A test has recently been developed for Swine flu (H1N1 virus) that can be given to travellers returning to the US from other countries. Like all medical tests, this test is not perfect. During one of the initial trials of the test, 1000 individuals from Mexico were tested. Of those tested, 10 had swine flu but tested negative (false negative), 60 had swine flu and tested positive, and 30 did not have swine flu but tested positive. The remaining 900 individuals did not have swine flu and tested negative. Write out the following probabilities and put your answer into the simpliest possible fraction: I. P(+ test|Flu)=[a] II. P(- test|Flu)=[b] III. P(+ test| no Flu)=[c] IV. P(- test|no Flu)=[d] If a tourist returning to the US from Mexico tests positive for swine flu, what is the probability that s/he actually has the virus?(put your answer into the simpliest fraction)[e]
A school psychologist is interested in determining if children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learn better if English literature is read to them rather than having them read the material alone by themselves. A random sample of 10 sixth graders with ADHD is selected and divided into two groups of n=9. One of the groups has a story read to them (Listening Group) and the other reads the story alone by themselves (Reading Group). A test on the story is given after each group has finished reading or hearing the story. The following scores were obtained with 20 being a perfect score. what is the cohen’s d ?

A gambler belives that he has learned to predict the color of a card befroe it is drawn from the deck. In order to test this, he predicts a color, draws a card from a fresh deck of 52 cards and observes its color, replaces the card, and then shuffles.He repeats this process 10 times, and finds that he got 5 predictions incorrect.Using a sign test, test the hypothesis that the gambler is getting fewer predictions inccorect than one would expect due to chance.Critical Value = ?
Suppose we know that 0.1% of the population is infected with COVID-19 (the probability that a randomly selected individual is infected with COVID-19 is 0.001). We have a test for COVID-19 that is 99.9% accurate (if the person is infected, then the probability of being tested as POSITIVE is 0.999; if the person is NOT infected, the probability of being tested as NEGATIVE is 0.999) What is the probability that Draco is actually infected with COVID-19, given that he has tested positive? Hint: Draw the appropriate tree diagram and use Bayes' Theorem.
