In: Statistics and Probability
A medical condition affects about 20% of non-Hispanic White Americans, 60% of Hispanic Americans, and 80% of African, Asian, and Native Americans. Seventy-six percent of U.S. residents are non-Hispanic Whites, 9% of them are Hispanic, and 15% are African, Asian, or Native American. If a person is selected from this group of people, what is the probability that the person will have the medical condition? (Give an exact answer. Do not round.)
Answer:
P(non-Hispanic White Americans) = 0.76
P(Hispanic) = 0.09
P(frican, Asian, or Native American) = 0.15
P(medical condition | non-Hispanic White Americans) = 0.20
P(medical condition | Hispanic) = 0.60
P(medical condition | African, Asian, or Native American) = 0.80
P(medical condition) = P(medical condition | non-Hispanic White Americans) * P(non-Hispanic White Americans) + P(medical condition | Hispanic) * P(Hispanic) + P(medical condition | African, Asian, or Native American) * P(African, Asian, or Native American)
= 0.76 * 0.2 + 0.09 * 0.6 + 0.15 * 0.8
= 0.326
