A virus has a rare occurrence:   the virus occurs,   on average,     20 out of every 200000 people. An antibody test has been devised.    Among those with the virus,    the test correctly detects the person has been infected with probability 0.95.       Among those without the virus,   the test correctly identifies the person as virus free 0.95 % of the time. Suppose  you have tested positive for the disease.    How worried should you be? Answer this by computing your probability of having the...

Kimon’s dog, Bobos, every day eats on average 3 pounds of kibble with a standard deviation of 0.5 pounds. Kimon buys the kibble from an online retailer that charges $2 per pound of kibble.

Every year in Britain there is a No Smoking Day, where many people voluntarily stop smoking for a day. This No Smoking Day occurs on the second Wednesday of March each year. Data are collected about nonfatal injuries on the job, which allows a test of the hypothesis that stopping smoking affects the injury rate (Walters et al., 1998). Many factors affect injury rate, though, such as the year, time of week, etc., so we would like to be able...
