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?

- The personality characteristics of business leaders (e.g., CEOS) are related to the operations of the businesses that they lead (Oreg & Berson, 2018). Traits like openness to experience are related to positive financial outcomes and other traits are related to negative financial outcomes for their businesses. Suppose that a board of directors is interested in evaluating the personality of their leadership. Among a sample of n = 16 managers, the sample mean of the openness to experiences dimension of personality was M = 4.50. Assuming that u = 4.24 and o = 1.05 (Cobb-Clark & Schurer, 2012), use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a = .05 to test the hypothesis that this company's business leaders' openness to experience is different from the population.
