ople with the disease test positive and only 0.4% of the people who don't have it test positive.

Answer:

A)The probability that someone who tests positive has the disease is 0.9995

B)The probability that someone who tests negative does not have the disease is 0.99999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the event that a person has a disease

Let D^c be the event that a person don't have a disease

Let A be the event that a person is tested positive for that disease.

P(D|A) = Probability that someone has a disease given that he tests positive.

We are given that There is an excellent test for the disease; 98.8% of the people with the disease test positive

So, P(A|D)=probability that a person is tested positive given he has a disease = 0.988

We are also given that  one person in 10,000 people has a rare genetic disease.

So,P(D)=\frac{1}{10000}

Only 0.4% of the people who don't have it test positive.

P(A|D^c) = probability that a person is tested positive given he don't have a disease = 0.004

P(D^c)=1-\frac{1}{10000}

Formula:P(D|A)=\frac{P(A|D)P(D)}{P(A|D)P(D^c)+P(A|D^c)P(D^c)}

P(D|A)=\frac{0.988 \times \frac{1}{10000}}{0.988 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000}))+0.004 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000})}

P(D|A)=\frac{2470}{2471}=0.9995

P(D|A)=0.9995

A)The probability that someone who tests positive has the disease is 0.9995

(B)

P(D^c|A^c)=probability that someone does not have disease given that he tests negative

P(A^c|D^c)=probability that a person tests negative given that he does not have disease =1-0.004

=0.996

P(A^c|D)=probability that a person tests negative given that he has a disease =1-0.988=0.012

Formula: P(D^c|A^c)=\frac{P(A^c|D^c)P(D^c)}{P(A^c|D^c)P(D^c)+P(A^c|D)P(D)}

P(D^c|A^c)=\frac{0.996 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000})}{0.996 \times (1-\frac{1}{10000})+0.012 \times \frac{1}{1000}}

P(D^c|A^c)=0.99999

B)The probability that someone who tests negative does not have the disease is 0.99999

Jessica is walking home from a friend's house after 2 minutes she is 1.6 miles from home 8 minutes after leaving she is 1.1 mile
Artist 52 [7]

1.6 miles - 1.1 miles = 0.5 miles

8 minutes - 2 minutes = 6 minutes

She traveled 0.5 miles in 6 minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

60 minutes / 6 minutes = 10

0.5 x 10 = 5

She is walking 5 miles per hour.

Seventy percent of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive
NeX [460]

Answer:

(a) 0.343

(b) 0.657

(c) 0.189

(d) 0.216

(e) 0.353

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(a vehicle passing the test) = p

                        p = \frac{70}{100} = 0.7  

Let P(a vehicle not passing the test) = q

                         q = 1 - p

                         q = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) P(all of the next three vehicles inspected pass) = P(ppp)

                           = 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7

                           = 0.343

(b) P(at least one of the next three inspected fails) = P(qpp or qqp or pqp or pqq or ppq or qpq or qqq)

      = (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3)

      = 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.027

      = 0.657

(c) P(exactly one of the next three inspected passes) = P(pqq or qpq or qqp)

                 =  (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7)

                 = 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063

                 = 0.189

(d) P(at most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) = P(pqq or qpq or qqp or qqq)

                 =  (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3)

                 = 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.027

                 = 0.216

(e) Given that at least one of the next 3 vehicles passes inspection, what is the probability that all 3 pass (a conditional probability)?

P(at least one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) = P(ppp or ppq or pqp or qpp or pqq or qpq or qqp)

=  (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7)

= 0.343 + 0.147 + 0.147 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063

                  = 0.973  

With the condition that at least one of the next 3 vehicles passes inspection, the probability that all 3 pass is,

                         = \frac{P(all\ of\ the\ next\ three\ vehicles\ inspected\ pass)}{P(at\ least\ one\ of\ the\ next\ three\ vehicles\ inspected\ passes)}

                         = \frac{0.343}{0.973}

                         = 0.353
