Question
6. Employers often require their employees to be subjected to random drug testing. Suppose that 5% of employees use a certain type of drug. Drug testing accuracy varies. From years of data collection it is known that those who use this type of drug have a 94% chance of testing positive. It is also known that 3% of non-drug users (of the certain type of drug) still test positive. a.) Define all 4 of the marginal events b.) With proper notation write out all of the given probabilities c.) Make a tree diagram of all probabilities in proper notation. d.) Fill out a probability cross tabulation. e.) If the employee tests positive for a certain drug, what's the probability that the employee uses the drug? f.) If the employee tests positive for a certain drug, what's the probability that the employee does NOT use the drug?
