Each of the members of a 7-judge panel independently makes a correct decision with probability .7. If the panel鈥檚 decision is made by majority rule, what is the probability that the panel makes the correct decision? Given that 4 of the judges agreed, what is the probability that the panel made the correct decision?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the panel makes the correct decision is 0.873964. If 4 of the judges agreed, then the probability that the panel made the correct decision is0.7.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given in the question that, the 7 judge panel independently makes a correct decision with probability.

We have to find the probability that the panel makes the correct decision, if the panel's decision is made by majority rule.

We need to find the probability that the panel makes the correct decision, if 4 of the judges agreed.

02

Explanation

Define random variable xthat count how many of the judges had made the right decision .

We are given that X~Binom(7,0.7)

The panel will make the correct decision if and only if x4.

Hence, the probability that the panel makes the correct decision is

P(X4)=k=477k0.7k0.37k

=0.873964

03

Finding the probability , if 4 of the judges agreed

Suppose that exactly four judges have agreed, there exist two options.

They could have agreed to make the right decision and they could have agreed to make the wrong decision.

Therefore, we could write the two events as X=4andX=3.

So the required conditional probability is :

P(X4X=4X=3)=P((X4)(X=4X=3))P(X=4X=3)

=P(X=4)P(X4)+P(X=3)=740.740.33740.740.33+730.730.34

=0.7

04

Final answer 

The probability that the panel makes the correct decision is 0.873964.

If 4 of the judges agreed, then the probability that the panel made the correct decision is0.7

When coin 1 is flipped, it lands on heads with probability .4; when coin 2 is flipped, it lands on heads with probability .7. One of these coins is randomly chosen and flipped 10 times.

(a) What is the probability that the coin lands on heads on exactly 7 of the 10 flips?

(b) Given that the first of these 10 flips lands heads, what is the conditional probability that exactly 7 of the 10 flips land on heads?

Each of 500 soldiers in an army company independently has a certain disease with probability 1/103. This disease will show up in a blood test, and to facilitate matters, blood samples from all 500 soldiers are pooled and tested.

(a) What is the (approximate) probability that the blood test will be positive (that is, at least one person has the disease)? Suppose now that the blood test yields a positive result.

(b) What is the probability, under this circumstance, that more than one person has the disease? Now, suppose one of the 500 people is Jones, who knows that he has the disease.

(c) What does Jones think is the probability that more than one person has the disease? Because the pooled test was positive, the authorities have decided to test each individual separately. The first i 鈭 1 of these tests were negative, and the ith one鈥攚hich was on Jones鈥攚as positive.

(d) Given the preceding scenario, what is the probability, as a function of i, that any of the remaining people have the disease?
