Suppose 5% of the population in Barangy Nara have a disease. Now, there is a diagnostic technique to detect the disease but it is not very accurate. In historical evidence, it shows that if a person actually has a disease, the probability that the test will be positive is 90%. Assume that the probability that a person’s test are positive given that a person actually does not have a disease is 15%. 1. What is the probability that a person actually has the disease given that the test result is positive? 2. What is the probability that a person actually does not have the disease given that the test result is positive?

Suppose that a clinical test for a rare disease produces 97% true positives and 95% of true negatives. It is also known that only 0.5% of the general population has the disease. What is the probability that a randomly selected individual with a positive test has the disease? Give your answer correct to four decimal places.
According to a study. 74.9% of college freshmen majoring in business said that "to get training for a specific career" was a very important reason for their going to college. Consider a group of nine freshman business majors selected at random. Find the probability that no more than two of the nine freshmen in the group felt that this reason was very important. The probability that no more than two of the nine felt this reason was important is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of a certain disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.74. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.04. It is estimated that 14 % of the population who take this test have the disease.If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?
A recent survey of 1030 U.S. adults selected at random showed that 627 consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.
Set up a tree diagram labelled with events and probabilities (conditional and final joint probabilities) on all branches to correctly illustrate Problem 5 of the Conditional Probability WebWorks set (each student will have different numbers to work with). Show how to use the tree diagram with the appropriate probabilities to get your solution.
According to a study, the probability that an individual will cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.29. If 10 randomly selected individuals are observed, compute the following probabilites. Your answers should be rounded to four decimal places. The probability that five individuals will cover their mouth when sneezing is The probability that six or less individuals will cover their mouth when sneezing is
