The screening process for detecting a rare disease is not perfect. Researchers have developed a blood test that is considered fa

irly reliable. It gives a positive reaction in 98.4% of the people who have that disease. However, it erroneously gives a positive reaction in 1.9% of the people who do not have the disease. Consider the null hypothesis "the individual does not have the disease" to answer the following questions.
a. What is the probability of Type I error? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Answer:

Type I: 1.9%, Type II: 1.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

given null hypothesis

H0=the individual has not taken steroids.

type 1 error-falsely rejecting the null hypothesis

⇒   actually the null hypothesis is true⇒the individual has not taken steroids.

 but we rejected it ⇒our prediction is the individual has taken steroids.

typr II error- not rejecting null hypothesis when it has to be rejected

⇒actually null hypothesis is false ⇒the individual has taken steroids.

but we didnt reject⇒the individual has not taken steroids.

let us denote

the individual has taken steroids by 1

the individual has not  taken steroids.by 0

                            predicted

                              1       0

   actual          1    98.4%  1.6%

                        0   1.9%   98.1%

so for type 1 error  

 actual-0

predicted-1

therefore from above table we can see that probability of Type I error is 1.9%=0.019

so for type II error

   actual-1

predicted-0

therefore from above table we can see that probability of Type I error is 1.6%=0.016

Is this proportion true 12/15=47/50<br>16/36=12/27<br>15/20=24/26<br>or 4/16=2/14
jekas [21]
For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.

For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!

I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
