The fatality rate of COVID-19 here in the Philippines up-to-date is 1.6%. Determine the probability of the following: Only 1 of the next COVID-19 patients will recover. All of the next 10 COVID-19 patients will recover. The 10th COVID-19 patient will be the first one not to survive.

In a 2009 study, a team of researchers recruited 38 men and divided them randomly into two groups - treatment or control. The also recruited 38 women and they randomly placed half the participants into the treatment group and the other half into the control group. One group was given 25 grams of chia seeds twice a day, and the other was given a placebo. The subjects volunteered to be a part of the study. After 12 weeks, the scientists found no significant difference between the groups in appetite or weight loss. Which of the following is true. (i) This is an observational study (ii) Blinding is used in this study because subjects in the control group recieved a placebo, so that htey were blinded to the treatment they recieved. (iii) We can safely generalize the conclusion (that chia seeds have no significant effect on appetite or weight loss) from the participants to the population at large because randomization is used when assigning participatns to groups.
A stock index consists of businesses in both Europe and the United States. Assume that each business comprising the stock index makes a profit or loss independently of the other businesses in the index. Suppose that an American business on the stock index makes a profit 60%60% of the time and a European business makes a profit 80%80% of the time. If there are 840 American businesses and 720 European businesses in the stock index, what is the expected number of businesses in the stock index to make a profit?
A small river is found to be polluted due to the chemical waste from two major industries, A and B. Due to the strict standards enforced by the EPA, the probability of controlling the pollutions from A and B are 0.7 and 0.85, respectively, in the next two years. It is estimated that, if only one of the industries complies with the strict standards of EPA, there is a 75 percent probability of controlling the pollution in the river to an acceptable level. (a) Find the probability of controlling the pollution in the river in the next two years. (b) If the pollution in the river is not controlled in the next two years, what is the probability that it is caused entirely by industry A?
The coat color of black bears depends on a gene with two alleles. Allele B is dominant and confers black coat, whereas allele b is recessive and homozygous bears have white coats (albino black bears, I know it sounds weird but it is true). As we know from genetics each bear has two alleles and the coat colors are as follows: BB-black; Bb-black; bb-white. A researcher obtained the following data for the genotypes (BB, Bb or bb) of black bears: Genotype Number of bears BB 42 Bb 24 bb 21 You are performing the following hypothesis test: H0: The genotypes of the bears follow a binomial distribution, with a probability of receiving the b allele equal to the observed proportion of the b allele in the population. HA: The genotypes of the bears do not follow a binomial distribution What is the expected frequency of bears with genotype BB, Bb, and bb? Give the absolute expected frequency (number of bears) not the fraction/proportion of BB bears
In the sport of basketball, a player will sometimes get the opportunity to shoot two free throws without being affected by any other players in the game. Assume that, for one player, these two free throws are independent of each other. If this player makes free throws 80% of the time, what is the probability that this player will make neither free throw in the opportunity?
Based on advancements in drug therapy, a pharmaceutical company is developing Resithan, a new treatment for depression. A medical researcher for the company is studying the effectiveness of Resithan as compared to their existing drug, Exemor. A random sample of 461 depressed individuals is selected and treated with Resithan, and 172 find relief from their depression. A random sample of 419 depressed individuals is independently selected from the first sample and treated with Exemor, and 121 find relief from their depression. Based on the medical researcher's study can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all depressed individuals taking Resithan who find relief from depression is greater than the proportion p2 of all depressed individuals taking Exemor who find relief from depression? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as…

A study was conducted about the safety and privacy of teens online presence. A random sample of 593 teenagers were asked if they felt that they were easy to find online from their Facebook profiles. Sixty-two girls of 325 teen girls with profiles say that they are easy to find, while 75 boys of 268 teen boys with profiles say the same. Is there evidence of a real difference between boys and girls?
Both flu and covid produce fevers. You know from past research that 10% of the population gets flu each year, but it is possible to get both covid and flu. Assume that the probability of getting flu and covid are independent. If this year the percentage of people reporting fever is 20%, what percentage of the population has covid? Studies show that due to similar transmission of flu and covid, someone who has covid has a 20% chance of also getting flu. What then is the probability of someone who has flu also having covid? Given the conditional information above, what is a better estimate of the percentage of people who have covid given the 20% fever reporting?
A random selection of volunteers at a research institute has been exposed to a weak flu virus. After the volunteers began to have flu symptoms, 20 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily that contained 1 gram of vitamin C and 3 grams of various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 20 volunteers were given tablets containing 4 grams of vitamin C only. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the flu was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained. Days to recover from flu Treated with 8.5, 5.6, 8.8. 6.1. 6.1. 3.3. 8.9, 6.0, 3.3, 9.7, 6.0, 9.3, 2.3, 4.6. 5.5.6.7. 6.6. 4.9. 10.0.6.6 multivitamin 6.5, 5.0, 3.2, 4.7, 3.5, 2.7, 3.8, 4.4, 4.6, 3.6, 4.0, 2.7, 3.2, 4.8, 6.3, 7.5, 6.9, 4.7, 4.8, 1.3 Treated with vitamin C Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Suppose that it is known that the population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.8 days when treated with multivitamins and that the population standard…

A doctor wants to determine if a new medication for cholesterol is more effective than the previous medication. The doctor asks her patients if they would like to take part in a study for a new medication, and 30 patients currently taking medication for cholesterol volunteer to participate. Which of the following would be an appropriate procedure for this experiment? The doctor needs to randomly assign 15 patients to the new medication and 15 to the original medication to even out the variability between the patients. The doctor needs to assign the first 15 patients to the new medication and 15 to the original medication to even out the variability between patients. The doctor needs to let the 30 patients choose which medication they are going to take through use of a survey to determine whether they want to participate in the experiment. The doctor needs to randomly assign the 30 patients to the new medication to even out the variability between the patients and to determine if…
