Question 26Based on current data (November 2021) the annualized probability of a randomly selectedunvaccinated person in B.C. being hospitalized with Covid is 2.68%. The probability for a randomlydrawn vaccinated person is 0.135%, and the probability for a partially vaccinated person is 0.723%.Use the ratio of partially vaccinated to fully vaccinated hospitalization probabilities to calculate howmuch more likely a partially vaccinated person is to be hospitalized. Using two significant digits afterthe decimal point, the answer is that a partially vaccinated person is abouttimes more likely tobe hospitalized.

Introduction: The two conditions of interest here are being partially vaccinated, and being fully…

Answered: Based on current data (November 2021)…

The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.002. In tests for the virus, blood sample tests from 13 people are combined. What is the probability that hte combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus.
A blood bank asserts that a person with type O blood and a negative Rh factor (Rh−) can donate blood to any person with any blood type. Their data show that 49% of people have type O blood and 17% of people have Rh− factor; 52% of people have type O or Rh− factor. A. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh− factor. B. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh− factor.
Car tyres come in many different brands. Even on a car, the tyres can wear out after travelling different distances, due to cornering, braking and wheel alignment. Manufacturers of car tyres are interested in the average distance in kilometres travelled by tyres, or the lifetime of tyres until they are considered un-usable and need to be replaced. At this time a tyre is considered un roadworthy

Electrical engineers recognize that high neutral current in computer power systems is a potential problem. A survey of computer power system load currents at U.S. sites found that 10% of the sites had high neutral to full-load current ratios (IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications). If a random sample of five computer power systems is selected from a large number of sites in the country, what is the probability that exactly three will have a high neutral to full-current load ratio?
Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 860860 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5050 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.470.47. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.470.47 against that it is >0.47>0.47, find the p-value. p=p=
A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of a certain disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.74. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.04. It is estimated that 14 % of the population who take this test have the disease.If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?
a statistics professor has stated that 90% of his studnets pass the class. to check this claim, a random sample of 150 students who have taken the class indicated that 129 passed the class.

The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. Still supposing that one-third of all American households own a pet cat, between what two values do you expect 95% of all sample proportions to fall?
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 433 green peas and 121 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of the mysterious Brainlesserian disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.82. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.08. It is estimated that 18 % of the population who take this test have the disease. If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?
