Abbott’s Covid-19 rapid test is called BinaxNOW. Test information indicates that the sensitivity of the test is .846 and the specificity is .985.
a. What is the probability that a person truly has Covid-19 given that the BinaxNOW test shows positive when 5% of the population has Covid-19
b. when 10% of the population has Covid-19?
c. when 20% of the population has Covid-19?
d. In the first column in Excel, create a column for Pr(B) -- this probability denotes the fraction of the general population that has Covid-19. The first entry in this column is 0 and increase this value by .01 in successive rows until you reach 1.00. That is, the entries in the first column are 0, .01, .02, .03, …, .99, 1.00. In the second column in Excel, use Bayes Theorem to compute Pr(B|A) for all of the rows in the first column. That is, Pr(B|A) denotes the probability that a person truly has Covid-19, given that the BinaxNOW test shows positive.

- 2.7 In China, four-year-olds average three hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.5 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly select one Chinese four-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time the child spends alone per day. Find the probability that the child spends less than one hour per day unsupervised.

Past data indicate that if the machine is operating "properly," the length of the plates produced by this machine can be modeled as being normally distributed with a mean of 117 centimeters and a standard deviation of 5.2 centimeters. Suppose 16 plates produced by this machine are randomly selected. What is the probability that the average length of these 16 plates will be between 116 and 120 centimeters when the machine is operating "properly?" Z and t TABLES ARE GIVEN AS QUESTIONS 28-29.
