a. What is the probability that a water source is polluted if the inspection reports a negative results?b. What is the probability that the water is not polluted if the inspection reports that there is no red alerts? Context for questions A5-A6. Bayesian probability. Environmental inspections of water qualityare difficult. The Environmental Protection Agency monitors water pollution through chemicalinspections. Suppose the inspections generate a red alert to the EPA systems when the pollutionof a water source is extremely high to the point that the water must not be used at all. But suchsensors are imperfecr Assume that the inspections have incorrect reports 5% of the time.Assume that 3% of the water sources in the United States are so polluted that the water mustnot be used.

4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
