Use the table below to find the probability.

Positive Test Result Negative Test Result
Subject Uses Drugs

44

(True Positive)

6

(False Negative)

Subject is Not a Drug User

90

(False Positive)

860

(True Negative)

A. If 2 of the 1000 test subjects are randomly selected, find the probability that both had false positive results. Assume that the 2 selections are made without replacement. (Round to 4 decimals)

B.

If 3 of the 1000 test subjects are randomly selected, find the probability that all had false negative results. Assume that the 3 selections are made with replacement. (Round to 9 decimals)

74.

Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean. (Round to the nearest thousandth). If a probability distribution is not given, state (not a probability distribution). (Check your spelling!)

x P(x)
0 0.658
1 0.287
2 0.050
3 0.004
4 0.001

Positive Test Result Negative Test Result Total
Subject Uses Drugs 44 6 50
Subject is not a Drug User 90 860 950
Total 134 866 1000

A. There are total 1000 subjects and 90 "False Positive" Subjects.
So 2 subjects can be chosen from 1000 subjects in- ways. (by without replacement)
and 2 subjects can be chosen from 90 "False Positive" subjects in - ways (by without replacement)

The Probability that if 2 subjects are randomly chosen from 1000 subjects. Then the probability that both had false positive results is:

B. There are total 1000 subjects and 6 "False Negative" Subjects.

So 3 subjects can be chosen from 1000 subjects in- ways. (by with replacement)
and 3 subjects can be chosen from 6 "False negative" subjects in  - ways (by with replacement)

The Probability that if 3 subjects are randomly chosen from 1000 subjects. Then the probability that all had false negative cases is:

74. Determination whether the following the given probability distribution or not:
The given distribution is:

x p(x)
0 0.658
1 0.287
2 0.050
3 0.004
4 0.001


To determine whether this distribution is probability distribution or not we've to check whether-

  1. for all i=0,1,2,3,4

So as we can see that here all are between 0 to 1, so first condition satisfied.
and

We can say that the given distribution is probability distribution.

Mean=E(X)=
=0.403

Did the Benedict’s test for reducing sugars net a positive or negative result for milk? Research the sugar content of milk and the definition of a reducing sugar to explain if your result is what you would expect. Background info: Milk started as white. We added 40 drops of Benedict’s reagent and let sit in boiling water for 10 minutes. The milk turned a burnt orange color, indicating that it had reduced sugars.
