Suppose that bugs are present in 1% of all computer programs. A computer de-bugging program detects an actual bug with probabili

ty 0.99, but falsely detects a nonexistent bug with probability .02. Give numerical answers to each of the following questions:
(i) If the de-bugging program claims to have found a bug in program A, what is the probability that the bug is actually present?

(ii) Suppose that Program A is tested twice, the two tests conducted independently. If the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests, what is the probability that a bug is actually present?

(iii) Suppose that Program A is tested three times, the three tests conducted independently. If the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests, what is the probability that a bug is actually present?

Answer:

(i) The probability that there is a bug in the program given that the de-bugging program has detected the bug is 0.3333.

(ii) The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests is 0.1111.

(iii) The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests is 0.037.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>B</em> = bugs are present in a computer program.

<em>D</em> = a de-bugging program detects the bug.

The information provided is:

P(B) =0.01\\P(D|B)=0.99\\P(D|B^{c})=0.02

(i)

The probability that there is a bug in the program given that the de-bugging program has detected the bug is, P (B | D).

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event <em>E </em>given that another event <em>X</em> has already occurred is:

P(E|X)=\frac{P(X|E)P(E)}{P(X|E)P(E)+P(X|E^{c})P(E^{c})}

Use the Bayes' theorem to compute the value of P (B | D) as follows:

P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|B^{c})P(B^{c})}=\frac{(0.99\times 0.01)}{(0.99\times 0.01)+(0.02\times (1-0.01))}=0.3333

Thus, the probability that there is a bug in the program given that the de-bugging program has detected the bug is 0.3333.

(ii)

The probability that a bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bug is present is:

P (B|D) = 0.3333

Now it is provided that two tests are performed on the program A.

Both the test are independent of each other.

The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests is:

P (Bugs are actually present | Detects on both test) = P (B|D) × P (B|D)

                                                                                     =0.3333\times 0.3333\\=0.11108889\\\approx 0.1111

Thus, the probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests is 0.1111.

(iii)

Now it is provided that three tests are performed on the program A.

All the three tests are independent of each other.

The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests is:

P (Bugs are actually present | Detects on all 3 test)

= P (B|D) × P (B|D) × P (B|D)

=0.3333\times 0.3333\times 0.3333\\=0.037025927037\\\approx 0.037

Thus, the probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests is 0.037.

A statistics professor drew a random sample of 81 observations and found that x with bar on top equals 62 s equals 15. Estimate
ratelena [41]

Answer:

LCL = 59.26 to two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to estimate the LCL of the population mean with 90% confidence

We proceed as follows;

Given alpha = 0.1, then Z(0.05)=1.645 (from standard normal table), s = 15

Mathematically;

LCL =x_bar -Z*s/√( n)= 62 - (1.645 * 15)/√81

LCL = 62- (24.675)/9 = 59.2583

LCL = 59.26 to two decimal places

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -2/5x + 4/5
valkas [14]
To find a perpendicular line, you need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope.

-2/5 flips into -5/2
Since -2/5 is negative, -5/2 turns positive, so 5/2.

Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to Y = -2/5x + 4/5 is 5/2

Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value.Your mother did not die two years before you were born.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In reality , the child will not born, if mother die before his conception and keeping in mind that the pregnancy takes about 9 months after conception.

Now according to the statement "Your mother could not have died two years before you were born." is always true and therefore the probability equals 1 .
