A breathalyser test is used by police in an area to determine whether a driver has an excess of alcohol in their blood. The device is not totally reliable: 7 % of drivers who have not consumed an excess of alcohol give a reading from the breathalyser as being above the legal limit, while 10 % of drivers who are above the legal limit will give a reading below that level. Suppose that in fact 14 % of drivers are above the legal alcohol limit, and the police stop a driver at random. Give answers to the following to four decimal places.

Part a)
What is the probability that the driver is incorrectly classified as being over the limit?


Part b)
What is the probability that the driver is correctly classified as being over the limit?


Part c)
Find the probability that the driver gives a breathalyser test reading that is over the limit.


Part d)
Find the probability that the driver is under the legal limit, given the breathalyser reading is also below the limit.

(10pts) A particular test is used to determine if an individual has a certain virus. Amongt the population being tested, 2% has the virus and 98% does not have the virus. The test will arrive at three possible outcomes: Positive, negative, or inconclusive. The following table of values summarizes the various probabilities of the test outcomes for those with the virus and for those without the virus. outcome of test has the virus does not have the virus Positive test...

The police that patrol a heavily traveled highway claim that the average driver exceeds the 65 miles per hour speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour. Seventy-two randomly selected cars were clocked by airplane radar. The average speed of the 72 cars was 77.40 miles per hour, and the standard deviation of these speeds was 5.90 miles per hour. Test a 5% level of significance whether the average speed by all drivers is more than 75 mph. Make...
