Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans.Typically, only people with two copies of the sickle cell anemia gene show symptoms of the disease (genotype aa). People with at least one copy of the other allele of that gene usually show no symptoms (genotype AA or Aa). What is the probability that a child of two carriers (type Aa) has Sickle cell anemia (is type aa)

There is a 50% chance that a father carries the gene of a certain disease. If he is a carrier, then each of his children has a 50% chance of having the disease independently. If the father is not a carrier, a child will not have the disease. Suppose the father has had three children without the disease. What is the probability the father is a carrier?
Detecting terrorists is a real problem, one that causes governments to spend millions per year. A particular surveillance system has been developed which correctly identifies a future terrorist 99% of the times and detects someone who is not a future terrorist 99.9% of times. Suppose that in a population of 300 million, there are 1000 potential/future terrorists. If one of these 300 million is randomly selected and scrutinized by the system, what is the probability that the person selected is actually a future terrorist? Also explain if the value of this probability makes you uncomfortable about using a surveillance system? Explain.
A certain blood test is 99.5% effective at detecting Foreign Bloodborne Pathogens (such as the hepatitis virus) in human blood. If two people who take this test are selected at random, what is the probability both tests correctly detect a Foreign Bloodborne Pathogen? If ten people who take this test are selected at random, what is the probability all tests correctly detect a Foreign Bloodborne Pathogen? If 1,000 people who take this test are selected at random, what is the probability at least one test FAILS to detect a Foreign Bloodborne Pathogen?
Eleven percent of American children (ages 4 to 17) have Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) according to the Center for Disease Control. Suppose six American children in this age group are randomly selected, is the probability that at least one has ADHD unusual? Eleven percent of American children (ages 4 to 17) have Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) according to the Center for Disease Control. Suppose six American children in this age group are randomly selected, is the probability that at least one has ADHD unusual? No, this probability is not unusual because it is more than 0.05. Yes, this probability is unusual because it is more than 0.05. No, this probability is not unusual because it is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Yes, this probability is unusual because it is not within 2 standard deviations of the mean. No, this probability is not unusual because it is more than 0.01.
A poll conducted on the proposed bonus plan for employees indicated that 40% of all female employees and 65% of all night-shift employees supported the plan. Also, 34% of all employees are women, 51% of all employees are night-shift workers, and 24% are day-shift females. If two employees are randomly selected, what is the probability that the first, a male is a night-shift worker and the second, a female is a day-shift worker? Answer:
In a study of 235,722 cell phone users, it was found that 109 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000477 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 113 cases of such cancer in a group of 235,722 people. Estimate the probability of 109 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 235,722 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system? (a) P(x ≤ 109) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A study study of the U.S. clinical population found that 22.5% are diagnosed with a mental disorder, 13.5% are diagnosed with an alcohol-related disorder, and 5% are diagnosed with both disorders. What is the probability that someone from the clinical population is diagnosed with a mental disorder, given that the person is not diagnosed with an alcohol-related disorder?
