QUESTION 1
()
If the victim is to be saved, a proper donor must be found within 8 minutes,
allowing 2 minutes for the transfer of blood. Thus four people can be
"typed" and the person will be saved if a proper donor is found on the first,
second, third, or fourth try.
Note; P(A)=P( finding an A-positive donor)=0.4
Find P(saving patient)
ii)
Define the following events:
D: a person has the disease
H: test says a person has the disease
P(D)=0.01
P(H/D)=0.9
Find P(D/H)
