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.

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)

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?

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.

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.
