1.
The following table contains data from a study of two airlines which fly to Small Town, USA.
If a flight is selected at random, find the probability that the flight is on Upstate Airline given the flight is late. (Round answer to four decimals.)
2.
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) |
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)

Solving Problem 2
2)
Given data
Let p = Probability of randomly selecting a False Negative
subject from the 1000 subjects
Then p = 6/1000 = 0.006
3 subjects were selected at random with replacement fromt the 1000
subjects
To find P(all 3 had false negative results)
Since the selection is with replacement, the probability of
selecting any of 3 subjects
is not affected by the previous or future selection of
subject
P(all 3 had false negative results)
= P(first subject is false negative) AND P(second subject is false
negative) AND P(third subject is false negative)
= p * p * p
= 0.006 * 0.006 * 0.006
= 0.000000216
P(all 3 had false negative results) =
