The manufacturer of 'Imaginaricil', a drug for lowering blood pressure, claims that the drug is successful in lowering blood pressure with 85% of patients who received it. If this claim is true, what is the probability that out of 200 randomly chosen patients who received 'Imaginaricil', only 120 experienced lower blood pressure? a. 120C80 0.85120 0.1580 b. 200C120 0.85120 0.1580 c. None of the other answers is correct. d. 200C120 0.15120 0.8580 e. 120C80 0.15120 0.8580 f. 100C85 0.85120 0.1580

If an affected female XLX marries an unaffected male XY, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to her offspring? Remember hypertrichosis is an X-linked dominant disease.

A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. Flase positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 5.36% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?
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?

In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 373 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
A new breathalyser is being trialled. When alcohol is present, the breathalyser correctly predicts alcohol in the system 90% of the time, but gives a false positive (indicates alcohol in the system when the individual has not drunk any alcohol) 4% of the time. On 20th December within the adult population 25% of individual have had alcohol. Given the breathalyser is positive what is the probability you have had an alcoholic drink? 0.948 0.980 0.720 0.882 0.957 No answer

A drug manufacturer claims that their drug cures a certain blood disease 78% of the time. To check the claim, BFAD used the drug in a clinical trial of 100 individuals inflicted with the disease and decided to accept the claim if 70 or more are cured. What is the probability that the claim will be accepted when the cure probability is as low as 0.6?
