The probability that an individual randomly selected from a particular population has a certain disease is .05. A diagnostic test correctly detects the presence of the disease 98% of the time and correctly detects the absence of the disease 99% of the time. If the test is applied twice, the two test results are independent, and both are positive, what is the (posterior) probability that the selected individual has the disease?

When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

4.56 Nonstandard dice. Nonstandard dice can produce interesting distributions of outcomes. You have two balanced, six-sided dice. One is a standard die, with faces having one, two, three, four, five, and six spots. The other die has three faces with one spot and three faces with six spots. Find the probability distribution for the total number of spots Y on the up-faces when you roll these two dice.
The table below gives the two-way classification of 400 randomly selected persons based on their status as a smoker or a nonsmoker and on the number of visits they made to their physicians last year. Suppose you must test the hypothesis at 5% level of significance whether there is a relationship between smoking and visits to the physician.

A recent study has shown that 28% of 18-34 year olds check their Facebook/Instagram feeds before getting out of bed in the morning,If we sampled a group of 150 18-34 year olds, what is the probability that the number of them who checked their social media before getting out of bed is:a.) At least 30? b.) No more than 54? c.) between 36 and 49 (including 36 and 49)? Use the Normal Approximation to the Binomial distribution to answer this question.

The Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors are two teams in the National Basketball Association. Dallas and Golden State will play multiple times of the course of an NBA season. Assume that the Dallas Mavericks have a 25% probability of winning each game against the Golden State Warriors. a.) Construct a simulation model that uses the negative binomial distribution to simulate the number of games Dallas would lose before winning four games against the Golden State Warriors. b. Now suppose that the Dallas Mavericks face the Golden State Warriors in a best-of-seven playoff series in which the first team to win four games out of seven wins the series. Using the simulation model from part (a), estimate the probability that the Dallas Mavericks would win a best-of-seven series against eh Golden State Warriors.

1. The distributional pattern of pulmonate slugs inhabiting Libya was studied in the AIUB Journal of Science and Engineering (Aug. 2003). The number of slugs of a certain species found in the survey area was modeled using the negative binomial distribution. Assume that the probability of observing a slug of a certain species (say, Milax rusticus) in the survey area is 0.2. Let Y represent the number of slugs that must be collected in order to obtain a sample of 10 Milax rusticus slugs. a. Give the probability distribution for Y as a formula. b. What is the expected value of Y? Interpret this value.c. Find P(Y = 25).

The data records the smiling times, in seconds, of an eight-week-old baby.We will assume that the smiling times, in seconds, follow a uniform distribution between zero and 23 seconds, inclusive. This means that any smiling time from zero to and including 23 seconds is equally likely.What is the probability that a randomly chosen eight- week-old baby smiles between two and 18 seconds?
