In 2009, the CDC estimated that 1,100,000 of the 305,000,000 residents of the United States are HIV-positive. The RRIA diagnostic test correctly diagnoses the presences of AIDS/HIV 99.7% of the time, and correctly diagnoses its absence 98.5% of the time. • Find the probability that a perosn whose test results are negative actually has HIV • Which of the scenarios above is a false positive? Which is a false negative?

A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. Flase positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 5.36% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?
Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 960960 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5252 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.490.49. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.490.49 against that it is >0.49>0.49, find the p-value. p=p=
Teenagers who do not sleep well or long enough may have a higher risk of raised blood pressure, which could lead to cardiovascular disease later in life. The odds of raised blood pressure increase 3.5 times for those who have trouble falling asleep at night or who wake up too early and 2.5 times for those with sleeping periods of fewer than 6.5 hours. A health psychologist is interested in studying teenagers who have diastolic blood pressure scores in the top 20%. Diastolic blood pressure scores for teenagers follow a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 10. Use the Distributions tool to help answer the questions that follow. The minimum z-score necessary to be in the top 20% of the diastolic blood pressure distribution is z =0.842 . Use this z-score to determine X, the corresponding diastolic blood pressure score. X = 80.42 This score, X, is the 80th percentile of diastolic blood pressure scores among teenagers. The percentile rank of this score is 80%…
29 percent of all Samsung cell phones are submitted for service while under warranty. Of these, 66 percent can be repaired, whereas the other 34 percent must be replaced with new units. If a company purchases 12 Samsung cell phones, what is the probability that exactly 2 will end up being replaced under warranty? What would the mean number of cell phones being replaced under warranty be? What would be the variance be for the cell phones being replaced by warranty?.
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?

Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 890890 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5555 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.530.53. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.530.53 against that it is >0.53>0.53, find the p-value. ?=p=
