Deer ticks can be carriers of either Lyme disease or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). Based on a recent study, suppose that 14% of all ticks in a certain location carry Lyme disease, 8% carry HGE, and 8% of the ticks that carry at least one of these diseases in fact carry both of them. If a randomly selected tick is found to have carried HGE, what is the probability that the selected tick is also a carrier of Lyme disease? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

People with restless leg syndrome have a strong urge to move their legs to stop uncomfortable sensations. People with fibromyalgia suffer pain and tenderness in joints throughout the body. A recent study indicates that people with fibromyalgia are much more likely to have restless leg syndrome than people without the disease.1 The study indicates that, for people with fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.33 of having restless leg syndrome, while for people without fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.03. About 2% of the population has fibromyalgia.Create a tree diagram from this information and use it to find the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia.Round your answer to three decimal places.
As a warehouse manager, it is your responsibility to inspect a large shipment of components for defects. Two independent random samples, each of size 20 of these components will be checked, and the shipment will be accepted if fewer than 3 of these components are defective in both samples. What is the probability of accepting a shipment containing 10% defectives?
Only 6% of people has 0-negative blood type. If a local blood drive has 100 donors, what is the probability that at least 10 of the 100 donors has O-negative blood?
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 49% of people have type O blood and 17% of people have Rh− factor; 52% of people have type O or Rh− factor. A. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh− factor. B. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh− factor.
If an affected female XLX marries an unaffected male XY, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to her offspring? Remember hypertrichosis is an X-linked dominant disease. If an affected male XLY marries an unaffected female XX, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to his offspring?
Electrical engineers recognize that high neutral current in computer power systems is a potential problem. A survey of computer power system load currents at U.S. sites found that 10% of the sites had high neutral to full-load current ratios (IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications). If a random sample of five computer power systems is selected from a large number of sites in the country, what is the probability that exactly three will have a high neutral to full-current load ratio?
A psychology teacher teaches two statistics classes back-to-back, lecture L1 at 09:00 am and lecture CL1 at 10 am. Suppose the probability that the instructor gives a good L1 lecture is 0.25. If L1 lecture is good, then CL1 lecture is also good with probability 0.50. However, if L1 lecture is bad, then there is an 90% chance that CL1 lecture will also be bad. a) What proportion of the CL1 lectures are good? b) Suppose CL1 lecture was good. What is the probability that L1 lecture was also good? c) What is the probability that at least one lecture is good (i.e., either L1 lecture is good or CL1 lecture is good, or both)?
In 2014, 78.9% of US households spoke only English at home. What is the probability that atleast 12 of 15 randomly sampled US households speak only English at home
section 5.5 A personnel director has two lists of applicants for jobs. List 1 contains names of 24 women and 8 men, whereas List 2 contains the names of 9 women and 16 men. A name is randomly selected from List 1 and added to List 2. A name is then randomly selected from the augmented List 2. Given that the name selected is that of a man, what is the probability that a woman's name was originally selected from List 1? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
