A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 91% of the time. False positives occur 9%. It is estimated that 3.98% 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 the test will be positive = The probability that, given a positive result, the person has disease X =

Oxygen demand is a term biologists use to describe the oxygen needed by fish and other aquatic organisms for survival. The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of a wetland area. In this wetland environment, the mean oxygen demand was u = 9.3 mg/L with 95% of the data ranging from 6.7 mg/L to 11.9 mg/L. Let x be a random variable that represents oxygen demand in this wetland environment. Assume x has a probability distribution that is approximately normal. In USE SALT (a) Use the 95% data range to estimate the standard deviation for oxygen demand. (b) An oxygen demand below 8 indicates that some organisms in the wetland environment may be dying. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will fall below mg/L? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) A high oxygen demand can also indicate trouble. An oxygen demand above 12 may indicate an overabundance of organisms that endanger some types of plant life. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will exceed…
A survey showed that 83% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 18 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 17 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 17 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? ... The probability that at least 17 of the 18 adults require eyesight correction is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Oxygen demand is a term biologists use to describe the oxygen needed by fish and other aquatic organisms for survival. The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of a wetland area. In this wetland environment, the mean oxygen demand was μ = 9.2 mg/L with 95% of the data ranging from 5.4 mg/L to 13.0 mg/L. Let x be a random variable that represents oxygen demand in this wetland environment. Assume xhas a probability distribution that is approximately normal.
