A new test to detect TB has been designed. It is estimated that 88% of people taking this test have the disease. The test detect

s the disease in 97% of those who have the disease. The test does not detect the disease in 99% of those who do not have the disease.
If a person taking the test is chosen at random, what is the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease?

a) 0.1452b) 0.9900c) 0.0100d) 0.0300e) 0.0264f) None of the above.

Answer:

Correct option: (a) 0.1452

Step-by-step explanation:

The new test designed for detecting TB is being analysed.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = a person has the disease

<em>X</em> = the test is positive.

The information provided is:

P(D)=0.88\\P(X|D)=0.97\\P(X^{c}|D^{c})=0.99

Compute the probability that a person does not have the disease as follows:

P(D^{c})=1-P(D)=1-0.88=0.12

The probability of a person not having the disease is 0.12.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does have the disease as follows:

P(X^{c}\cap D)=P(X^{c}|D)P(D)\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times P(D)\\=[1-0.97]\times 0.88\\=0.03\times 0.88\\=0.0264

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does not have the disease as follows:

P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})=P(X^{c}|D^{c})P(D^{c})\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times{1- P(D)]\\=0.99\times 0.12\\=0.1188

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative  as follows:

P(X^{c})=P(X^{c}\cap D)+P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})

           =0.0264+0.1188\\=0.1452

Thus, the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease is 0.1452.

Use each model to predict the life expectancy of residents of a country for which the average annual income is $80,000
Mandarinka [93]

The life expectancies of residents of a country for which the average annual income is $80,000 for the three models are 12309.9352, 172.2436 and 4828.1393

The life expectancies of the models are given as:

y =69.9352 + 0.1530\times (income) --- model 1

y =4.2436 + 0.0021\times (income) --- model 2

y =4.1393 + 0.0603\times (income) --- model 3

Given that the average annual income is $80,000;

We simply substitute 80000 for income in the equations of the three models.

So, we have:

<u>Model 1</u>

y =69.9352 + 0.1530\times (income)

y =69.9352 + 0.1530\times 80000

y =12309.9352

<u>Model 2</u>

y =4.2436 + 0.0021\times (income)

y =4.2436 + 0.0021\times 80000

y =172.2436

<u>Model 3</u>

y =4.1393 + 0.0603\times (income)

y =4.1393 + 0.0603\times 80000

y =4828.1393

Hence, the life expectancies are 12309.9352, 172.2436 and 4828.1393
