The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.006. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 27 people are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus. The probability that the combined sample will test positive is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? OA. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05. O B. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05. OC. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05. O D. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05.

A medical test is used to detect a particular disease. Suppose that 0.2% of the population has the disease. If a person has the disease, there is a 97% chance that the test result will be positive. if the person is healthy, there is a 4% chance thatr the test result will be positive. Given that a person is selected at random and the test indicates a positive result, what is the probability that the person selected has the disease?
The monthly incidence of necrotizing fasciitis in the U.S. is 50 cases. The population of the U.S. is about 312 million, and the population of Georgia is about 10 million. Assume that cases of necrotizing fasciitis are independent, and that the risk is the same in for people in Georgia as it is for people in the U.S. as a whole. a. What is the probability that three or more cases of necrotizing faciitis occur in Georgia next month? b .What is the probability that three or more cases of necrotizing fasciitis occur in Georgia during the next four months?
Suppose 33.3% of high school students eat pizza and 42% drink soda. If 17.3% of high school students eat pizza and drink soda, what is the probability that a randomly chosen high student will either eat pizza, drink soda, or both?
The local weather forecaster predicts that there is a 12% chance of rain on each day next week. Assuming his prediction is accurate and that the chance of rain in a given day does not depend on the chance of rain in a different day, what is the probability it will rain on at least 4 of the days next week?
In a certain high school, the probability that a student drops out is 0.1, and the probability that a dropout gets a high-school equivalency diploma (GED) is 0.25. What is the probability that a randomly selected student gets a GED?
The probability that an individual has 20-20 vision is 0.14. In a class of 77 students, what is the probability of finding exactly 5 people with 20-20 vision? assuming finding an individual with a 20-20 vision is independent of finding another individual with 20-20 vision.
Suppose that during this time of virus, 56% of people outside are wearing face masks. If you walk up to three random people, what is the probability that none of the three people will be wearing masks? Group of answer choices 32.5% 8.5% 41.4% 17.6%
Assume that among the general population, 13 people out of every 1000 have HIV/AIDS. A pharmaceutical company designs a screening test for HIV/AIDS that has a 99% sensitivity and an 89% specificity. Given that someone has a positive test result, what is the probability they have HIV/AIDS?
