A certain disease affects about 1 out of 10, 000 people. There is a test to check whether the person has the disease. The test is quite accurate. In particular, we know that • the probability that the test result is positive (suggesting the person has the disease), given that the person does not have the disease, is only 2 percent; • the probability that the test result is negative (suggesting the person does not have the disease), given that the person has the disease, is only 1 percent. A random person gets tested for the disease and the result comes back positive. What is the probability that the person has the disease?
A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 95% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated that 5.13% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that, given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?

An opinion poll asks a simple random sample of 500 adults whether they favor giving parents of school-age children vouchers that can be exchanged for education at any public or private school of their choice. Each school would be paid by the government on the basis of how many vouchers it collected. Suppose that in fact 47% of the population favor this idea. What is the probability that more than half (50%) of the sample are in favor? (Use State/Plan/Do/Conclude)
