Random COVID-19 testing is required for students, faculty, and staff at IUPUI. Assume that 10% of the population currently has the virus in its system. A particular COVID test produces positive results 15% of the time when the person doesn’t actually have the virus, and it produces negative results 2% of the time for people who actually have the virus. Given that a person receives a negative test result, what is the probability that the person is actually infected with the virus? Round your answer to 4 decimal places

If an affected female XLX marries an unaffected male XY, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to her offspring? Remember hypertrichosis is an X-linked dominant disease. If an affected male XLY marries an unaffected female XX, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to his offspring?
A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. Flase positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 5.36% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?
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
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 373 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
Let A be a random variable corresponding to the sum of the outcomes of two independent rolls of a fair 6-sided die (numbered from 1 to 6). Determine the variance of A.
In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, monkeys were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 117 of 750 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 74 of 631 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the a = 0.05 level of significance? Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret the P-value. If the population proportions are one would expect a sample difference proportion the one observed in about out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) State the conclusion for this hypothesis test. A. Reject Ho.…
Suppose, you are running an experiment that has two outcomes, namely 'success' and 'failure'. You intially don't know the probability of success in a single experiment. But you know that, if you continue to run the experiment several times, the variance of the number of experiments required for the first success is 2. What is the expected number of experiments required for the first success ? [Hint: Try to determine the probability of success in a single experiment and recall the range of the values to which a probability must belong]
Female undergraduates in randomized groups of 15 took part in a self-esteem study. The study measured an index of self-esteem from the point of view of competence, social acceptance, and physical attractiveness. Let x1, x2, and x3 be random variables representing the measure of self-esteem through x1 (competence), x2 (social acceptance), and x3 (attractiveness). Higher index values mean a more positive influence on self- esteem. Variable Sample Mean Standard Deviation Population Size Мean 15 19.48 2.92 X1 X2 X3 (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for u1 - 42.
