**Transcription for Educational Website**### Understanding Test Accuracy and ProbabilityA blood test indicates the presence of a particular disease 96% of the time when the disease is actually present. The same test indicates the presence of the disease 0.5% of the time when the disease is not present. Four percent of the population actually has the disease. Calculate the probability that a person has the disease, given that the test indicates the presence of the disease.**Choose the correct answer below:**- A. 0.889- B. 0.95- C. 0.167- D. 0.96### Explanation:This problem is related to conditional probability and involves calculating the probability of having the disease given a positive test result. To solve this, you would use Bayes' Theorem, which is a key concept in statistics for such problems.

given data,event A=person has disease event B =test indicated person has disease P(B|A) = 0.96…

Is the probability of a bowler rolling a strike higher after he has thrown four consecutive strikes? Researchers investigated the phenomenon of a "hot hand" in bowling. Frame-by-frame results were collected on 43 professional bowlers. For each bowler, the researchers calculated the proportion of strikes rolled after bowling four consecutive strikes and the proportion after bowling four consecutive nonstrikes. The data on 4 of the 43 bowlers are shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a and b. Click the icon to view the data table.
