The National Cancer Institute gives the following probabilities for a randomly chosen woman in her 50s who takes a mammography to screen for breast cancer: 0.8 Positive Cancer 0.0286 Negative 0.2 M ammography 0.1 Positive 0.9714 No cancer Negative 0.9 (a) A true positive happens when someone getting a mammography has cancer and receives a positive test result. What percent of women in their 50s taking a screening mammography receive a true positive?

During a certain week, the mean price of gasoline in the New england region was $3.796 per gallon. A random sample of gas station is selected from this population what is the probability that the mean price for the smoke was between $3.781 and $3.811 that week?
During the 2013 regular NBA season, DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers had the highest field goal completion rate in the league. DeAndre scored with 61.3% of his shots. Suppose you choose a random sample of 80 shots made by DeAndre during the 2013 season. Let X= the number of shots that scored points. Find the probability that DeAndre scored with more than 50 of these shots.
A production line stops operating once a defective item is produced. The probability of producing a defective item is 0.001. What is the probability that the line stops production on the 1000 item produced.
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?

When snow and rainfall occur together, it is known as sleet. On any given day the probability that it rains is 0.6, the probability that it snows is 0.5 and the probability that it rains and snows is 0.20. Calculate the probabilty that it rains or it snows.
The records of an Italian shoe manufacturer show that 10% of shoes made are defective. Assuming independence, find the probability of getting 2 defective shoes in a batch of 12.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 , inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
