<span>a) The cell corresponding to a positive diagnosis when the person has antibodies present as well as the cell for a negative diagnosis when the person has no antibodies present are the cells representing a CORRECT diagnosis.
</span>
The cell corresponding to a negative diagnosis when you actually have antibodies present is called a FALSE NEGATIVE and is considered as a TYPE II error.


The cell corresponding to a positive diagnosis when you actually don't have antibodies present is called a FALSE POSITIVE and is considered as a TYPE I error.

For the tree diagram for the questions below, refer to the picture attached.

b) To know the probability that a person without HIV will be diagnosed positive (false positive), we just trace the tree diagram from population to "antibodies not present" to "positive". The tree diagram will give us a value of 0.00588.

ANSWER: 
The probability of a false positive is 0.00588 or 0.588%.

c) We do the same thing as the previous subproblem to determine the probability that a person with HIV will be diagnosed as negative. We trace the tree diagram from population to "antibodies present" to "negative". The tree diagram will give us a value of 0.003.

ANSWER: 
The probability of a false negative is 0.003 or 0.3%.

d) Same thing for this subproblem. We trace the tree diagram from population to "antibodies present" to "positive" to know that the value is 0.01997.

ANSWER: 
The probability that a person with HIV will be diagnosed as positive is 0.01997 or 1.997%.

Which of the pairs of events below is mutually exclusive?
Nady [450]

Answer:

Drawing an ace of spades and then drawing another ace of spades without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given four pair of events:

1. Drawing an ace of spades and then drawing another ace of spades without replacement from a standard deck of cards

2. Drawing a 2 and drawing a 4 with replacement from a standard deck of cards

3. Drawing a heart and then drawing a spade without replacement from a standard deck of cards

4. Drawing a jack and then drawing a 7 without replacement from a standard deck of cards

To find:

Which of the pairs is mutually exclusive?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the definition of mutually exclusive events.

Mutually exclusive events do not have any case in common.

In other words, two events are known as mutually exclusive when both the events can not occur at the same time.

Now, let us have a look at the given options one by one:

1. Drawing an ace of spades and then drawing another ace of spades without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

We know that there is only one ace of spades in a standard deck.

Therefore, the two events can not occur one after the other, so these are mutually exclusive events.

2. Drawing a 2 and drawing a 4 with replacement from a standard deck of cards.

The two events can occur one after the other, so these are not mutually exclusive.

3. Drawing a heart and then drawing a spade without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

Separate cards are drawn one after the other, so not mutually exclusive.

4. Drawing a jack and then drawing a 7 without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

Separate cards are drawn one after the other, so not mutually exclusive.
