Jade, a 20-year-old female, has a brother that died as the result of a neonatal lethal recessive disorder that has an incidence of 1/40,000 in the general population. What is the probability that she and her unrelated husband’s first child will be affected with the same genetic disorder even after normal carrier screening for both individuals that has a 99% sensitivity?

More than a decade ago, high levels of lead in the blood put 88% of children at risk. A concerted effort was made to remove lead from the environment. Now, according to the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, only 9% of children in the United States are at risk of high blood-lead levels. In a random sample of 200 children taken now, what is the probability that 50 or more have high blood-lead levels? [2]

Pregnant women are screened for a birth defect called Down syndrome. Down syndrome babies are mentally and physically challenged. Some mothers choose to abort the fetus when they are certain that their baby will be born with the syndrome. The most common screening is maternal serum screening, a blood test that looks for markers in the blood to indicate whether the birth defect may occur. The false-positive and false-negative rates vary according to the age of the mother.

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?
According to Johns Hopkins data, the mortality rate of Covid-19 for the USA and the UK respectively 1.7% and 2.7%.It is expected that next week there will be 1,200,000 (1.2 million) and 238,000 Covid-19 cases for the US and the UK, respectively.Deaths in the USA and the UK assuming independent, Covid-19 for US and UK next week Find the probability that the total number of deaths is at least 27,000.Hint: Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Data from a large national study reports that 10% of pregnant women deliver prematurely. A local obstetrician is seeing 16 pregnant women in his next clinic session. What is the probability that none will deliver prematurely? What is the probability that fewer than 3 will deliver prematurely? What is the probability that none will deliver prematurely if in fact the true percentage who deliver prematurely is 5.5%? Interpret findings compared to part a. If the true percentage is 10% and this obstetrician has 146 pregnant women under his care, how many would be expected to deliver prematurely?
Dementia is the loss of the intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. Researchers explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. Research has shown that the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is 55 years, and the population standard deviation is 6.8 years.yt What is the probability a single person will be diagnosed with early-onset dementia is less than 50 years? Do we know if the sample mean of samples of size 20 is normally distributed or not? Explain.
