6.36. The newspaper article "Folic Acid Might Reduce Risk of Down Syndrome" (USA Today, September 29, 1999) makes the following statement: "Older women are at a greater risk of giving birth to a baby with Down Syndrome than are younger women. But younger women are more fertile, so most children with Down Syndrome are bom to mothers under 30." Let D = event that a randomly selected baby is born with Down Syndrome and Y = event that a randomly selected baby is born to a young mother (under age 30). For each of the following probability statements, indicate whether the statement is consistent with the quote from the article, and if not, explain why not. a. P(D|Y) = .001, P(D]Y°) = .004, P(Y) =.7 b. P(D|Y) = .001, P(D]Y°) = .001, P(Y) =.7 c. P(D|Y) = .004, P(D\Y°) = .004, P(Y) =.7 d. P(D|Y) = .001, P(D]Y©) = .001, P(Y) = 4 e. P(D|Y) = .001, P(D|Y°) = .001, P(Y) = 4 f. P(D|Y) = .004, P(D]Y©) = .004, P(Y) =4

13.Imagine a population of balls in which all are red except for three green ones. If we randomly sample two balls, without replacement, and the probability of getting green both times is p=0.025, which of the following is the number of red balls in the population?
Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
6. The life expectancy of a brand of car motors has a normal distribution with "- 75,000 and o - 5,500. a. Find the probability that 1 motor is chosen at random will have a life expectancy of more than 90,000 miles.
Set up a tree diagram labelled with events and probabilities (conditional and final joint probabilities) on all branches to correctly illustrate Problem 5 of the Conditional Probability WebWorks set (each student will have different numbers to work with). Show how to use the tree diagram with the appropriate probabilities to get your solution.
1. Twelve electric bulbs are drawn independently every hour from a production line at a factory. The number of defective bulbs are random and independent. Suppose that the probability that a bulb is defective is 0.06. a. What is the probability that less than two bulbs are defective? b. What is the probability that three bulbs tested are the second defective bulbs detected?
4. Last semester 80% of MTH 225 students were in good standing heading into the final exam (i.e. current grade % was at least 70%). 85% of the students in good standing heading into the final exam scored 65% or better on the final (i.e. passed). Only 10% of students not in good standing scored passed the final exam. (a) What is the probability a randomly selected student passed the final exam? (b) Given that a student passed the final exam, what is the probability the student was in good standing heading into the final exam?
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....)
