Assume that 5% of the people who receive
Treatment A die. The sixty percent who fully
recover live another 10 years. The treatment is
only partially successful for 35% of the patients,
who live another 4 years. What is the expected
value of Treatment A, expressed as additional
years of life?
If the expected age of death for a male aged 20 is 75, then a 20-year-old man who dies it's considered to have lost how many years of life?
The Customs Inspection agency at international airports has developed a traveler profiling system (TPS) to detect passengers who are trying to bring more liquor into the country than is allowed by present regulations. Long-term studies indicate that 20% of the passengers are carrying more liquor than is allowed. Tests on the new TPS scheme has shown that of those carrying illegal amounts of liquor, 80% will be identified and subject to complete luggage search. In addition 20% of those not carrying illegal amounts of liquor will also be identified by TPS and subject to a complete luggage search.If a passenger is identified by TPS, what is the probability that the passenger is carrying an illegal amount of liquor? Comment on the value of this system.

Individual A has an income (Y) of 500 million Rupiah per year. If Individual A is sick, he will lose 25% of his income. Meanwhile, Individual B has an income (Y) of 100 million Rupiah per year, and if Individual B is sick, he will lose 75% of his income. The probability of Individual A and Individual B being sick is the same, which is 10%. If the satisfaction level of Individual A and Individual B is determined by their income level, based on the following function U(Y)=ln Y, would Individual A and Individual B prefer not to have health insurance?

- In year 2019, 44232 new cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were reported in a country. The estimated mid-year population of the country in 2019 was approximately 290809777. The incidence rate of AIDS in 2019 was 15.2099 new cases of AIDS per 100000 population 15.9099 new cases of AIDS per 100000 population 14.2099 new cases of AIDS per 100000 population 14.5099 new cases of AIDS per 100000 population 16.2099 new cases of AIDS per 10000O populationarrow_forwardSuppose a US medical board is using marginal analysis to determine the optimal screening frequency for a specific disease. Below is the approximate number of early cases that screening at various frequencies will detect. The frequency of screening is how often the entire population (of 5,000 people) will be screened over a 10-year period. For example, a Frequency of 5 means the entire population will be will be screened 5 times over a 10-year period. Suppose further that each early detection case is considered to have a benefit of $50,000 and the cost of screening the population is $9,000,000. Frequency of screening the population (number of times over 10 year period) 10 1 12 3 14 Total Number of Early Detection Cases 10 400 700 900 1000 1000 I 5 Using the marginal benefit/marginal cost rule, what is the optimal frequency for screening (over this ten-year period)? 2 times 5 times 3 times 4 timesarrow_forwardAn individual has the utility function U(I) = I^(1/2), where I is their net income. (Note that I to the exponent/power of 1/2 is the same as the square root of I.) The individual starts with $1600 in income. The individual has a 20% probability of being very sick, 30% probability of being slightly sick, and 50% probability of being healthy. If the individual is sick, they lose net income because they need to pay healthcare costs. The healthcare costs are $1600 if they are very sick, $700 if they are slightly sick, and $0 if they are healthy.
