(1 point) It is estimated that approximately 8.1% of Americans are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a certain diagnostic evaluation for diabetes correctly diagnoses 95% of all adults over 40 with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 3.5% of all adults over 40 without diabetes as having the disease.

Use this information and a theoretical group of 10,000 Americans to construct a table for this testing scenario. Round all answers and results to four decimal places.

Test Positive Test Negative Total
Have Diabetes
Do not have Diabetes
Total 10,000

What percentage of Americans who test positive for diabetes would we expect to actually have the disease?  %

What percentage of Americans who test negative for diabetes would we expect to actually have the disease?  %

What percentage of Americans who test positive will not have the disease?  %

The Federal Highway Administration predicts that Americans spend 8.1 billion hours per year in traffic jams. Most traffic experts believe that adding and enlarging highway systems will not alleviate the problem. As a result, current research on traffic management is focusing on three areas: (1) the development of computerized dashboard navigational systems; (2) the development of roadside sensors and signals that monitor and help manage the flow of traffic; and (3) the development of automated steering and speed controls that...

Researchers believe that a higher percentage of males are afflicted with cysturina than females. Suppose of the 50 individuals, 15 were females and the remainder were males. Using 99% confidence, estimate the proportion of females with cysturina. Then estimate the proportion of females afflicted with cysturina at 96% confidence.

The distribution of systolic blood pressures in a group of females with diabetes is approximately normal with unknown mean. Fortunately, the standard deviation is known: σ= 11.8 mm/Hg. In a sample of 10 women from this group the mean systolic blood pressure was x̅= 130 mmHg. Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the true mean systolic blood pressure, μ, for the group of diabetic women Repeat (a) but construct a 90% confidence interval instead. How does the two confidence...
