Answer to Problem 1E

The value of Γ(6) is 120_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The quantity is Γ(6).

Calculation:

The quantity is Γ(6).

It is known that, the value of gamma function for any positive whole number n is given as Γn=(n1)!.

It is given that, the value of n is 6.

The value of Γ(6) is calculated as follows.

Γ(6)=(61)!=5!=5×4×3×2×1=120

Thus, the value of Γ(6) is 120_.

3. Bayesian Inference – Updating Beliefs A medical test for a rare disease has the following characteristics: Sensitivity (true positive rate): 99% Specificity (true negative rate): 98% The disease occurs in 0.5% of the population. A patient receives a positive test result. Questions: a) Define the relevant events and use Bayes’ Theorem to compute the probability that the patient actually has the disease.b) Explain why the result might seem counterintuitive, despite the high sensitivity and specificity.c) Discuss how prior probabilities influence posterior beliefs in Bayesian inference.d) Suppose a second, independent test with the same accuracy is conducted and is also positive. Update the probability that the patient has the disease.
