A test to determine whether a certain antibody is present is
99.299.2%
effective. This means that the test will accurately come back negative if the antibody is not present (in the test subject)
99.299.2%
of the time. The probability of a test coming back positive when the antibody is not present (a false positive) is
0.0080.008.
Suppose the test is given to
fourfour
randomly selected people who do not have the antibody.(a) What is the probability that the test comes back negative for all
fourfour
people?(b) What is the probability that the test comes back positive for at least one of the
fourfour
people?
(a)
Upper P left parenthesis all 4 tests are negative right parenthesisP(all 4 tests are negative)equals=nothing
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

A test to determine whether a certain antibody is present is 99.8% effective. This means that the test will accurately come back negative if the antibody is not present (in the test subject) 99.8% of the time. The probability of a test coming back positive when the antibody is not present (a false positive) is 0.002. Suppose the test is given to six randomly selected people who do not have the antibody.

Elisa Test The standard test for the HIV virus is the Elisa test, which tests for the presence of HIV antibodies. If an individual does not have the HIV virus, the test will come back negative for the presence of HIV antibodies 99.8% of the time and will come back positive for the presence of HIV antibodies 0.2% of the time (a false positive). If an individual has the HIV virus, the test will come back positive 99.8% of the...

A laboratory test for a disease afflicting 5% of the population is either positive, indicating the disease is present, or negative, indicating the disease is not present. When people having the disease are tested, 80% of the tests come back positive, and when people who don’t have the disease are tested, 15% of the tests come back from the lab marked positive (a “false positive” result). What are the chance a randomly selected person’s test results would come back positive?...

In a laboratory, blood test is 95% effective in detecting a certain disease, when it is, in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive (test is positive but patient does not have the disease) result for 1% of the healthy people tested. 0.5% of the population actually has the disease. Given this information, calculate the following probabilities: The probability that the test is positive. Given a negative result, the probability that the person does not have the...

A disease affects 16% of the population. There is a test (not perfect) that detects disease with a probability of 98% (i.e comes back positive when the person has the disease). However, the test produces 5% false positives, i.e comes back positive even though the person does not have the disease. i) A person who has the disease is tested, what is the probability that the test will come back negative. ii) What is the probability that a randomly selected...

To determine whether or not they have a certain disease, 80 people are to have their blood tested. However, rather than testing each individual separately, it has been decided first to group the people in groups of 10. The blood samples of the 10 people in each group will be pooled and analyzed together. If the test is negative. one test will suffice for the 10 people (we are assuming that the pooled test will be positive if and only...
