It has been discovered that 5% of drivers stopped at a traffic stop had traces of alcohol on their person, and 10% of those stopped do not use seat belts. Furthermore, it has been discovered that the two offenses are unrelated to one another. Calculate the probability that exactly three of the five drivers stopped at random have committed either of the two offenses. 0.0543 0.5430 0.0223 0.0243

A laboratory blood test is 99 percent effective in detecting a certain disease when it is, in fact, present. However, the test also yields a "false positive" result for 1 percent of the healthy persons tested. (That is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability .01, the test result will imply he or she has the disease.) If .5 percent of the population has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?

The probability the shipment will be rejected is (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
Suppose there is a 11.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is a jogger. In addition, there is a 15.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female, given that he or she jogs.
