drug manufacturer claims that their drug cures a certain blood disease 78% of the time. To check the claim, BFAD used the drug in a clinical trial of 100 individuals inflicted with the disease and decided to accept the claim if 70 or more are cured. What is the probability that the claim will be accepted when the cure probability is as low as 0.6?

A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of a certain disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.74. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.04. It is estimated that 14 % of the population who take this test have the disease.If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?

Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
