(Drawn from Exercise 12.7 from Bodine et al) Mary has just learned her father has been diagnosed with Huntington's chorea, which is caused by a single dominant allele D. There is no history of the disease in her mother's family, nor in her husband's. Both individuals may be assumed to be dd. a) Mary's father has been typed as Dd. What is the probability that at least one of Mary's two children will eventually suffer Huntington's? b) Mary's father has been typed as DD. What is the probability that at least one of Mary's two children will eventually suffer Huntington'?

Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of bubonic plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/3,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration's willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is no more than $100,000 $1,000,000 $50,000 $33,333
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

The state medical school has discovered a new test for tuberculosis. (If the test indicates a person has tuberculosis, the test is positive.) Experimentation has shown that the probability of a positive test is 0.77, given that a person has tuberculosis. The probability is 0.09 that the test registers positive, given that the person does not have tuberculosis. Assume that in the general population, the probability that a person has tuberculosis is 0.04. What is the probability that a person chosen at random will fall in the following categories? (Enter your answers to four decimal places.) have tuberculosis and have a positive testnot have tuberculosisnot have tuberculosis and have a positive test

A major traffic problem in the Greater Cincinnati area involves traffic attempting to cross the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Kentucky using Interstate 75. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.95 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes. (a) Assume that you are a motorist entering the traffic system and receive a radio report of a traffic delay. What is the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state? Note that this result is the probability of being in the delay state for two consecutive periods. = (b) What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state? (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) No Traffic Delay Traffic Delay π 1 =…
