- Using your knowledge of Bayes’ Theorem, solve the following. A patient goes to see a doctor. The doctor performs a test where 95% of people who are sick test positive and 99% of the healthy people test negative. The doctor knows that only 1 percent of the people in the country are sick. (a) What is the false positive rate? (b) The false negative rate? (c) If the patient tests positive, what are the chances the patient is sick?arrow_forwardMost of the genetic information we will get from our genome will not be hard evidence that we will or we won’t get a disease but is rather only probabilistic evidence. a. What does this mean? b. Why might knowing a single gene not tell you if you will get a particular condition?arrow_forwardI have seen that this was answered as C, Why is the answer C, how is that not evidence of it being genetic? Shouldnt it be none of the above?

- In a study on the ecological impact of malarial infection in the lizard Scelopons occidentalis, researchers caught 15 lizards with the malarial parasite Plasmodium and 15 without. Researchers measured the distance (meters) each lizard could run in two minutes (as a measure of stamina). The following is the code and R output from the "t.test" function. t.test (x=infected, y=uninfected) Welch Two Sample t-test data: infected and uninfected t = -1.9658, df = 27.239, p-value = 0.05959 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: -10.9523489 0.2323489 sample estimates: mean of x mean of y 26.87333 32.23333 The confidence interval includes the value of 0, therefore we conclude that: a. The difference between the treatment and the placebo is positive b. There is no difference between the treatment and the placebo OC.
