Question 4Suppose that in a population of twins, males (M) and females (F) are equally likely to occurand that the probability that twins are identical is 0. If twins are not identical, their gendersare independent (if they are identical, their genders are the same).(i) Show that, ignoring birth order, P(MM) = P(FF) = (1+0)/4 and P(MF) = (1–0)/2.(ii) Suppose that n twins are sampled. It is found that n₁ are MM, n2 are FF, and nëare MF, but it is not known which twins are identical. Find the maximum likelihoodestimator of 0.

The following solution is provided below:

Oliver knows that a virus is relatively virulent and estimates that 15% of the population has the disease. Due to limitations in technology, Oliver cannot develop a testing kit that wrongly predicts a healthy individual to be positive less than 1.5% of the time. How accurate, in terms of the probability that an infected individual is tested positive, must Oliver get his test kit to, in order to achieve a probability of correctly identifying the disease given that the test is positive of at least 90%?
In a certain year, the probability that a randomly selected vehicle would be involved in a deadly tire-related accident was approximately 5 × 10−6 whereas the probability that a tire-related accident would prove deadly was 0.04. What was the probability that a vehicle would be involved in a tire-related accident?
(Ch5.4 #7) Suppose that on the average a certain type of magnetic tape contains on the average three defects per 1000 feet. What's the probability that that a roll of tape 1200 feet long contain no defects?
From past experience, a company has found that in a carton of transistors, 92% contain no defective transistors, 3% contain one defective transistor, 3% contain two defective transistors, and 2% contain three defective transistors. xx p(x)p(x) 0 0.92 1 0.03 2 0.03 3 0.02 1) What is the probability that a carton has more that 2 defective transistors?

A report by the New York Times in 2022 indicated that, on average, a married woman in the United States goes out with her female friends an average of 5.7 times peryear. A student at Century College conducts a study of her own by randomly surveying married women in White Bear Lake and obtained this data for the number of times in a year: 3 1 1 3 7 2 9 4 6 4 3 8 0 5 6 4 0 1 3 0 Use your calculator to determine the mean and standard deviation for this sample. Then, at the level of significance, Test the claim that married women in White Bear Lake, on average, go out with their female friends less than the overall national average. Be complete, show every step including hypotheses, a labelled graph, and clearly state the final result. Do not use the P-value method. Explain what the final result means in the context of this problem.

Suppose you were selected from a population at random to take a medical test. It is believed that there is a 5% chance that you are ill (i.e. you have the disease), since that is the disease prevalence for asymptomatic people like yourself. Suppose that the test you take has some error rate. If you are ill, it will correctly identify you as positive 90% of the time. If you not ill, it will give a false positive 2% of the time. What is probability that you are ill given a positive test result?
Example 1: If the probability that an individual suffers a bad reaction from a certain injection is 0.001, determine the probability that out of 2000 individuals (i) exactly 3 (ii) more than 2 individuals (iii) none (iv) more than one individual suffer a bad reaction.
A sample is selected from one of two populations, S, and S₂, with P(S₁) = 0.6 and P(S₂) = 0.4. The probabilities that an event A occurs, given that event S, or S₂ has occurred are P(A|S₂) = = 0.4 and P(AIS₂) = 0.3 and the probability of event A is P(A) = 0.36. Use Bayes' Rule to find P(S, IA). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) Items are inspected for flaws by two quality inspectors. If a flaw is present, it will be detected by the first inspector with probability 0.8, and by the second inspector with probability 0.6. Assume the inspectors function independently. (i) . If an item has a flaw, what is the probability that it will be found by both inspectors? (ii). If an item has a flaw, what is the probability that it will be found by at least one of the two inspectors? (iii). Assume that the second inspector examines only those items that have been passed by the first inspector. If an item has a flaw, what is the probability that the second inspector will find it? (iv) If an item has a flaw, what is the probability that first inspector will not find it or the second inspector will not find it?
In the sport of basketball, a player will sometimes get the opportunity to shoot two free throws without being affected by any other players in the game. Assume that, for one player, these two free throws are independent of each other. If this player makes free throws 80% of the time, what is the probability that this player will make neither free throw in the opportunity?
Example 2: Let p be the probability that a coin will fall head in a single toss. In order to test the hypothesis H, : p = 1/2, the coin is tossed 6 times and the hypotheses H, is rejected if more than 4 heads are obtained. Find the probability of the error of the first kind. If the alternative hypothesis is H1 : p = 3/4, find the probability of the error of second kind.
