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

A survey of 500 high school students was taken to determine their favorite chocolate candy. Of the 500 students surveyed, 42 lik
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Universal set

U = 500

The number that likes snickers

n(S) = 42

The number that like Twix.

n(T) = 110

The number that like Reeses

n(R) = 125

n(S n T) = 33

n(T n R) = 62

n(S n R) = 26

n( S n R n T) = 22

Then,

n(S n T) only = n(S n T) - n(S n R n T)

n(S n T) only =33 - 22 = 11

n(T n R) only = n(T n R) - n(S n R n T)

n(T n R) only =62 - 22 = 40

n(S n R) only = n(S n R) - n(S n R n T)

n(S n R) only =26 - 22 = 4.

Also,

n(S) only = n(S) - n(S n R) - n(S n T) only

n(S) only = 42 - 26 - 11 = 5

n(T) only = n(T) - n(T n R) - n(T n S) only

n(T) only = 110 - 62 - 11 = 37

n(R) only = n(R) - n(S n R) - n(R n T) only

n(R) only = 124 - 26 - 40 = 58

Then, to know if some student don't like any of the of chocolate,

Let know the number of students that like the chocolate candy

n(S) + n(T)only + n(T n R)only + n(R) only

42 + 37 + 40 + 58 = 177 students.

Therefore, the total students that like chocolate candy is 177, so those  that does not like any of them are

n(S U R U T)' = U – n(S U R U T)

n(S U R U T) = 500 - 177 = 323.

So, the question is how many student likes at most 2 kinds of these chocolates, this means that they can like exactly 2 or less or even none.

So, this category are

n(2 most) = n(S n T)only + n(R n T)only + n(S n R)only + n(s)only + n(T)only + n(R)only + n(S U R U T)'

n(2 most) = 11 + 40 + 4 + 5 + 37 + 58 + 323

n(2 most) = 478

The correct answer is E.

Sati [7]

Answer:

1. D 2. A 3. Distribute the four in 4(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. It says that Jamie is saying that they are "not equivalent".

2. You have to use the distributive property to distribute the 4 to x and to the 1.

3. After distributing, compare the two expressions and now see if they are equivalent or not.

Paladinen [302]

The ratio of x:y:z = 20:8:11

Total unit = 20+8+11 = 39

Value of 1 unit ratio = 78/39 = 2

So, the water in container X, 20(2) = 40 liters

Your answer is 40 liters
