A manufacturer of COVID-19 vaccine is concerned about the quality of its formulation. As such, the batches of formulations are treated and inspected by three laboratory unit with probability rejection rates of 0.4, 0.05, and 0.18, respectively. Assuming that the process is done consequently for the three laboratory sections independently, evaluate the probability that a batch of COVID-19 vaccine formulations is accepted by the first and the second laboratory unit but is rejected on the last one.

Deer ticks can be carriers of either Lyme disease or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). Based on a recent study, suppose that 18% of all ticks in a certain location carry Lyme disease, 6% carry HGE, and 6% of the ticks that carry at least one of these diseases in fact carry both of them. If a randomly selected tick is found to have carried HGE, what is the probability that the selected tick is also a carrier of Lyme disease? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 0.76
Approximately 1% of the US population currently have active coronavirus. According to Johns Hopkins, a particular type of COVID test (RT-PCR), has a false negative rate of 20%. That is, if a person has COVID, and takes this test, there is a 20% chance of testing negative. The false positive rate is about 1% (more recent COVID tests have a false positive rates around .4%). That means that about 1% of people who don’t have COVID will nonetheless test positive. Consider the following two-way table for 1000 randomly selected people who were tested for COVID using (RT-PCR). Positive test Negative test Total Has COVID 8 2 10 No COVID 10 980 990 Total 18 982 1000 What is the probability of choosing someone who tested positive? What is the probability of choosing someone who has COVID? What is the probability of choosing someone who Doesn’t have COVID andtested positive? What is the probability of choosing someone with COVID given that they…
A medical laboratory uses three machines (named M1, M2, and M3, respectively) to measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in selected blood samples from adult men; Elevated PSA levels have been associated with the presence of prostate cancer. Suppose the machine M1 has a 0.01 probability of giving an incorrect PSA level, that the M2 machine has a 0.02 probability of give an incorrect PSA level and the M3 machine has 0.03 probability of giving a PSA level incorrect. Also, suppose the M1 machine performs 20% of the PSA analyzes done by this lab doctor, that the M2 machine performs 50% of the PSA analyses, and that the M3 machine performs 30% of the PSA analyses. PSA (a) Find the probability that a PSA analysis performed by this medical laboratory is performed correctly. (b) Given that a given PSA analysis was performed incorrectly, what is the value of the probability of that this PSA analysis was performed by the M1 machine or by the M2 machine?
The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 19.1% daily failure rate. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam?
Based on geological studies done on land in East Texas, a petroleum company believes the probability of finding high-quality oil is 25%, medium-quality oil is 41%, and no oil is 34%. Since drilling can be expensive, the petroleum company also plans on doing a soil test (since certain soil types are more apt to detect the presence and quality of oil). For example, the petroleum company knows that in 23% of high-quality oil finds, 16% of medium-quality oil finds, and 7% of no oil finds, the soil is Type A. So, for East Texas land... Find the probability of high-quality oil given the soil is Type A.
In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401,974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and 33 of those children developed polio. The other 200,745 children were given a placebo, and 115 of those children developed polio. If we want to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for the hypothesis test satisfied? Explain.
A new vaccine against the coronavirus has been developed. The vaccine was tested on 10,000 volunteers and the study has shown that 65% of those tested do not get sick from the coronavirus. Unfortunately, the vaccine has side effects and in the study it was shown that the probability of getting side effects among those who did not get sick is 0.31, while the probability of getting side effects among those who got sick from corona despite vaccination is 0.15. (a) Draw an event tree and show on the event tree all the probabilities in branch points.
According to the Almanac of Questionable Statistics, Vol 4 (2012), the probability of a mass squirrel uprising in any given year is 0.07 and the probability that cats and dogs will sign a peace treaty allowing them to live together peacefully in any given year is 0.86. If we presume that these two events are independent, what is the probability of both happening next year?
For each Bernoulli process, find the expected number of successes: 1. Number of trials = 30, Probability of success = 0.6. 2. Number of trials = 260, Probability of success = 1/10. 3. Number of trials = 45, Probability of success = 0.2. 4. Number of trials = 23, Probability of failure = 0.8. 5. Number of trials = 59, Probability of failure = 4/7.
A lightbulb manufacturer ships large consignments of lightbulbs to big industrial users. When the production process is functioning comectly, which is 90% of the time, 15% of all bulbs produced are defective. However, the process is susceptible to an occasional malfunction, leading to a defective rate of 30%. If a defective bub is found, what is the probability that the process is functioning correctly? If a nondefective bulb is found, what is the probability that the process is operating comectly? If a defective bulb is found, the probability that the process is functioning correctly is (Round to three decimal places as needed) CUP
In a population at high risk of developing cancer, each individual is classified as: Undiagnosed (U), Positive (P), Treatment (T) or Deceased (D). There is a test for the cancer, but there are false positive and false negative test results. Each month: • Each Undiagnosed person will either test positive and move to the Positive category (10 % likelihood), return a false negative test result and Die (3 %) or return a true negative test result (87%) and remain Undiagnosed. • Each Positive person will move to the Treatment category (70 % likelihood), or move to the Undiagnosed category (30 %) because their earlier test result was a false positive. • Each person in the Treatment category will either recover and move to the Undiagnosed category (40 % likelihood), require treatment for another month (40 %), or Die (20 %). Researchers wish to develop a model based on a system of differential equations. 1. Draw a life-cycle diagram showing all possible transitions between the four categories…
