It is thought that 1 in 100 people in a population carry a specific defective gene. A sample of 200 people in this population are screened for this defect. Adopting (i) a binomial model, and (ii) a Poisson model, estimate the most probable number(s) of people found to have this defect in this sample, and evaluate the probability of this happening.

The Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers are two teams in the National Basketball Association. Washington and Philadelphia will play multiple times over the course of an NBA season. Assume that the Washington has a 25% probability of winning each game against the Philadelphia. Construct a simulation model that uses the negative binomial distribution to simulate the number of games Washington would lose before winning four games against the Philadelphia. Now suppose that the Wizards face the Philadelphia in a best-ofseven playoff series in which the first team to win four games out of seven wins the series. Using the simulation model from part (a), estimate that probability that the Washington would win a best-of-seven series against the Philadelphia 76ers.
According to the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau, in 2000, 9.5 percent of children in the state of Ohio were not covered by private or government health insurance. In the neighboring state of Pennsylvania, 4.9 percent of children were not covered by health insurance. Assume that these proportions are parameters for the child populations of the respective states. If a random sample of size 100 children is drawn from the Ohio population, and an independent random sample of size 120 is drawn from the Pennsylvania population, what is the probability that the samples would yield a difference, ^p1 - ^p2 of .09 or more?
Suppose we are planning a clinical trial and expect a 20% success rate in the active group and a 10% success rate in the placebo group. We expect to enroll 100 participants in each group and are interested in the power of the study. (a) Perform a simulation study, and generate 100 participants from a binomial distribution with p = 0.2 and 100 participants from a binomial distribution with p = 0.1. Test to determine whether the observed sample proportion of successes are significantly different, using a two-sided test with a = 0.05. (b) Repeat the Problem (a) simulation 1000 times, and compute the proportion of simulations in which a significant difference is found (i.e., an estimate of the power of the study).
what is the p value? is the p-value low? can we conclude?
