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)?

Keith wonders if pet groomers in his area charge, on average, less than $50, the national average. Keith takes a random sample of 30 pet groomers from his area and gets x = $46. He then conducts a t-test for H₁: µ = 50 versus H: <50. The significance test yields a P-value of 0.103. Which interpretation of this value is correct? The probability that a pet groomer charges under $50 is 0.103. The probability that this test resulted in a Type II error is 0.103. O If this test were repeated many times, we would make a Type I error 10.3% of the time. Assuming that the mean cost of pet grooming is really $50, there is a 0.103 probability of getting a sample mean of $46 or less just by chance. O Assuming that the mean cost of pet grooming is less than $50, there is a 0.103 probability of getting a sample mean as far from $50 as in our sample.
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
A sample of n = 4 scores is selected from a population with µ = 70 and s = 10. The probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than 65 is p = 0.8413. True False
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?
Suppose that 0.7% of male professional golfers use steroids, and that Max is a male professional golfer who has been randomly selected to take a drug test. The test he has been asked to take has a false positive rate of 1% and a false negative rate of 10%. Use Bayes’ rule to calculate the probability that Max actually uses steroids if he tests positive for steroid use. Give your answer as a decimal precise to three decimal places.
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
Let X be a normal random variable with mean 85 and a variance of 25 (i.e., X ∼ N (85, 25)). step1: Let M = aX + b for some constants a, b not equal to 0. Write an expression for the pdf of M . step 2: Suppose that X represents an approximate distribution of the final scores in a certain math course (ignore the fact that this approximation can technically have scores that are greater than 100 or less than 0). If the teacher were to curve the scores, it means he would determine a function to apply to the scores to achieve a desired distribution (assume an affine function in this case, as in the previous part). Suppose he wants the scores to be normally distributed with mean 80 and a standard deviation of 4. What should he choose for a and b? What students would see their score lowered, and what students would see their score increased?

Suppose that a medical test has a 85% chance of detecting a disease if the person has it (P(PT|D)=0.85) and a 90% chance of correctly indicating that the disease is absent if the person really does not have the disease (P(NT|Dc=0.90). Suppose that 95% of the population does not have the disease P(Dc)=0.95 What is the probability that a randomly chosen person will test negative P(NT)?
Consider the problem of diagnosing a rare disease. Let’s say the occurrence of thisdisease is one in a thousand i.e. P(D = +) = 0.001. There is a test T which correctlyidentifies the disease 99.9% of the time, i.e. P(T = +|D = +) = 0.999. However, italso has a false positive rate of 0.02, i.e. P(T = +|D = −) = 0.02 i. If a random person from the population is tested, what is the probability they willreceive a positive test, i.e. P(T = +)? ii. Given that the test is positive, what is the probability that the person has the disease,i.e. P(D = +|T = +)?
'Melanoma' is a form of skin cancer and each year 17% of the patients who suffer from the disease die. A random sample of 10,000 melanoma patients is formed at the start of a year. Let Y denote the number of patients in this sample who will die during the year? (a) What is the expected value of Y? That is, compute E(Y). Answer: [Select] (b) What is the variance of Y? That is, compute var(Y). Answer: [Select] (c) What is the probability that Y exceeds 1,800? That is, compute P(Y> 1,800). Answer: [Select]
