A manufacturing line makes parts that have a defect rate of 1 in 100; that his, one part out every 100 parts on average are bad, and the remaining parts are good. a) You have an original testing system that is 90% accurate in determining whether a part is defective or works, and it's accuracy is the sand for both good parts and bad parts. Suppose your original testing system labels a particular part defective. What is the probability that the part is bad?

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?
12. Assume that the incidence of a certain virus in a particular population is 9% and that a test correctly identifies the virus 87% of the time. Assume that false positives occur 6% of the time. If a person tests positive for the virus, what is the probability that the person actually has the virus?
Suppose a lung cancer test is 85% sensitive and 93% specific. That is, the test will produce 85% true positive results for those with lung cancer and 93% true negative results for those without lung cancer. Suppose that 3.2% of people actually have lung cancer. If a randomly selected individual tests positive, what is the probability he or she does not have cancer? YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE BETWEEN O AND 100 AND ROUNDED To 4 DECIMAL PLACES. (e.g. 59.5321 would be 59.5321%)
The manufacture of a certain part requires two different machine operations. The time on machine 1 has mean 0.5 hours and standard deviation 0.3 hours. The time on machine 2 has mean 0.6 hours and standard deviation 0.4 hours. The times needed on the machines are independent. Suppose that 100 parts are manufactured. What is the probability that the total time used by machine 1 is greater than the total time used by machine 2?
From observations of the weather, it is known that on October 20 the probability of rain is 0.85. A certain forecast method for October 20 is correct 0.9 times if rain is predicted and 0.75 times if no rain is predicted. How much information does a real weather forecast provide 20 th of October?
A psychology teacher teaches two statistics classes back-to-back, lecture L1 at 09:00 am and lecture CL1 at 10 am. Suppose the probability that the instructor gives a good L1 lecture is 0.25. If L1 lecture is good, then CL1 lecture is also good with probability 0.50. However, if L1 lecture is bad, then there is an 90% chance that CL1 lecture will also be bad. a) What proportion of the CL1 lectures are good? b) Suppose CL1 lecture was good. What is the probability that L1 lecture was also good? c) What is the probability that at least one lecture is good (i.e., either L1 lecture is good or CL1 lecture is good, or both)?
4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
A survey showed that 81% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 20 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that no more than 1 of the 20 adults require eyesight correction is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

a. What is the probability of seeing positive change? b. What is the probability of seeing positive change given that the tree is oak? c. Do the data suggest effect and tree type are independent events? yes or no
A survey showed that 79% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 15 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 14 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 14 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that at least 14 of the 15 adults require eyesight correction is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
