A variety of preparatory courses are designed to help applicants improve their GMAT scores, which range from 200 to 800. Suppose that a survey of MBA students reveals that among GMAT scorers at least 650, 72% took a preparatory course; whereas among GMAT scores of less than 650 only 31% took a preparatory course. The probability for an applicant to score at least 650 is 30%. Suppose he was not taking the preparatory course. What is his probability of achieving 650 or more for GMAT score? (5…
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?

A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.7%. If the false negative rate is 8% and the false positive rate is 4%, compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.
Nissa is randomly pulling the medical records of a hospital's patients and collecting the records of those who have multiple stays at this hospital. Assume that 27% of all patients who have ever stayed at this hospital have multiple stays. What is the probability that the first multiple stays patient record that Nissa comes across is the fourth one she pulls? Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability. • Round your answer to three decimal places.
Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.

Miss 'X' is fond of seeing films. The probability that she sees a film on the day before the test is 0.7. Miss X is any way good at studies. The probability that she maxes the test is 0.3 if she sees the film on the day before the test and the corresponding probability is 0.8 if she does not see the film. If Miss 'X' maxed the test, find the probability that she saw the film on the day before the test.
