The probability that a person with certain symptoms has hepatitis is 0.8. The blood test used to confirm this diagnosis gives positive results for 89% of people with the disease and 5% of those without the disease. What is the probability that an individual who has the symptoms and who reacts positively to the test actually has hepatitis? The probability is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.)

The National Institute for Sports estimates that 11% of all college athletes use steroids. A new test correctly diagnoses the presence of steroids in 94% of athletes that have used steroids in the past 18 months. The test gives a positive result to 14% of athletes who do not use steroids. What is the probability an athlete uses steroids given that he has a negative result?
A blood test indicates the presence of a particular disease 94% of the time when the disease is actually present. The same test indicates the presence of the disease 0.7% of the time when the disease is not present. 3% of the population actually has the disease. Calculate the probability that a person has the disease, given that the test indicates the presence of the disease.
A recent survey showed that 94 adults out of a sample of 500 have high blood pressure. However, 108 of those studied reported being unwilling to change their diet. Based on this sample, if an adult is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she is open to trying to eat more healthfully? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.
A study showed that the sex ratio of children born to families in a native community of Ontario deviated significantly from the continental average ratio. A newspaper report about this study claimed that "there was only a 1-percent probability that the results were due to chance." Determine what the result likely represents and how you can rewrite the statement from the report so that it still be correct. O The study probably reported a P-value of 0.01. The probability that the observed difference between the sex ratios deviates from the true difference is 0.01. The study probably reported a Type II error rate of 0.01. If the null hypothesis were false, the researchers would fail to reject it mistakenly one time in 100. The study probably reported a Type I error rate of 0.01. If the null hypothesis were true, the researchers would reject it mistakenly one time in 100. O The study probably reported a P-value of 0.01. Under the null hypothesis, the probability is 0.01 of obtaining a sex…
A drug test correctly gives a positive result 90 percent of the time. However, 3 percent of the time, it incorrectly gives a positive result. This is known as a false positive. Suppose that 7 percent of the people to be tested will have one or more of the drugs being tested for in their system. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person will have get a positive test result? Your answer should be to 4 decimal places.
The chances of a pine tree in a particular forest being effected by the pine beetle is 10 percent. If you randomly select 20 trees for testing, what is the probability that fewer than 2 will be infected by the pine beetle? Round your answer to three decimal places, e.g. 0.619.
A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.1%. If the false negative rate is 7% and the false positive rate is 3%, compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease.

A sample of 400 adults found that 82 have high blood pressure. However, 98 of those studied reported being unwilling to change their diet. Based on this sample, if an adult is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she is open to trying to eat more healthfully? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.
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?
