Suppose a county’s recent health report gives a pet allergy prevalence of 0.13 for kids. There is a new at-home test kit for pet allergies on the market that provides families with a convenient way to test if children have a pet allergy. The probability that the test gives a positive result when a child really does not have a pet allergy is 0.06. The probability that the test gives a negative result when a child really does have a pet allergy is 0.12. The tree diagram shows the possible outcomes with the associated probabilities.

In recent years research suggests that cell phone usage during social interactions leads to distractions, which undermines the benefits of social interaction. A recent report by greater good magazine reports that a survey shows that 82% of people report that the use of cell phones during a conversation decreases the quality and what they talk about. Assuming the greater good magazine report is accurate, and then a random sample of cell phone users during A recent conversation were sampled. You are interested in the probability that a specific number of the cell phones users would report that the use of cell phones during a conversation decreases the quality of what they talk about.

The drop out rate of female students from computer science programs in their first year is much higher compared to males. There are many initiatives that aim to help lower the rate of drop out for females which is currently 0.30. If 310 female students enrolled in the computer science program this year, what is the probability that less than 80 will actually drop out? O A. 0.579 O B. 0.054 O C. 0.421 O D. 0.946 Reset Selection

It is known that the use of banned drugs can contribute to mental illness. The minister of health wants to put a cost to this disaster and request that you take a study. In Barbados 40% of mentally ill blame their illness on drugs. Without previous knowledge in Jamaica we assume that this is the same proportion here. You selected a random sample of 12Bellevue patients to review. What is the probability that 6 patients used the drugs that caused their illness.
A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of a certain disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.74. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.04. It is estimated that 14 % of the population who take this test have the disease.If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?
The president of Doerman Distributors, Inc. believes that 30% of the firm's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 100 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within .05?
A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed. For those not wearing seat belts, the comparable figures were 43% and 51%, respectively. Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.
Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
What is the probability that a driver who was released had actually been drinking?
