Question

100%

A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. False positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 5.36% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that given a negative result the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that the person will be misclassified?

Pregnant women are screened for a birth defect called Down syndrome. Down syndrome babies are mentally and physically challenged. Some mothers choose to abort the fetus when they are certain that their baby will be born with the syndrome. The most common screening is maternal serum screening, a blood test that looks for markers in the blood to indicate whether the birth defect may occur. The false-positive and false-negative rates vary according to the age of the mother.

A study reported that about 40% of high school students have tried out for a sport at their school. To find out if this applies to Jessica’s school, she surveyed an SRS of 20 students. Nine of them said that they had tried out for a sport. To see if this result is surprising, a simulation is to be conducted to estimate the probability of obtaining a sample result as high as this one. Let 0–3 represent students who tried out for a sport and 4–9 represent students who did not try out for a sport. Using the line of random numbers to run one simulation, what proportion of students tried out for a sport? 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.60
