A standard deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards. Each card has a rank and a suit. There are 13
possible ranks (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K), 4 possible suits (spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds),
and 13 cards in each suit (one of each rank).
A hand of 9 cards is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards (assume all outcomes are equally
likely).
For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the
final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4, 2)/24) instead of 0.375.
What is the probability that you are infected if a 95% accurate test returns a positive result? You are a member of a population where 2% of the people are infected.
A math class has 25 students. Assuming that all of the
students were born in the first half of the year – between
January 1st and June 30th– what is the probability that at
least two students have the same birthday? Assume that
nobody was born on leap day, so there are 181 possible
birthdays.

A Health Insurance company would like try out a new cheaper test for terminal illness. Their results show that 98% of the people that do have a terminal illness test positive, while 1% of the people who do not have a terminal illness test positive for one. A corporation known as Ken’s Kids is concerned about patients that are slipping through the cracks with this new medical testing. If the new medical testing is adopted, what % of the people will be misdiagnosed as not having a terminal illness, but really have one? Assuming a population of 200 million people, how many people that have a terminal illness, given this new testing will never know that they do?
