Suppose a lung cancer test is 85% sensitive and 93% specific. That is, the test will produce 85% true positive results for those with lung cancer and 93% true negative results for those without lung cancer. Suppose that 3.2% of people actually have lung cancer. If a randomly selected individual tests positive, what is the probability he or she does not have cancer? YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE BETWEEN O AND 100 AND ROUNDED To 4 DECIMAL PLACES. (e.g. 59.5321 would be 59.5321%)
The mean height of women in a country (ages 20−29) is 63.6 inches. A random sample of 70 women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 64 inches? Assume σ=2.79. The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 64 inches is _________.
Researchers are concerned about the rise in gun violence in their community among the adolescent population. Suppose the researchers believe that this rise in violence is due to an increase in depressive symptoms among the demographic aged 11-17. Suppose the researchers estimate that only 21% of this population suffers from depressive-like symptoms. Use a binomial distribution to solve for the following. a) What is the probability of finding no one with depressive-like symptoms in a sample of 8? b) What is the probability that at least 2 respondents of a sample of 8 report these symptoms? c) What is the expected number of adolescents in the sample to report the symptoms?
Given the new fad of health consciousness, a random sample of 400 college students was asked what their preferred type of drink was and whether they took regular or sugar free. The following table gives a two-way classification of the responses. Regular Sugar free TOTALS Juice 210 95 305 Iced Coffee 75 20 95 TOTALS 285 115 400 (a) If one student is selected at random from these 400 students, find the probability that this student (i) Prefers sugar free drinks (ii) Prefers juice (iii) Prefers regular juice (iv) Prefers juice given that it is a sugar free drink. (v) Prefers iced coffee or that drinks must be sugar free. (b) Are the events 'prefers juice' and 'prefers sugar free drinks' independent? Use probabilities to state your answer.

A concern for many adults is that computers and the Internet are reducing privacy. A survey conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the Shell Poll was reported in the USA Today. According to the survey, 37% of adults are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls. Use the binomial distribution formula to calculate the probability that out of five adults, exactly three are concerned that employers are monitoring their phone calls. Select one: O a. 1.85 Ob. 0.799 Oc. 0.201 d. 3.15

About 69% of people who are murdered knew the person who committed the murder. Suppose that Detective Williams's case load currently has 49 unsolved murders. Use a nomal distribution approximation to the binomial distribution to find the following probabilities: a. What is the probability that at least 30 of the victims among Detective Williams's case files knew their murderer? b. What is the probability that between 30 and 39 of the victims knew their murderer?
