Around 5 percent of patients actually have mononucleosis p(M) = .05. 90 percent of patients with mono complain of a sore throat p(S|M) = .9 but 30 percent of those without mono also complain of a sore throat p(S|M’) = .3. Given that a patient complains of a sore throat, what is the probability that she has mono p(M|S)?

Suppose a cashier gives you a dollar coin in change. Because you have no reason to distrust this coin your prior is very high that this is a fair coin. In fact, your prior belief of the probability of the coin to give heads p(H) is the following probability distribution: p (p(H) = 0) = C 05⁰ (1 - 0)5⁰ de where C is just a normalization constant for the distribution to sum to 1: 60/110 1/2 61/112 You decide to flip the coin 10 times, and all 10 times it turns out head. What is your maximum likelihood estimate for the probability of the coin to give heads? 0 11/12 1 C 59/108 = 1 S²05⁰ (1 - 0) 5⁰
Porphyrin is a pigment in blood and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a random variable that represents the number of milligrams of porphyrin per deciliter of blood. In healthy adults x is approximately normally distributed with μ = 38 and σ = 12. What is the probability that x is less than 60?
The time taken by brake discs to overheat on construction equipment is normally distributed with µ=4.5 and ơ=0.45 What is the probability that the time to overheat is less than 3.8 minutes?
Researchers developed a "cat IQ test" and find that the population of cats in the United States has a mean score of u = 25 on this test with a standard deviation of g = 3. You decide to test a sample of n = 45 cats to do some research about whether some breeds are smarter. You collect your sample of n = 45 cats and find their mean cat IQ is M = 25.5. What is the probability of this sample? That is, what is p(M>25.5)?
The probability that a randomly selected man from the certain age group runs slower than 4.36 mph is 0.2119. (You can check this, for practice, but it's true.) Calculate the probability the man runs between 4.36 and 6.2 mph, using this and your answer to the previous question. To help you accomplish this, consider the following three pictures of areas under the normal bell curve. This depicts the probability the man is slower than 6.2 mph. -3 This depicts the probability the man is slower than 4.36 mph. -3 -2 -2 -1 0 1 2 2 님! 3 3 F

The time it takes me to ride my bike to school is uniformly distributed between 27 minutes and 36 minutes What is the probability that I can ride my bike to school in under 35 minutes? Give your answer accurate to two decimal places.
Suppose we are conducting a hypertension-screening program in the home. Consider all possible pairs of DBP measurements of the mother and father within a given mixed gender family, assuming that the mother and father are not genetically related. In particular, we might be interested in whether the mother or father is hypertensive, which is described, respectively, by events A = {mother's DBP ≥ 90}, B = {father's DBP ≥ 90}. Suppose we know that Pr(A) = 0.09, Pr(B) = 0.21. Let X be the random variable representing the number of hypertensive adults in a given mixed gender family. (a) Derive the probability-mass function for X. X 0 1 2 1 1 1 (c) What is its variance? Pr(x = x) X (b) What is its expected value? x < 0 (d) What is its cumulative-distribution function? 0 < x < 1 1
