Heart failure is due to either natural occurrences (81%) or outside factors (19%). Outside factors are related to induced substances or foreign objects. Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage, disease, and infection. Assume that causes of heart failure between individuals are independent. (a) What is the probability that the 1st patient with heart failure that enters the emergency room has the condition due to outside factors? (b) What is the probability that the 3rd patient with heart failure that enters the emergency room is the first one due to outside factors? (c) What is the mean number of heart failure patients with the condition due to natural causes that enter the emergency room until the 1st patient with heart failure from outside factors? (a) i Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). (b) i Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). (c) i Round to the nearest integer.

A certain disease affects about 1 out of 10, 000 people. There is a test to check whether the person has the disease. The test is quite accurate. In particular, we know that • the probability that the test result is positive (suggesting the person has the disease), given that the person does not have the disease, is only 2 percent; • the probability that the test result is negative (suggesting the person does not have the disease), given that the person has the disease, is only 1 percent. A random person gets tested for the disease and the result comes back positive. What is the probability that the person has the disease?
The probability of a thunderstorm on Memorial Day is 0.13 and the probability of a thunderstorm on Independence Day is 0.59. Assuming that these two are Independent, what is the probability of thunderstorms on both Memorial and Independence Day?
Heart failure is due to either natural occurrences (87%) or outside factors (13%). Outside factors are relatedto induced substances or foreign objects. Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage, disease, and infection. Assume that causes of heart failure for the individuals are independent. a. What is the probability that the first patient with heart failure who enters the emergency room has the condition due to outside factors?b. What is the probability that the third patient with heart failure who enters the emergency room is the first one due to outside factors?c. What is the mean number of heart failure patients with the condition due to natural causes who enter the emergency room before the first patient with heart failure from outside factors?
A common practice of airline companies is to sell more tickets for a particular flight than there are seats on the plane, because customers who buy tickets do not always show up for the flight. Suppose that the percentage of no-shows at flight time is 2%. For a particular flight with 246 seats, a total of 250 tickets were sold. What is the probability that the airline overbooked this flight?
One prominent physician claims that 70% of those with lung cancer are chain smokers. If his assertion is correct, (a) find the probability that of 10 such patients recently admitted to a hos- pital, fewer than half are chain smokers; (b) find the probability that of 20 such patients recently admitted to a hos- pital, fewer than half are chain smokers.
A radio device consists of 1000 electronic elements. The probability of nonoperation for one element during one year of operation is 0.001 and is independent of the condition of the other elements. What is the probability that at least two elements will fail to operate during a year?
A recent survey showed that 18% of MIS students have experienced some form ofanxiety during the pandemic, and that 24% are taking vitamin pills daily. Eightpercent of all students have both experienced some form of anxiety and taken vitamindaily.a) What is the probability that a student who has anxiety takes vitamin daily?b) What is the probability that a student who takes vitamin daily has anxiety?c) What is the probability that a student has anxiety or takes vitamin daily?
An airline tracks data on its flight arrivals. Over the past six months, 70 flights on one route arrived early, 150 arrived on time, 15 were late, and 25 were canceled. What is the probability that a flight is early? On-time? Late? Canceled? Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? What is the probability that a flight is either early or on time? How can I calculate this problem in excel since it is business statistics?
A survey of athletes at a high school is conducted, and the following facts are discovered: 19% of the athletes are football players, 28% are basketball players, and 2% of the athletes play both football and basketball. An athlete is chosen at random from the high school: what is the probability that he is either a football player or a basketball player? Probability = % (Please enter your answer as a percentage)

Composite blood testing is sometimes used to save costs. A Hepatitis-C composite blood test means that when several blood samples are mixed together and tested for Hepatitis- C. The probability of testing positive for Hepatitis-C in a certain population is 0.490. If 4 bloodsamples are mixed together, what is the probability that composite sample would be positive (in other words, what is the probability that at least one of the people in the group is positive for Hepatitis-C)?
