Suppose the side effect of a new drug makes people (a) very sick, (b) sick, (c) kind of sick, or (d) not sick at all with probabilities .1, .2, .4, and .3, respectively. If a random group of 10 people are selected for a trial of the drug; what is the probability that 1 gets very sick, 2 get sick, 4 get kinda sick, and 3 do not get sick at all up to four decimal points.

Naturalization. The Office of Immigration Statistics collects and reports information about naturalized persons in the document U.S. Naturalizations. During one year, there were 694,193 persons who became naturalized citizens of the United States and, of those, 36%were originally from Asia. If 200 people who became naturalized citizens of the United States that year are selected at random, what is the probability that the number who were originally from Asia is a. fewer than 65? b. between 70 and 80, inclusive? c. less than 60 or more than 80?
20. Based on student records, 25% of the students at a large high school have a GPA of 3.5 or better, 16% of the students are currently enrolled in at least one AP class, and 12% of the students have a GPA of 3.5 or better and are enrolled in at least one AP class. If we select one student at random, what is the probability that the student has a GPA lower than 3.5 and is not taking any AP classes? (A) 0.29 (B) 0.47 (C) 0.53 (D) 0.63 (E) 0.71

6. A large group of people is to be checked for two common symptoms of a certain disease. It is thought that 20% of the people possess symptom A alone, 30% possess symptom B alone, 10% possess both symptoms, and the remainder have neither symptoms. For one person chosen at random from this group, find these probabilities (a) The person has neither symptom. (b) The person has at least one symptom. (c) The person has both symptoms, given that the person has symptom B.
1. Researchers are interested in the relationship between vaping and upper respiratory infections. Suppose that 15% of their population of interest has vaped in the past year and 25% have had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. In addition, they know that 10% have both vaped and had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. What percent of the population has neither vaped nor had an upper respiratory infection in the past year? b. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has vaped in the past year? What is the complement of the event in part b)? Be sure to interpret this probability in the context of the problem. a. C. d. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has not vaped in the past year? Are the two events independent? Be sure to justify your answer. Based on your calculations what can you conclude about the relationship between vaping…
