We know that the probability of a person getting infected with COVID-19 (based on global data) is 30% and the probability of dying because of COVID-19 (gobally) is 7.012%

After doing tests to 3,500 people in Florida we have found that 86% have not tested positive for COVID-19 and that 4.9% of the ones that tested positive died.

1. Calculate the probability of a randomly chosen person in Florida to NOT to get infected with COVID-19

2. Calculate the probability of a person selected randomly in Florida gets COVID-19 and never gets tested

3.Calculate the probability of a person selected randomly in Florida DOES NOT get COVID-19 and doesn't get tested

4. Calculate the probability of a person selected randomly in Florida Dies after getting COVID-19. (Remember: P(B/A) = P(AɅB) / P(A))

Suppose that a test for determining whether a person has been infected with COVID-19 has a 20% rate of false positives (i.e. in 20% of applications, the test falsely indicates that a person has been infected with COVID-19 when they actually have not). Now, consider the likelihood that when 100 healthy people are tested, the test falsely indicates that between 10 and 30 of them are infected. a. Calculate the expected number of false positives (μ) in a sample of...

One of the current tests for detecting COVID-19 (the RT-PCR test rather than the antibodies test) is better than chance, but not great. The test fails to detect COVID-19 in about 30% of patients who in fact are infected.1 But so-called "false positives" are rarer; let's estimate that the test "detects" COVID-19 in about 0.5% of patients who are not in fact infected. As of April 6, 2020, there were 1,266 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in B.C. by testing.2 Since...

Answer the question "What is the probability that someone you know will die from COVID-19 this year?" and give your opinion. Hint: You take for example the region where you live, the number of confirmed cases in this region and the population. N represents the total number of cases infected in the region, and p is the probability of death in Lebanon. You calculate the P(X=1).

Based on a poll, among adults who regret getting tattoos, 19% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected, and find the indicated probability. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattos. b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was...

⦁   Suppose in August the Covid-19 situation has calmed down. Since not everyone shows symptoms and some symptoms could have been a different pneumonia we might use an anti-body test to see if people have had the disease. Let’s assume by August 40% of the US has had the disease. The anti-body test is not perfect. Some people will get “false positives” or “false negatives”. 90% of people who test positive will actually have had the disease. 95% of people...

Wear a Mask?  Earlier studies (March, 2020) of the Los Angeles response to the COVID-19 epidemic indicated that 76% of Los Angeles based residents wear a mask consistently when outdoors. A research virologist believes that TODAY (June 1, 2020), this rate is much different.  She conducts a survey of 200 randomly selected Los Angeles residents and finds that 124 of them wear a mask consistently when outdoors. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test that addresses the virologist’s suspicions. Test at a 10% level...

Conditional Probability Activity 1: CHC Student Survey Suppose a survey of 100 randomly selected CHC students resulted in a sample of 60 male and 40 female students. Of the males, 2/3 graduated from a high school in Philadelphia, while the remainder had high school diplomas from out-of-the-city. Of the females, 3/4 were from Philadelphia high schools. This information is represented in the following contingency table: Phila. HS Out-of-City Totals Male 40 20 60 Female 30 10 40 Totals 70 30...
