It is estimated that approximately 8.12% Americans are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a certain diagnostic evaluation for diabetes will correctly diagnose 94.5% of all adults over with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 2.5% of all adults over without diabetes as having the disease. a) Find the probability that a randomly selected adult over does not have diabetes, and is diagnosed as having diabetes (such diagnoses are called "false positives"). b) Find the probability that a randomly selected adult of is diagnosed as not having diabetes. c) Find the probability that a randomly selected adult over actually has diabetes, given that he/she is diagnosed as not having diabetes (such diagnoses are called "false negatives").

On average, 21 out of every 100 emails exchanged are spam emails. Filters on email services attempt to flag spam emails as they are received. One such filter has a 73% chance of flagging an email if it is actually spam and a 27% chance of flagging an email that is not spam. a. What is the probability that an incoming email is spam and flagged? b. What is the probability that the next incoming email will be flagged? c. All emails that are not flagged are sent to the user’s inbox. If an email reaches a user’s inbox, what is the probability that it is a spam email?
A global research study found that the majority of today's working women would prefer a better work-life balance to an increased salary. One of the most important contributors to work-life balance identified by the survey was "flexibility," with 43% of women saying that having a flexible work schedule is either very important or extremely important to their career success. Suppose you select a sample of 100 working women What is the probability that in the sample between 35% and 47% say that having a flexible work schedule is either very important or extremely important to their career success?
In a 2018 study, it was determined that 14% of Americans smoke. In a separate study, it was determined 9% of smokers die of lung cancer, and 1% of non-smokers die of lung cancer. Assuming these values hold true today, find the following: a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person is a smoker and died of lung cancer? b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person dies of lung cancer? c. What is the probability that a randomly selected person is a smoker or died of lung cancer?
1. The American Journal of Public Health (July 1995) published a study of the relationshipbetween passive smoking and nasal allergies in Japanese female students. The study revealedthat 80% of students from heavy-smoking families showed sign of nasal allergies on physicalexaminations. Consider a sample of 25 Japanese female students exposed daily to heavysmoking. d. What is the probability that more than 15 of the students will NOT have nasal allergies?e. What is the probability that more than 15 but fewer than 20 will have nasal allergies?
3.7% of a population are infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely accurate. 90.2% of those who have the disease test positive. However, 3.9% of those who do not have the disease also test positive (false positives). A person is randomly selected and tested for the disease. What is the probability that the person has the disease given that the test result is positive?

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 20% of Americans contract the influenza virus each year, and approximately 3% of all births in the United States result in birth defects each year. Consider two randomly selected Americans and assume that these two randomly selected Americans are independent of each other. The probability that neither of these two randomly selected Americans will contract the influenza virus in a given year is
