In a particular election it was estimated that the probability that Republican candidate would be elected was 3/5 , and that Democratic would be elected was 2/5 . Probability that research for a new manned bomber would continue when Republican were elected is 4/5 . When Democratic candidate were successful, then the probability that the research would continue was 3/10 .Research was terminated shortly after successful presidential candidate took office.What is the probability that the Republican won that election?

Suppose that a clinical test for a rare disease produces 97% true positives and 95% of true negatives. It is also known that only 0.5% of the general population has the disease. What is the probability that a randomly selected individual with a positive test has the disease? Give your answer correct to four decimal places.
Suppose that 20.56% of all vehicles on the road get a fuel economy of at least 35 miles per gallon (MPG). You conduct an observational study on a stretch of road outside of campus and record the make and model of 727 vehicles over a month long period. What is the probability that greater than 21.1% of the cars you observed get at least 35 MPG? (please show how to plug this into a scientific calculator) Question 4 options: 1) 0.3593 2) 0.5000 3) <0.0001 4) -23.9437 5) 0.6407

4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
Q. 1 It is estimated that 80% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach our inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails, and the probability for a false positive (a non-spam email detected as spam) is 5%. Now if an email is detected as spam, then what is the probability that it is in fact a non-spam email? event A: email is spam; event B: email is detected as spam. Assume that
Question 1 A store-bought pregnancy test produces a correct result 99% of the time when a woman is actually pregnant but is only 97% accurate when a woman is not pregnant. What are the chances of a false positive and a false negative respectively? Question 2 Assuming a woman has a 90% chance of actually being pregnant when she takes the test, and that she takes TWO tests (requiring the same signal from both tests to either confirm OR reject) what is the probability of she will get a "double positive" result? Also, what is the probability of an "uncertain" result (one of each)?
Do question 2
Suppose that if person with tuberculosis is given a TB screening, the probability that his or her condition will be detected is 0.90. If a person without tuberculosis is given a TB screening , the probability that he or she will be diagnosed incorrectly as having tuberculosis is 0.3. Suppose, further, that 11% of the adult residents of a certain city have tuberculosis. If one of these adults is diagnosed as having tuberculosis based on the screening, what is the probability that he or she actually has tuberculosis?
Thank you. I'm not sure about the result for the second question. What I'm having a hard time with is the probability that a total of 30 of the 546 crashes have occurred in the 48 time windows. My data shows that crashes occurred in 25 of these 48 time windows, with 3 in one of these and 2 in three others.
QUESTION 3 At a particular garage 20% of the cars that arrive for repair have engine trouble. Upon arrival at the garage an engine diagnostic test is carried out on the car, but this engine diagnostic test is far from perfect. If the car has engine trouble the diagnostic test will turn out positive with a probability of 0.9. If the car does not have engine trouble, the diagnostic test will turn out positive with a probability of 0.05. For each of the questions below explain your answer i.e. show your reasoning. Q 3(d) If 10 cars arrive to the garage on a particular day, what is the probability that: (i) (ii) none of the cars will have engine trouble. the first car with engine trouble that arrives to the garage that day will be the 4th car.
