It is known that 78% of people inoculated with a certain COVID19 vaccine are protected from the disease. If 120 people were inoculated, find the probability that (a) no one contracts the disease for the first time; (b) fewer than 50 people contracted the disease; (c) more than 70 people contracted the disease.

The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.002. In tests for the virus, blood sample tests from 13 people are combined. What is the probability that hte combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus.

Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
A drug manufacturer claims that their drug cures a certain blood disease 78% of the time. To check the claim, BFAD used the drug in a clinical trial of 100 individuals inflicted with the disease and decided to accept the claim if 70 or more are cured. What is the probability that the claim will be accepted when the cure probability is as low as 0.6?
