Chapter 4: Q6 (page 178)

In Exercises 6鈥�10, use the following results from tests of an experiment to test the effectiveness of an experimental vaccine for children (based on data from USA Today). Express all probabilities in decimal form.


Developed Flu

Did not develop Flu

Vaccine Treatment

1056

Placebo

95

437

If 1 of the 1602 subjects is randomly selected, find the probability of getting 1 that developed flu.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the subject develops flu is 0.0680.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The data is tabulated for the effectiveness of the vaccine.

One subject is randomly selected.

02

Describe the probability of any event

A measure that can determine the likelihood of events is known as probability.

For any event E, the mathematical formula of probability is:

PE=NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes

03

Tabulate the row and column totals

The row and column totals are computed as follows.

Did not develop Flu

04

Compute the probability of the event

Define an event E that the randomly selected subject developed flu.

Using the tabulated values, compute the probability as follows:

The number of subjects who developed flu is 109.

The total number of subjects recorded is 1602.

So, the probability that the subject developed flu is:

PE=1091602=0.06804鈮�0.0680

Thus, the probability that the randomly selected subject developed flu is 0.0680.

Surge Protectors Refer to the accompanying figure showing surge protectors p and q used to protect an expensive television. If there is a surge in the voltage, the surge protector reduces it to a safe level. Assume that each surge protector has a 0.985 probability of working correctly when a voltage surge occurs.

a. If the two surge protectors are arranged in series, what is the probability that a voltage surge will not damage the television? (Do not round the answer.)

b. If the two surge protectors are arranged in parallel, what is the probability that a voltage surge will not damage the television? (Do not round the answer.)

c. Which arrangement should be used for better protection?

At Least One. In Exercises 5鈥�12, find the probability.

Wi-Fi Based on a poll conducted through the e-edition of USA Today, 67% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is the probability that among four randomly selected Internet users, at least one is more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot? How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond?
