In a certain year, it was estimated that 1,000,000 of the 307,000,000 residents of the United States are HIV-positive. (HIV is the virus that is believed to cause AIDS.) The Repeatedly Reactive Immunoassay (RRIA) diagnostic test correctly diagnoses the presence of AIDS/HIV 99.7% of the time and correctly diagnoses its absence 98.5% of the time. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIV.(b) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative does not have HIV.(c) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive does not have HIV.(d) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative actually has HIV.(e) Which of the probabilities would you be interested in if you or someone close to you tested positive? the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIVthe probability that a person whose test results are negative does not…
Suppose the average tread-life of a certain brand of tire is 45,000 miles and that this mileage follows the exponential probability distribution. What is the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life between 30,000 and 50,000 miles?
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
