Estimation

A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.

Question

A certain malaria detecting has a known reliability. When administered to a person infected by malaria parasite, the test will indicate the presence of the parasite with 0.90 probability. When administered to a healthy person, the probability that it will give erroneous result is 0.035. The reagent is used to test for malaria in a relatively malaria-free community with an infection rate of 0.05% of the population. Suppose a person selected at random from the entire population is administered the test and the result is positive, determine the posterior probability that the person is infected by the parasite.

The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.75 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.02 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 60 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 60 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less?

Suppose that having a widow's peak was a dominant trait (W) compared to not having a widow's peak (w). In a sample size of 30 students, 15 were observed to have a widow's peak and 15 did not have a widow's peak. The expected frequency of a widow's peak is 75% chance of getting it and a 25% chance of not getting it. Perform a chi square analysis to see if the data above agrees with the predicted outcome.
