of the individuals in this age group suffer from this fom o
arthritis. The proposed test was given to individuals with confirmed arthritic
disease, and a correct test result was obtained in 85% of the cases. When the
test was administered to individuals of the same age group who were known
onto be free of the disease, 4% were reported to have the disease. What is tne
probability that an individual has this disease given that the test indicates its
presence?
36. It is reported that 50% of all computer chips produced are defective. Inspec-
tion ensures that only 5% of the chips legally marketed are defective. Unfor-
tunately, some chips are stolen before inspection. If 1% of all chips on the
market are stolen, find the probability that a given chip is stolen given that it
is defective.
37. As society becomes dependent on computers, data must be communicated via
public communication networks such as satellites, microwave systems, and
telephones. When a message is received, it must be authenticated. This is done
by using a secret enciphering key. Even though the key is secret, there is al-
ways the possibility that it will fall into the wrong hands, thus allowing an

of engineering firms reveals that 80% have their own mainframe
survey
computer (M), 10% anticipate purchasing a mainframe computer in the near
future (B), and 5% have a mainframe computer and anticipate buying another
in the near future. Find the probability that a randomly selected firm:
(a) has a mainframe computer or anticipates purchasing one in the near future
(b) does not have a mainframe computer and does not anticipate purchasing
lint
one in the near future
obr(c) anticipates purchasing a mainframe computer given that it does not cur-

39. In a' simulation program, three random two-digit numbers will be generated
independently of one another. These numbers assume the values 00, 01, 02,
