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. (a) What is the probability that the test comes back negative for all six people? (b) What is the probability that the test comes back positive for at least one of the six people?
Homework Answers
P(positive test if antibody is not present) = 0.002
P(negative test if antibody is not present) = 0.998
a) P(the test comes back negative for all six people) = 0.9986
= 0.98806
b) P(the test comes back positive for at least one of the six people) = 1 - P(the test comes back negative for all six people)
= 1 - 0.98806
= 0.01194

A test to determine whether a certain antibody is present is 99.2% effective. This means that the test will accurately come back negative if the antibody is not present (in the test subject) 99.2% of the time. The probability of a test coming back positive when the antibody is not present (a false positive) is 0.008. Suppose the test is given to four randomly selected people who do not have the antibody. a) What s the probability that the test...

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?...

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...

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...

Use the following results from a test for marijuana use, which is provided by a certain drug testing company. Among 141141 subjects with positive test results, there are 2626 false positive results; among 151151 negative results, there are 44 false negative results. If one of the test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject tested negative or did not use marijuana. (Hint: Construct a table.) The probability that a randomly selected subject tested negative or did not...
