Q. 1 t is estimated that 809% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach our inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails, and the probability for a false positive (a non-spam email detected as spam) is 5%. Now if an email is detected as spam, then what is the probability that it is in fact a non-spam email? event A: email is spam; event B: email is detected as spam. Assume that
The problem of traffic delay in a highway can be studied in the following way. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in previous period, is 0.85 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the previous period is 0.75. The period of time is 30 minutes.
The manager at the local auto shop has found that the probability that a car brought into the shop requires an oil change is 0.65, the probability that a car brought into the shop requires brake repair is 0.35, and the probability that a car requires both an oil change and brake repair is 0.24. For a car brought into the shop, determine the probability that the car will require an oil change or brake repair. The probability that the car requires an oil change or brake repair is (Type an integer or a decimal.)

Suppose you want to estimate the probability that a patient will develop an infection while hospitalized at a particular hospital. In the past year, this hospital had 8,650 patients, and 812 of them developed an infection. What is the estimated probability that a patient at this hospital will develop an infection? 812 O P(the patient develops an infection) 8650 1 P(the patient develops an infection) = 8650 5738 O P(the patient develops an infection) 8650 O P(the patient develops an infection) = 812 812 O P(the patient develops an infection) 5738
