Let E and F be two independent events in a sample space with P(E) = 0.5 and P(F) = 0.7. Determine, if possible, P(E or F). Your Answer: P(E or F) = 0.85 Instructors Comment:

1.0 Correct

Let A and B be two events in a sample space with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.7. Determine, if possible, P(A and B).

1.0 Correct

P(A and B) cannot be determined from the information in Your the question Answer: Instructors Comment: 8 Let A and B be two mutually exclusive events in a sample space with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.3. Determine, if possible, P(A or B). Your Answer: P(A or B) = 0.5 Instructors Comment: 9 Let C and D be two events in a sample space, with P(C) = 0.12, P(D) = 0.36 and P(C and D) = 0.03. Determine (if possible) the conditional probability P(C | D). Your Answer: P(C | D) = 1/12 Instructors Comment: 10 A quick and inexpensive blood test is introduced to screen for a disease which we will call D2. When people who have the antibodies for D2 in their blood have the screening test, they have a 90% chance of getting a + result (and a 10% chance of a negative result). When people who do not have the antibodies for D2 in their blood have the screening test, they have a 10% chance of getting a + result (and a 90% chance of a negative result). Assume that 10% of the population have the antibodies in their blood. A random person has a screening blood test. What is the probability that the test comes back positive?
