Suppose that 34% of the population has mood swings, allergies, irritability and depression (MAID) and is known to consume dairy products. Also, 80% of the populace consumes dairy products. It is also known that 70 % of the population either consumes dairy products or has MAID. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person has MAID?

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the probability that a randomly selected citizen of the United States has hearing problems is 0.151. The probability that a randomly selected citizen of the United States has vision problems is 0.093. Can we compute the probability of randomly selecting a citizen of the United States who has a hearing problem or vision problem by adding these probabilities? Why or why not?
For a particular species of wolf, 48% are female, 30% hunt in medium-sized packs, and 10% are both female and hunt in medium-sized packs What is the probability of selecting a wolf that is female, given that it hunts in a mediumsized pack?
5. A manufacturer of cell phones purchases batteries from a vendor. It is not uncommon to receive defective batteries from this vendor, thus whenever a shipment is received, a sample of batteries is inspected. For this month's shipment, a random sample of 280 batteries is selected and each battery is inspected. If the proportion of defective batteries sampled is more than 1.5%, the entire shipment will be returned to the vendor. What is the probability that this month's shipment will be returned if the true proportion of defective batteries is 4%?

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.
4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
According to Mendel’s theory, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, the corresponding probabilities are 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, and 1/16 for tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, respectively. If 8 plants are selected, find the probability that 1 will be tall and colorful, 3 will be tall and colorless, 3 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.(4 decimal digits)
4 If the probability that a communication system will have high fidelity is 0.81 and the probability that it will have high fidelity and selectivity is 0.18, what is the probability that a system with high fidelity will also have high selectivity.
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.
