IS ploye mpany. niy, corofnavirus (which caused 3 out of 4 of his colleague, Jamie's, family to be infected). Oliver knows that the virus is relatively virulent and estimates that 15% of the population has the disease. Due to limitations in technology, Oliver cannot develop a testing kit that wrongly predicts a healthy individual to be positive less than 1.5% of the time. How accurate, in terms of the probability that an infected individual is tested positive, must Oliver get his test kit to, in order to achieve a probability of correctly identifying the disease given that the test is positive of at least 90%? (Leave your answer in terms of percentages, rounded to the nearest one decimal place. DO NOT key in % into your answer.)

The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 19.1% daily failure rate. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam?
A component of a spacecraft has both a main system and a backup system operating throughout a flight. The probability that both systems fail sometime during the flight is 0.0148. Assuming that both systems, considered separately, have the same failure rate, what is the probability that the main system fails during the flight?
A article recently reported that 65% of American adults said they would get the COVID vaccine if they were given the opportunity. Imagine I took a random sample of 700 American adults and found 68% of my sample said they would get the COVID vaccine if they were given the opportunity. What is the chance I would get results like this if the true proportion were 65%? Use the sampling distribution of the proportion to find the probability that I would get 68% or more from my sample willing to take the vaccine given a true proportion of 65%. Show your work on paper including what you are entering into technology and put your answer in a complete sentence.
A community of researchers is testing a large number of hypotheses. They reject a hypothesis when the data are significant at the .05 level. Suppose 30% of the hypotheses are true. And when a hypothesis is false, the probability of getting statistically significant data at the .05 level is 3/20. If a hypothesis is rejected, what is the probability it really is false?
Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from two people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then bothsamples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.1,find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? A. The probability is low, so further testing will be necessary for all of the combined mixtures. B. The probability is low, so further testing of the individual samples will be a rarely necessary event. C. The probability is not low, so further…
When functioning correctly, a machine produces switches with a 0.8% defective rate. Find the probability that a batch of 1,000 switches contains 14 or more defective switches (assuming that the machine functions correctly, i.e., the population defective rate is 0.8%). Suppose a batch of 1,000 switches were inspected when completed, and 14 defective switches were found. Based on your answer to part a, does this sample imply that the machine needs adjustment? Explain your answer.
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 51 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 5000 aspirin tablets actually has a 5% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 373 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
Both flu and covid produce fevers. You know from past research that 10% of the population gets flu each year, but it is possible to get both covid and flu. Assume that the probability of getting flu and covid are independent. If this year the percentage of people reporting fever is 20%, what percentage of the population has covid? Studies show that due to similar transmission of flu and covid, someone who has covid has a 20% chance of also getting flu. What then is the probability of someone who has flu also having covid? Given the conditional information above, what is a better estimate of the percentage of people who have covid given the 20% fever reporting?
In a new fiber-optic communication system, trans- mission errors occur at the rate of 1.5 per twenty seconds. What is the probability that more than five errors will occur during the next minute?
Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from six people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then all six samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.1, find the probability of a positive result for six samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? The probability of a positive test result is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) ~
