Assume a disease is found in 0.1% (1 out of 1000) of the population. A test for the disease has a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 98%. Given that you tested positive for this disease,what is the probability that you truly have the disease?

A test for a certain disease is found to be 95% accurate, meaning that it will correctly diagnose the disease in 95 out of 100 people who have the ailment. The test is also 95% accurate for a negative result, meaning that it will correctly exclude the disease in 95 out of 100 people who do not have the ailment. For a certain segment of the population, the incidence of the disease is 4%. (1) If a person tests positive,...

The prevalence of a disease D in the population is 10%. A new test is introduced by a laboratory with the following characteristics. The laboratory notes that if someone has the disease, his or her test will be positive 90% of the time (P(pos|D) = 0.90). However, a completely healthy individual will test positive with probability 0.06 (P (pos|Dc) = .06). (a) If we randomly select 5 people from this population, what is the probability that all of them...

Let’s assume there is 1 fake coin out of 1000 coins. ( P[Coin=fake] = 0.001 ) The probability of showing head for fake coin is 0.9 (P[Head | Coin=fake] = 0.9). For normal coin, the probability of showing head is 0.5 (P[Head | Coin=normal] = 0.5). i. Bayes theorem, If you have a coin, and toss it one time. You got a head. What is the probability that this coin is fake? ii. If you toss a coin 10 times, you...
