The probability that an individual randomly selected from a particular population has a certain disease is 0.06. A diagnostic test correctly detects the presence of the disease 93% of the time and correctly detects the absence of the disease 94% 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? [Hint: Tree diagram with first-generation branches corresponding to Disease and No Disease, and second- and third-generation branches corresponding to results of the two tests.)

Obtaining a driver's license at the earliest eligible age has been a teenage ritual that appears to be fading. A study performed by a university's transportation research institute recently found that 29% of U.S. teenagers between the ages of 17 and 19 did not possess a driver's license. A random sample of 125 17-to-19-year-old teenagers was selected. Complete parts a through d. a. What is the probability that 45 or fewer teenagers of this sample had not obtained a driver's license? The probability is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that 50 or more teenagers of this sample had not obtained a driver's license? The probability is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability that between 35 and 40 teenagers had not obtained a driver's license? The probability is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) d. Suppose that 27 teenagers from this sample had not obtained a driver's license. Does this result support the findings…
Analysis of attendance statistics at CUNY QC reveals that Post COVID, the typical undergraduate student attends in person-class 64% of the time. If there are 29 classes during a semester, the probability of a randomly selected student attending 20 or more classes during the semester is closest to 13% 77% 36% 64%
The probability that an individual randomly selected from a particular population has a certain disease is 0.05. 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?

Watershed is a media services company that provides online streaming movie and television content. As a result of the competitive market of streaming service providers, Watershed is interested in proactively identifying will unsubscribe in the next three months based on the customer's characteristics. For a test set of customers, the file Watershed contains an indication of whether a customer unsubscribed in the past three months and the classification model's estimated unsubscribe probability for the customer. In an effort to prevent customer churn, Watershed wishes to offer promotions to customers who may unsubscribe. It costs Watershed $15 to offer a promotion to a customer. If offered a promotion, it successfully persuades a customer to remain a Watershed customer with probability 0.7, and the retaining the customer is worth $60 to Watershed. Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. Assuming customers will be offered the promotion in order of decreasing estimated…
The recent pandemic has dramatically changed many of our lives in so many ways. From a public health perspective, there has been great interest in understanding the factors that might contribute to or directly impact the severity of CoVID-19. A researcher wishes to evaluate the severity of COVID-19 ("low" i.e., asymptomatic/mild or "high" i.e., severe/critical) for patients with different self-described smoking histories (current, former, or never smoker). In order to assess the possible relationship between CoVID-19 severity and patient smoking history, data for 354 COVID-19 patients from a local hospital were collected and are provided below. COVID-19 Severity Smoking History Low High Current 87 15 Former 43 9. Never 136 64 1 | Page S. Robinson
A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between college students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentive and guaranteed placement programs) and college students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 91.5% for the college students admitted through special programs. If 11 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 10 of them graduated. prob If 11 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that eactly 8 of them graduated. prob Would it be unusual to randomly select 11 students from the special programs and get exactly 8 that graduate? no, it is not unusual yes, it is unusual If 11 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at most 8 of them graduated. prob = Would it be unusual to randomly select 11 students from the special…
A company audit reveals that 3% of the department budgets contain errors. A program is developed to analyze budgets and, in a test, identifies errors in 99% of budgets with errors and 2% of those without. If a budget is identified by the program as possibly having an error, what is the probability that the budget does have an error? (Hint: Use the tree diagram, check out the examples in the Bayes' theorem notes)
Response team hears directly from consumers about the challenges they face in the marketplace, brings their concerns to the attention of financial institutions, and assists in addressing their complaints. An analysis of complaints registered recently indicates that the mean number of vehicle lease complaints registered by consumers is 3.5 per day. Assume that the number of vehicle lease complaints registered by consumers is distributed as a Poisson random variable. What is the probability that in a given day d. fewer than two vehicle lease complaints will be registered by consumers?
The probability that an individual randomly selected from a particular population has a certain disease is 0.04. A diagnostic test correctly detects the presence of the disease 99% of the time and correctly detects the absence of the disease 91% 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?

Recent statistics suggest that 40 percent of those who visit a retail site on the World Wide Web make a purchase. A retailer wished to verify this claim. To do so, she selected a sample of 20 “hits” to her site and found that 10 had actually made a purchase. What is the likelihood of atleast 10 purchases? What is the likelihood that 15 or more “hits” result in a purchase?
Of the students in the college, 60% of the students reside in the hostel and 40% of the students are day scholars. Previous year result reports that 30% of all students who stay in the hostel scored A Grade and 20% of day scholars scored A grade. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random and found that he/she has an A grade. What is the probability that the student is a hostlier?
