a recent study of 500 patients found that of 300 overweight patients, 240 had elevated cholesterol levels, and of 200 non-overweight patients, 50 had elevated cholesterol levels. If a patient is selected at random, find the probability that the patient is: Either overweight or has an elevated cholesterol level Either non-overweight or does not have an elevated cholesterol level

A pharmaceutical company is running trials on a new test for anabolic steroids. The company uses the test on 400 athletes known to be using steroids and 200 athletes known not to be using steroids. Of those using steroids, the new test is positive for 375 and negative for 25. Of those not using steroids, the test is positive for 25 and negative for 175. What is the relative frequency of a false negative result (the probability that an athlete using steroids will test negative)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the relative frequency of a false positive result (the probability that an athlete not using steroids will test positive)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A professional tennis player claims to get 90% of her second serves in. In a recent match, the player missed 5 of her first 20 second serves. Is this a surprising result if the player's claim is true? Assume that the player has a 0.10 probability of missing each second serve. We want to carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that she would miss 5 or more of her first 20 second serves. The dotplot displays the number of second serves missed by the player out of the first 20 second serves in 100 simulated matches. ▪………………………. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● A●●●●●●●● …………….. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of missed serves in simulated match 7 Is there convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves? Why or why not? No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Missing 5 out of 20 is better than expected. No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Assuming the player makes…
