An athletic league does drug testing of its athletes, 10 percent of whom use drugs. This test, however, is only 95 percent relia

ble. That is, a drug user will test positive with probability 0.95 and negative with probability 0.05, and a nonuser will test negative with probability 0.95 and positive with probability 0.05. Develop a probability tree diagram to determine the posterior probability of each of the following outcomes of testing an athlete.
(a) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is positive.

(b) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is positive.

(c) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is negative.

(d) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is negative.

(e) Use the corresponding Excel template to check your answers in the preceding parts.

Answer:

0.6786

0.3214

1 / 172

171 / 172

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The tree diagram is attached below.

a) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is positive P(D/+)

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D / + ) = P ( D and + ) / P ( +)

= (0.1 * 0.95) / (0.1 * 0.95 + 0.9*0.05)

= 0.6786

Answer: P ( D / + ) = 0.6786

b) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is positive P(D' / + )

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D' / + ) = P ( D' and + ) / P (+)

= (0.9 * 0.05) / (0.1 * 0.95 + 0.9*0.05)

= 0.3214

Answer: P ( D' / + ) = 0.3214

c) The athlete is a drug user, given that the test is negative P (D / - )

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D / - ) = P ( D and - ) / P (-)

= (0.1 * 0.05) / (0.9 * 0.95 + 0.1*0.05)

= 1 / 172

Answer: P ( D / - ) = 1 / 172

(d) The athlete is not a drug user, given that the test is negative P (D' / - )

Using conditional Probability:

P ( D' / - ) = P ( D' and - ) / P (-)

= (0.9 * 0.95) / (0.9 * 0.95 + 0.1*0.05)

= 171 / 172

Answer: P ( D / - ) = 171 / 172

A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 6% Minoxidil. She has on hand 100 ml of a 2% solution and wishes to add some 8% so
son4ous [18]

Answer:

200 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It's proportions basically.

frst off, 2% of 100 ml is 2 ml, so the 100 ml solution has 2 ml of Minoxidil.

Eventually we want 6/100 to be the porportion.  so the total is going to be 100 (from the initial 100 ml) plus however much is needed x.  And we want the amount of Minoxidil to be 2 + 8 percent of x.  so this gets us the equation

6/100 = (2 + .08x)/(100+x)  Then we solve

(100 + x) 6/100 = 2 + .08x

(100 + x) 6 = 200 + 8x

600 + 6x = 200 + 8x

400 = 2x

x = 200

so they should add 200 ml

You can check too.  there is 100 + 200 ml of solution total and 2 + 16 ml of Minoxidil so that's 18/300 = 6/100

3x^2−8x−2+4x−2

=3x^2+−8x+−2+4x+−2

3x^2+−8x+−2+4x+−2

=(3x^2)+(−8x+4x)+(−2+−2)
