A particular hypothetical human disease occurs with a probability of 0.1 in males and with a probability of 0.4 in females.
(a) Assuming that the frequency of males is 0.5 and females 0.5 in a very large population, what is the probability that an individual selected at random from this population will have the disease?
(b) What is the probability that a random individual will be
male given that this person has the disease?

Suppose that the probability of having a particular disease is
0.05. Suppose that the probability of testing positive for the
disease is 0.95 given that a person has the disease and 0.04 given
that the person does not have the disease. Given that a person
tests positive for the disease, what is the probability that they
actually have the disease? (Answer to four decimal places).

It is known that, on average, one hundred people (1 in 100) have
a particular disease. A diagnostic test is devised to screen for
this disease. A positive result is one that suggests that the
person has the disease, and a negative result is one that suggests
that the person does not have the disease. The possibility of
errors in the test gives the following result probabilities:
For a person who has the disease, the probability of a positive
result...

Suppose that a rare disease occurs in the general population in
only one of every 10,000 people. A medical test is used to detect
the disease. If a person has the disease, the probability that the
test result is positive is 0.99. If a person does not have the
disease, the probability that the test result is positive is 0.02.
Given that a person’s test result is positive, find the probability
that this person truly has the rare disease?
