Estimation

A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.

Question

Apply Bayes’ theorem to find out the probability that a patient has disease of stiff neck.

Case Study:

A doctor is aware that disease meningitis causes a patient to have a stiff neck, and it occurs 80%

of the time. He is also aware of some more facts, which are given as follows:

•The Known probability that a patient has meningitis disease is 1/30,000.

•The Known probability that a patient has a stiff neck is 2%.

Suppose that Stephen makes 95% of his free throws. Assume that late in a basketball game, he is fouled and is awarded two shots. (a) What is the probability that he will make both shots? (b) What is the probability that he will make at least one shot? (c) What is the probability that he will miss both shots? (d) Late in a basketball game, a team often intentionally fouls an opposing player in order to stop the game clock. The usual strategy is to intentionally foul the other team's worst free- throw shooter. Assume that Stephen's team's center makes 57% of his free-throw shots. Calculate the probabilities for the center as shown in parts (a), (b), and (c). Assume as in parts (a), (b), and (c) that two shots will be awarded. P(center makes two shots) = P(center makes at least one shot) = P(center misses both shots) =

Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 , inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

What is the probability that none will deliver prematurely? What is the probability that fewer than 3 will deliver prematurely? What is the probability that none will deliver prematurely if in fact the true percentage who deliver prematurely is 5.5%? Interpret findings compared to part a. If the true percentage is 10% and this obstetrician has 146 pregnant women under his care, how many would be expected to deliver prematurely?
