Question 1. A vaccine has a 13% probability of failing to prevent a certain disease. The probability of getting the disease if a person is not vaccinated is 30%. In a certain geographic region, 25% of the people get vaccinated. (4-2 187-31 6ed)
a. Draw a tree diagram that represents the experiment above and show the probability in each of the branches and the probability of the final outcomes.
b. If a person is selected at random in this region, find the probability that he or she will not contract the disease. (answer in 3 decimals)
c. If a person who contracted the disease is selected at random in the region, what is the probability that he/she was not vaccinated? (answer in 3 decimals)

A vaccine has a 98% probability of being effective in preventing a certain disease. The probability of getting the disease if the person is not vaccinated is 70%. Fifty percent of the total population gets vaccinated. If a person is selected at random, what is the probability that he/she will contract the disease?

The probability that an individual randomly selected from a particular population has a certain disease is 0.04. A diagnostic test correctly detects the presence of the disease 94% of the time and correctly detects the absence of the disease 96% of the time. If the test is applied twice, the two test results are independent, and both are positive, what is the (posterior) probability that the selected individual has the disease?

Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
