About 1 in 1,100 people have IQs over 150. If a subject receives a score of greater than some specified amount, they are considered by the psychologist to have an IQ over 150. But the psychologist's test is not perfect. Although all individuals with IQ over 150 will definitely receive such a score, individuals with IQs less than 150 can also receive such scores about 0.03% of the time due to lucky guessing. Given that a subject in the study is labeled as having an IQ over 150, what is the probability that they actually have an IQ below 150? Round your answer to five decimal places. Answer: In Canada, about 29.98% of women over 40 will develop breast cancer in any given year. A common screening test for cancer is the mammogram, but it is not perfect. In about 9.15% of patients with breast cancer, the test gives a false negative: it indicates a woman does not have breast cancer when she does have breast cancer. Similarly, the test gives a false positive in 76.02% of patients who do not have breast cancer: it indicates these patients have breast cancer when they actually do not. If a randomly selected woman over 40 is tested for breast cancer using a mammogram and the test is positive - that is, the test suggests the woman has cancer - what is the probability she has breast cancer? Round your answer to five decimal places. Answer: A blood test for diabetes gives a positive result with a proportion of 0.26 when an individual has diabetes and a negative result with a proportion of 0.31 when they do not. Approximately a proportion of 0.31 of the population has diabetes. If a randomly chosen citizen tested negative, what is the probability that they actually have diabetes? Round your answer to five decimals. Answer: Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease caused by a mutation on the X chromosome. During reproduction this mutation arises spontaneously on each of the X chromosomes of the parents, independently and with probability =0.362. We can therefore view the production of a child as consisting of two probabilistic experiments. First, one of the two sex chromosomes is chosen with equal probability from each parent. Second, for each X chromosome that is chosen, the muscular dystrophy mutation arises independently with probability . All male children carrying the mutation will develop muscular dystrophy, whereas only females whose X chromosomes both carry the mutation will develop the disease. What is the probability that a child will develop the disease? Round your answer to five decimal places. Answer: About 1 in 1,100 people have IQs over 150.
