Question
A screening test for a particular infectious disease shows a positive test result in 90% of all cases when the disease is actually present, and in 10% of all cases when it is not. Assume that t% of the population is infected, where t is = 1. For a randomly chosen from the population person, find the probability that the person is actually infected if the test shows positive.

- A blood bank asserts that a person with type O blood and a negative Rh factor (Rh−) can donate blood to any person with any blood type. Their data show that 43% of people have type O blood and 17% of people have Rh− factor; 48% of people have type O or Rh− factor. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh− factor. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh− factor.arrow_forwardNationally, about 11% of the total U.S. wheat crop is destroyed each year by hail.t An insurance company is studying wheat hail damage claims in a county in Colorado.

- The first test a doctor would order to determine whether a person is infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) is the ELISA test. It detects antibodies and antigens for HIV. A study in Statistical Science by J. Gastwirth estimated that, if the person is actually infected with HIV, this test produces a positive result 97.7% of the time. If a person is not infected with HIV, the test result is negative 92.6% of the time. According the the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 1.1 million Americans out of a population of 321 million were infected with HIV in 2015. Using the information above, determine the probability that a randomly selected person whose ELISA test is positive actually is infected with HIV? a. What is the probability that a randomly selected American is infected with HIV? b.

X can take the values 10, if you win teh bet, 0 if there is a score tie, or -10 if you lose. You know that the probability distribution for ✗ is denoted by f(x) and it depends on whether she studied for the exam or not. Let Y be the random variable that indicates if she studied, Y = 0 if she studied and Y = 1 if she did not study.

- The percentage of people in the population who have a certain disease is 22%. There is a test for the disease that is fairly accurate. Of the people who have the disease who take the test, it reports that 6% of them do not have the disease. Of the people who do not have the disease who take the test, it reports that 6% of them have the disease. Suppose that a person takes the test and it reports that they have the disease. Compute the probability that the person does not have the disease. Round your answer to two decimal places.

This column contains the probability mass values, f(x). For example, the probability that a new-born male baby will live 20.5 years (not less or not more) is .00133349, i.e., f(20.5) = .00133349.
