Drug testing potential employees have become so prevalent that drug users are finding it extremely hard to find jobs. Drug tests, however, are not completely reliable. To decrease the likelihood of making an error, all potential employees are screened through two tests, which are independent. One test has a 93 % accuracy and the other has a 94% accuracy. Step 1 of 2: If a person were drug free, what is the probability they would fail both tests? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.arrow_forward
- The probability that it will rain on any given day is 0.20, and the probability is independent from day to day. You are trying to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing. There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting a "rainy" forecast is 0.111. Assume you are risk neutral. You place the following monetary values on the potential outcomes: a sunny day at the golf course a rainy day at the movies a rainy day at home $95 $20 -$18 a sunny day at $1 the movies a.
