Exercise 15 2 percent of the population of a country are infected with a virus. The tests for antibodies against the virus are often, but not always, correct. In infected people, 95% of the tests show a positive result. In healthy people, 3% of the tests are positive. (i) Compute the probability that a person with a positive test is not infected (false positive test). (ii) Compute the probability that a person with a negative test is really not infected (true negative test).

The probability that a person has a certain disease is 0.05. Medical diagnostic tests are available to determine whether the person actually has the disease. If the disease is actually present, the probability that the medical diagnostic test will give a positive result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.92. If the disease is not actually present, the probability of a positive test result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.04. a. If the medical diagnostic test has given a positive result (indicating that the disease is present), what is the probability that the disease is actually present? b. If the medical diagnostic test has given a negative result (indicating that the disease is not present), what is the probability that the disease is not present?
A blood bank asserts that a person with type O blood and a negative Rh factor (Rh−) can donate blood to any person with any blood type. Their data show that 49% of people have type O blood and 17% of people have Rh− factor; 52% of people have type O or Rh− factor. A. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh− factor. B. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh− factor.
69% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is (a) at least six, and (b) less than four.
Based on a survey, assume that 33% of consumers are comfortable having drones deliver their purchases. Suppose we want to find the probability that when six consumers are randomly selected, exactly three of them are comfortable with the drones. What is wrong with using the multiplication rule to find the probability of getting three consumers comfortable with drones followed by three consumers not comfortable, as in this calculation: (0.33)(0.33)(0.33)(0.67)(0.67)(0.67) = 0.0108? Choose the correct answer below. A. The event that a consumer is comfortable with drones is not mutually exclusive with the event that a consumer is not comfortable with drones. B. The probability of the second consumer being comfortable with drones cannot be treated as being independent of the probability of the first consumer being comfortable with drones. O C. There are other arrangements consisting of three consumers who are comfortable and three who are not. The probabilities corresponding to those other…
When snow and rainfall occur together, it is known as sleet. On any given day the probability that it rains is 0.6, the probability that it snows is 0.5 and the probability that it rains and snows is 0.20. Calculate the probabilty that it rains or it snows.
1% of all products in a factory are defective. During quality control, a test is applied that detects a defective product with a probability of 0.99, and in 1% of cases it incorrectly rejects a correct product. Find the probability that the product that is rejected is actually correct, as well as the probability that the product that is accepted in the test as correct is in fact defective.
Roll two dice and observe the numbers coming up. Define two events by: A="the sum is six," and B-"the numbers are not equal." Find and compare P(B) and P(BIA).
All human blood can be "ABO-typed" as one of O, A, B, or AB, but the distribution of the types varies a bit among groups of people. Here is the distribution of blood types for a randomly chosen person in a country. Blood type A National probability 0.43 0.12 AB ? (a) What is the national probability of type AB blood? O 0.41 (b) Maria has type B blood. She can safely receive blood transfusions from people with blood types O and B. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person from this country can donate blood to Maria?
