Question: Probability, Bayes’ Theorem: A Covid-19 test produces false negatives 2% of the time and false positive 5% of the time. 10% of a city has the virus. Answer the following questions: If a person test negative, what is the probability that the person carries the virus? What is the probability that a person carrying the virus tests negative three times in a row through independent tests? What is the probability that someone who tests negative twice in a row of independent tests is a healthy person?

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.

(Topic: Total Probability and Bayes Theorem) A medical study is conducted on people who are tested positive for Covid-19. The study found that 15% of people have low-level in Vitamin D, 26% have medium-level in Vitamin D, and 59% have normal-level of Vitamin D. The study also found that persons who • Have low-level in Vitamin D are at 91% risk of dying from Covid-19. Have medium-level of Vitamin D are at 50% risk of dying from Covid-19. • Have normal-level of Vitamin D are at 14% risk of dying from Covid-19. 1. A person who is tested positive for Covid-19 is chosen randomly, what is the probability he will die from Covid-19? 00.5167 00.3491 00.039 00.5 2. A person who is tested positive for Covid-19 died, what is the probability he had low-level in Vitamin D? 0.391 00.1365 0.15 3. What is the probability that a person who is tested positive for Covid-19 has low-level in Vitamin D and dies? 00.391 0.15 00.91 O0.1365
A group of students is asked a question one at a time. Whether or not the students are able to answer the question correctly are independent Bernoulli trials with a 60% probability of the student questioned answering correctly. The expected number of students that needs to be questioned before getting three students who correctly answer the question is

A survey showed that 75% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 10 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 9 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 9 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that at least 9 of the 10 adults require eyesight correction is ____ (Round to three decimal places as needed) Is 9 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? Note that a small probability is one that is less than 0.05. A. Yes, because the probability of this occurring is small. B. No, because the probability of this occurring is small. C.Yes, because the probability of this occurring is not small. D. No, because the probability of this occurring is not small.
A farmer has six geese, each of which lays an egg with probability 2/3 (independently of all the other geese). Suppose that the farmer sells each egg for five gold coins. What is the variance of the number of coins received?
Wire manufactured by a company is tested for strength. The test gives a correct positive result with a probability of 0.85 when the wire is strong, but gives an incorrect positive result (false result) with a probability of 0.04 when in fact the wire is not strong. If 98% of the wires are strong, and a wire chosen at random fails the test, what is the probability it really is not strong enough?
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.
