A Covid-19 diagnostic test made in China is 75% accurate on those persons who are infected and 80% accurate on those who are not. If 15% of the population of a particular city is infected and these tests are administered to almost everybody, compute the probability that a particular individual is infected, given that the test indicates that the individual has Covid-19. If the city has a million people, would you pay $38 million to test the whole population?

A diagnostic test is being developed to diagnose a new virus that has infected 10% of the world's population. If a person is infected with the virus, the probability that the diagnostic test comes back positive is 0.9 and if a person is not infected with the virus, the probability that the diagnostic test comes back positive is 0.25. Suppose a randomly seleted person is given the diagnostic test. Given that the test came back negative, find the probability that...

The safety protocols to follow not to be infected with COVID-19 are known and well explained. Ghana has even enacted laws that strictly punish those who do not follow the protocols especially the wearing of masks, social distancing and washing of hands. The major challenge is poor implementation of the laws. People are disobeying the laws, ignoring the protocols and behaving as if the virus and the laws do not exist. Obviously, there is an implementation problem. a) Apply the...

The NBA is using a “Health Ring” to monitor players for COVID-19. It is as accurate as Test A above. They plan on using the ring to help them identify players with COVID-19. The players will also have to take a test like Test B above. But, there won’t be a follow up test. Any player that tests positive will have a mandatory 2-week quarantine. Given the probabilities that a positive test means the player has COVID-19: (3-4 sentences each)...

A screening test wished to improve the diagnostic ability to identify Zika-infected fetuses in pregnancy rather than after birth. A total of 330 pregnant women (carrying one baby each) in Miami were tested. A total of 36 babies had Zika; 24 of whom tested positive. A total of 300 babies tested negative for the virus. What is the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the test? Please match the measures to their correct answers below....
