A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 89% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated that 4.46% 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, given a negative result, the person does not have disease X = % The percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified =

Many fire stations handle emergency calls for medical assistance as well as calls requesting firefighting equipment. A particular station says that the probability that an incoming call is for medical assistance is 0.84. This can be expressed as P(call is for medical assistance) = 0.84. (a) Give a relative frequency interpretation of the given probability. O Eighty-four percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. O None of the calls to the station are for medical assistance. O Sixteen percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. O All calls to the station are for medical assistance. O Fifty percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. (b) What is the probability that a call is not for medical assistance?
