A medical test has been designed to detect the presence of a certain disease. Among people who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the test is 0.94. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.03. It is estimated that 5% of the population who take this test have the disease. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease? (b) If an individual takes the test twice and the test is positive both times, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease? (Assume that the tests are independent.)

George is a big fan of music from the 1960s, and 22% of the songs on his iPod are Beatles songs. Suppose George sets his iPod to "shuffle," so that it selects songs randomly (assume the shuffle function permits repetition of songs). During a long drive, George plays 50 randomly selected songs. Calculate the probability that more than 30% of the 50 randomly selected songs are Beatles songs. Round your answer to four decimal places.

A reader wrote in to the “Ask Marilyn” column in Parade magazine to say that his grandfather told him that in three-quarters of all baseball games, the winning team scores more runs in one inning than the losing team scores in the entire game. (This phenomenon is known as a “big bang.”) Marilyn responded that this proportion seemed too high to be believable. Let p be the proportion of all major-league baseball games in which a “big bang” occurs. To investigate this claim, we randomly selected one week of the 2006 major-league baseball season, which turned out to be July 31-August 6, 2006. Then we examined the 95games played that week to determine which had a big bang and which did not. Of the95 games in our sample, 47 contained a big bang. Use a two-sided alternative, state the null and alternative hypothesis (in symbols and in words) for testing Marilyn’s claim. 7. Determine the test statistic and p-value. 8. What conclusion would you draw concerning Marilyn’s conjecture using the…

Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.3. A sample of 42 U.S. adults is chosen. Use the TI-84 Plus Calculator as needed. Round the answer to at least four decimal places. Part 1 of 6 Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 51% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure? ▼appropriate to use the normal curve, since xp = 12.6 > po It is and (1-P) = 29.4 Part 2 of 6 Find the probability that more than 51% of the people in this sample have high blood pressure.

You host a house party with 4 guests attending. Every guest gets a chance to win a gift by spinning a wheel with 1/3 of a chance of stopping at the winning spot. If you prepare 2 gifts to give away, what is the probability of you being embarrassed for running short of gifts (i.e, there are more winners than the number of gifts). Round your answer to two decimal places (for example: 0.12)
