Explanation Given Info: From the results of the "1-Panel-THC" test for Marijuana use, 143 subjects had positive test results, 3 subjects had false negative results (subject uses Marijuana, test does not show Marijuana use), 24 subjects had false positive results (subject does not uses Marijuana, test shows Marijuana use), and 157 subjects with negative results. Calculation: The subjects who result with true positive results, True positive results = [ Total positive test results − False positive test results ] = 143 − 24 = 119 The subjects who result with true negative results, True negative results = [ Total negative test results − False negative test results ] = 157 − 3 = 154 The results from the "1-Panel-THC" test for Marijuana use is shown in Table 1. Positive Test Result Negative Test Result Total Subject Used Marijuana True Positive 119 False Negative 3 122 Subject Did not Use Marijuana False Positive 24 True Negative 154 178 Total 143 157 300 Table 1 Let event A denote that the randomly selected subject tested negative and event B denote that the randomly selected subject uses marijuana. The formula for probability of event A is, P ( A ) = Number of ways event A occurs Number of simple events Substitute 157 for ‘Number of ways of event A occurs’ and 300 for ‘Number of simple events’ P ( A ) = 157 300 = 0

Addition Rule of Probability

It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

2. An experiment is set up to test the effectiveness of a new drug for balancing people's mood. The table below contains the results of the patients before and after taking the drug. The possible scores are the integers from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates a depressed mood and 10 indicates and elated mood. Patient Before After 1 4 4 2 3 3 3 6 4 4 1 2 5 6 5 6 1 3 7 4 7 8 6 9 1 4 10 5 4 Assuming the differences of the observations to be symmetric, but not normally distributed, investigate the effectiveness of the drug at the 5% significance level.
