A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 95% of the time. False positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 0.18% 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 = %

We are interested in analyzing data related to college football. Use S to denote the team is in the SEC and use W to denote a team has a winning season. The probability that a team is in the SEC in the data set is 5.5%. The probability that a team has a winning season is 52.5%. The probability that a team is in the SEC and has a winning season is 3.55%. What percentage of teams are in the SEC or had a winning season? b. What percentage of people teams are in the SEC and did NOT have a winning season? Given a team had a winning season, what is the probability that they are in the SEC? а. с.
