(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? %

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.

Two point charges of equal magnitude are 8.1 cm apart. At the
midpoint of the line connecting them, their combined electric field
has a magnitude of 40 N/C .Find the magnitude of the charges.

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...

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...

America is truly on the verge of a diabetes epidemic. As
mentioned, 26 million Americans have diabetes, and 80 million are
pre-diabetic, and these numbers are only increasing each year. In
your own words, what is diabetes, what are some of the thoughts
running through your head when you read or hear something like
this, and list 2 things you can do to prevent it (type 2)?

1. (a) The chance of winning a lottery game is 1 in
approximately 25 million. Suppose you buy a $1 lottery ticket in
anticipation of winning the $75 million grand prize. Calculate your
expected net winnings for this single ticket and interpret the

Approximately 14 million Americans are addicted to drugs and
alcohol. The federal government estimates that these addicts cost
the U.S. economy $300 billion in medical expenses and lost
productivity. Despite the enormous potential market, many biotech
companies have shied away from funding research and development
(R&D) initiatives to find a cure for drug and alcohol
addiction. Your firm – Drug Abuse Sciences (DAS) – is a notable
exception. It has spent $190 million to date working on a cure, but...
