Allergy Sufferers Clarinex-D is a medication whose purpose is to reduce the symptoms associated with a variety of allergies. In clinical trials of Clarinex-D, 5% of the patients in the study experience insomnia as a side effect. A random sample of 20 Clarinex-D users is obtained, and the number of patients who experienced insomnia is recorded. 1. Find the probability that 5 or fewer experienced insomnia. 25 2. Would it be unusual to find 6 or more of the patients who experienced insomnia as a side effect? Why or why not?

A test to determine whether a certain antibody is present is 99.4% effective. This means that the test will accurately come back negative if the antibody is not present (in the test subject) 99.4% of the time. The probability of a test coming back positive when the antibody is not present (a false positive) is 0.006. Suppose the test is given to seven randomly selected people who do not have the antibody. (a) What is the probability that the test comes back negative for all seven people? (b) What is the probability that the test comes back positive for at least one of the seven people?
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 62% What is the probability that in a random sample of 470 headache sufferers, less than 59.9% obtain relief?
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 63.8%. What is the probability that in a random sample of 440 headache sufferers, less than 59.7% obtain relief
14 percent of the school age population attends private schools and 1% of those get executive-level positions later in their careers. This compares with0.1%of people who attend state schools achieving executive-level positions. What is the probability that a randomly selected person in an executive-level position had attended a private school?
A test to determine whether a certain antibody is present is 99.2% effective. This means that the test will accurately come back negative if the antibody is not present (in the test subject) 99.2% of the time. The probability of a test coming back positive when the antibody is not present (a false positive) is 0.008. Suppose the test is given to six randomly selected people who do not have the antibody. (a) What is the probability that the test comes back negative for all six people? (b) What is the probability that the test comes back positive for at least one of the six people?
A new breathalyser is being trialled. When alcohol is present, the breathalyser correctly predicts alcohol in the system 90% of the time, but gives a false positive (indicates alcohol in the system when the individual has not drunk any alcohol) 4% of the time. On 20th December within the adult population 25% of individual have had alcohol. Given the breathalyser is positive what is the probability you have had an alcoholic drink? 0.948 0.980 0.720 0.882 0.957 No answer
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 63.5%. What is the probability that in a random sample of 480 headache sufferers, less than 59.4% obtain relief?
Disco Fever is randomly found in one half of one percent of the general population. Testing a swatch of clothing for the presence of polyester is 99% effective in detecting the presence of this disease. The test also yields a false positive in 4% of the cases where the disease is not present. What is the probability that the disease is absent if the test result is negative?
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 62%. What is the probability that in a random sample of 560 headache sufferers, less than 59% obtain relief?
A study published in 2012 concluded that 33 percent of the patients on Prednisone, a medication used for the treatment of various allergic disorders, suffered adverse effects. If 90 patients with allergic disorders are selected randomly and administered Prednisone, what is the approximate probability that at most 20 of them will suffer adverse effects? 0.022 0.330 0.670 0.015 0.042
Use the given probability value to determine whether the sample results could easily occur by chance, then form a conclusion. A study of the effect of seatbelt use in head-on passenger car collisions found that drivers using a seatbelt had a 64.1% survival rate, while drivers not using a seatbelt had a 41.5% survival rate. If seatbelts have no effect on survival rate, there is less than a 0.0001 chance of getting these results. What do you conclude? The probability shows that the sample results ▼ could could not have easily occurred by chance. It appears that there ▼ is is not sufficient evidence to conclude that seatbelts do have an effect on survival rate.
