An insurance company issues policies of two types - 20% are of type A and the remainder are of type B. For the type A policies, 42% of the policyholders are female, while for type B policies, 34% of policyholders are male. If a policy is selected at random from those held by females, what is the probability that it is a type A policy?

A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between college students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentive and guaranteed placement programs) and college students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 90.8% for the college students admitted through special programs. If 10 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 9 of them graduated. prob = If 10 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that eactly 7 of them graduated. prob = Would it be unusual to randomly select 10 students from the special programs and get exactly 7 that graduate?

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.
