Q. 1 Suppose that 4.5% of all adults over 50 have cancer. A certair physician correctly diagnoses 94% of all adults over 50 with cance as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 4% of all adults ove 50 without cancer as having the disease. (i) Draw a tree diagram and label it with appropriate probabilities. (ii) Find the probability that a randomly-selected adult over 50 i diagnosed as not having cancer. (iii) Find the probability that a randomly-selected adult over 50 actually has cancer, given that he/she is diagnosed as not having cancer

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. What is the probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs? Would it be unusual to randomly select a person aged 35 years or older who is female and jogs?

According to Mendel’s theory, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, the corresponding probabilities are 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, and 1/16 for tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, respectively. If 8 plants are selected, find the probability that 1 will be tall and colorful, 3 will be tall and colorless, 3 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.(4 decimal digits)

A manufacturer wishes to estimate the accuracy of its final visual inspection process. A random sample of 180 devices is selected from production. An item is defective or “bad” if it contains at least one visually noticeable cosmetic defect. The process improvement team agrees that the sample contains 27 bad items and 153 good items. The team gives the items to a “certified” operator for inspection. The operator rejects 10 good pieces and accepts 11 bad pieces and classifies the remainder correctly. What is the probability that the inspector will reject an item? P(inspector will reject an item) = ________%. Enter value using one decimal place.
