 19 adults require eyesight correction is b. Is 1 significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction: Note that a small probability is one that is less than 0.05.
It is estimated that 60.5% of adults in Nevada have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Suppose 200 Nevada adults are randomly selected. Question #5: What is the probability of 100 or less adults received at least one dose?
1. Power companies severely trim trees growing near their lines to avoid power failures due to falling limbs in storms. Applying a chemical to slow the growth of the trees is cheaper than trimming, but the chemical kills some of the trees. Suppose that one such chemical would kill 20% of sycamore trees. The power company tests the chemical on 250 sycamores. Consider this a SRS from the population of all sycamore trees. Calculate the probability that less than 24% of the tress in the sample are killed. (Hint: Shape, Center, Spread, Curve, Calculations, Conclusion....)
The vast majority of European vehicles sold in the world (BMW, Audi, Mercedes- Benz, etc...) receive their transmissions from either ZF Friedrichshafen AG or Continental AG. After the acquisition of TRW by ZF, ZF AG supplied 69% of transmissions, and Continental AG supplied 31%. If three European cars are randomly selected, what is the probability that 2 of the cars use ZF transmissions and 1 use Continental AG transmission? Enter your answer in percent terms (for example 12.5% must be entered as 12.5).
