Buses arrive at a specified stop at 15-minute intervals starting at 7 A.M. That is, they arrive at 7, 7:15, 7:30, 7:45, and so on. If a passenger arrives at the stop at a time that is uniformly distributed between 7 and 7:30, find the probability that he waits. (a) less than 5minutes for a bus; (b) more than 10 minutes for a b

Q: A certain virus infects one in every 20 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person delivers positive outcome at 85% accuracy for infected persons. Moreover, it provides negative outcome for healthy persons at 95% accuracy. Compute followings: Find the probability that a person has the virus given that his test outcome is positive. Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that his test outcome is negative. Find the probability that a person has the virus given that his test outcome is negative.

A screening test for a particular infectious disease shows a positive test result in 90% of all cases when the disease is actually present, and in 10% of all cases when it is not. Assume that t% of the population is infected, where t is = 1. For a randomly chosen from the population person, find the probability that the person is actually infected if the test shows positive.
