A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 88% of the time. False positives occur 11%. It is estimated that 2.78% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. Compute the following probabilities. The percentage chance that, given a negative result, the person does not have disease X= The percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified =

Suppose that in a sample of 30 patients, the variance of a randomly selected person having a genetic disease was 3.7. Calculate the highest possible expected number of patients that would have this disease.
The 2010 census shows that 6% of the American population are at least 75 years of age. To test a random digit dialing device, you use the device to call randomly chosen residential telephones in your county. Of the 150 members of the households contacted, 4% are 75 years or older. Assume that your county's population is similar to the American population in age distribution. What is the probability that a random sample of 150 respondents would contain less than 4% of individuals at least 75 years of age?
You are the manager of a manufacturing plant and you are responsible for quality control. Each day, a random sample of 10 items is selected from the production line and tested by a quality control technician. A item can be in good condition or defective, and the probability that an item is defective is 0.05. You know by experience that the technician records the result of the test on an item correctly 80% of the time. Let X be the number of items that were recorded as defective by the technician (in the sample of 10 tested items). (a) Find the probability P(X= 1). (b) If the technician recorded one defective item in the sample, what is the conditional probability that there was no defective item in the sample?
20% of all people are O negative. If 12 people donate blood at the blood drive 1. The probability that 9 O negative blood type people donated blood is 2.

Regifting is defined as the act of taking a gift that has been given to you and presenting it as a gift to someone else. According to survey conducted by a credit card company regarding consumer spending, 81% of the respondents felt that it was socially acceptable to regift during the holiday season (big sigh of relief). Suppose a random sample of 10 holiday shoppers was selected. Complete parts a through d. a. What is the probability that 9 shoppers from this sample felt that regifting was socially acceptable? The probability is. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that more than 7 shoppers from this sample felt that regifting was socially acceptable? The probability is. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability that fewer than 10 shoppers from this sample felt that regifting was socially acceptable? The probability is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four…

Two fair dice are rolled. Find the joint probability distribution of Y1 and Y2, where Y1 is the larger of the values obtained on the dice and Y2 is the absolute value of the difference of the values obtained on the dice. Find the marginal probability distributions of Y1 and Y2 from the joint probability distribution.
A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 89% of the time. False positives occur 8%. It is estimated that 3.04% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. Compute the following probabilities. (It may help to draw a probability tree.) The percentage chance that the test will be positive = % The probability that, given a positive result, the person has disease X =
