A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of the mysterious Brainlesserian disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.7. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.08. It is estimated that 18 % of the population who take this test have the disease. You may want to construct a table as in your course materials. Use a population of 10,000 people. If the test administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?Express your answer rounded correctly to three decimal places.

Solution :

It is given that :

P (positive | Has disease) = 0.7

P (positive | No disease) = 0.08

P (has disease) = 0.18

P (No disease) = 1 - 0.18

                        = 0.82

Now if test administered to the individual is positive, the probability that the person actually have the disease is

P (Has disease | positive)    ......(1)

The P(positive) is,

                = P(positive | has disease) x P(Has disease) + P(positive | no disease) x P(No disease)

                 = 0.7 (0.19) + 0.04 (0.81)

                = 0.1654

Now substituting the values in the equation (1), we get

P (Has disease | positive)    

                                          = 0.8041  

$20.01

step-by-step explanation:

the sale price is (1.00 - 0.77)($87), or 0.23($87), or $20.01.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
