A plane is missing, and it is presumed that it was equally likely to have gone down
in any of 4 possible regions. Let 1 βi, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, denote the probability that
the plane will be found upon a search of the ith region when the plane is, in fact, in
that region. (The constants βi are called overlook probabilities, because they represent the probability of overlooking the plane; they are generally attributable to the
geographical and environmental conditions of the regions.) What is the conditional probability that the plane is in the 1st region given that a search of region 1 is
unsuccessful?

8. A plane is missing and is presumed to have probability of i/6 of being down in one of three regions, i=1,2,3. If a plane is actually down in region i, suppose there is a probability of 1- i/6 that the plane will be found upon a search of the i-th region. a) What is the probability the plane is in region 3, given a search of region 3 did not find the plane? b) What is the probability the...

A plane goes missing. According to air trac control, the probability that it has gone missing in region A is 0.2 and in region B is 0.6. From knowledge of these regions, it is known that if a plane goes missing in region A, the probability that it will be found is 0.7, while if a plane goes missing in region B, the probability of it being found is 0.6. Using probability notation, answer the following questions. (a) What is...

         A group of researchers wants to determine if Caucasians and African-Americans are equally likely to inherit cystic fibrosis (CF). They collect data on cystic fibrosis (yes/no) and calculate frequencies for each group. They collected data from 820 people overall. They observed the following frequencies: White-YesCF (80), White-NoCF (430), Black-YesCF (16), Black-NoCF (294). Use a two-variable chi-square analysis (where α = .01) to determine if there are significant differences in cystic fibrosis by race.         7.      Identify the null hypothesis        ...
