There is a new diagnostic test for a disease that occurs in about 0.05% of the population. The test is not perfect, but will det

ect a person with the disease 99% of the time. It will, however, say that a person without the disease has the disease about 3% of the time. A person is selected at random from the population, and the test indicates that this person has the disease. What are the conditional probabilities that(a) the person has the disease? (b) the person does not have the disease?

Answer:

(a) P(D|TD) = 0.0162 and (b) P(ND|TD) = 0.9838

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events:

D: the person has the disease

ND: the person does not have the disease

TD: the test indicates the person has the disease. Then

P(D) = 0.0005 because the disease occurs in about 0.05% of the population.

P(ND) = 0.9995

P(TD|D) = 0.99 because the test detect a person with the disease 99% of the time.

P(TD|ND) = 0.03 because the test say that a person without the disease has the disease about 3% of the time.

We are looking for (a) P(D|TD) and (b) P(ND|TD)

By Bayes' formula

(a) P(D|TD) = \frac{P(TD|D)P(D)}{P(TD|D)P(D)+P(TD|ND)P(ND)} = \frac{(0.99)(0.0005)}{(0.99)(0.0005)+(0.03)(0.9995)} =

0.0162

and

(b) P(ND|TD) = 1-P(D|TD)=1-0.0162 = 0.9838

AnnZ [28]
The tree grows 6cm per year and we need to find out how long it will take to grow 1 meter. We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. So:
6x = 100
x = 16.67
It will take 16.67 years (or one and two-thirds of a year) for the tree to reach 1 meter.

When a number x is divided by 24 the remainder is 23 and when it is divided by 36 the remainder is 35. Find the least number tha
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

7 is the answer. If a number can be divided by 36 then it can also be divided by 12 which is 3*12 therefor the remainder will be 19-12 which is 7. When 19 is divided by 36, the remainder is 19 and so 19 must be a number. When 19 is divided by 12 the remainder is 7.
