According to a university's report, only 35% of all surgical operations at that time required an overnight stay at a hospital. Rewrite this fact as a proportion, as a risk, and as the odds of an overnight stay. In each case, express the result as a full sentence. (Enter the odds as a ratio using two numbers.) The proportion of surgical operations requiring an overnight hospital stay (at the time of the report) was __?

In applying statistics, we make decisions with less than 100% certainty (We are not always correct in our conclusion). False O True
In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…
