Medical risks Morris鈥檚 kidneys are failing, and he is awaiting a kidney transplant. His doctor gives him this information for patients in his condition: 90% survive the transplant and 10% die. The transplant succeeds in 60% of those who survive, and the other 40% must return to kidney dialysis. The proportions who survive five years are 70% for those with a new kidney and

50% for those who return to dialysis.

(a) Make a tree diagram to represent this setting.

(b) Find the probability that Morris will survive for five years. Show your work.

Part (b) P(Survive5years)=55.8%

Part (a) The tree diagram is

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information

Ninety percent of those who receive a kidney transplant survive, but ten percent die. The transplant is successful in 60%of individuals who survive, while the remaining 40% must return to dialysis. Those who receive a new kidney have a 70% chance of surviving five years, whereas those who return to dialysis have a 50% chance.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Explanation

There are two choices, therefore at each knot, two branches are needed:

Theprobability=ThenumberoffavorableoutcomesThetotalnumberofpossibleoutcomes

03

Part (b) Step 1. Concept Used

Multiplication rule P(ABC)=P(A)P(B)P(C)

04

Part (b) Step 2. Calculation

Now, for each sort of medical risk, determine the likelihood of paying using a credit card. P(Survive5yearsSucceedsSurvive)=90%60%70%

=0.90.60.7=0.3780

P(Survive5yearsReturntodialysisSurvive)=90%40%50%

=0.90.40.5=0.1800

Fill in the blanks with the corresponding probabilities:

P(Survive5years)=0.3780+0.1800P(Survive5years)=0.558P(Survive5years)=55.8%

Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select passengers for an extra security check prior to boarding. One such flight had 76passengers12in first class and 64 in coach class. Some passengers were surprised when none of the 10passengers chosen for screening were seated in first class. We can use a simulation to see if this result is likely to happen by chance.

(a) State the question of interest using the language of probability.

(b) How would you use random digits to imitate one repetition of the process? What variable would you measure?

(c) Use the line of random digits below to perform one repetition. Copy these digits onto your paper. Mark directly on or above them to show how you determined the outcomes of the chance process.

Free downloads? Illegal music downloading has become a big problem: 29% of Internet users download music files, and 67% of downloaders say they

don鈥檛 care if the music is copyrighted.15 What percent of Internet users download music and don鈥檛 care if it鈥檚 copyrighted? Write the information given in terms of probabilities, and use the general multiplication rule.

Who eats breakfast? Refer to Exercise 49.

(a) Construct a Venn diagram that models the chance process using events B: eats breakfast regularly, and M: is male.

(b) Find P(BM) Interpret this value in context.

(c) Find P(BcMc) Interpret this value in context.

Spinning a quarter With your forefinger, hold a new quarter (with a state featured on the reverse) upright, on its edge, on a hard surface. Then flick it with your other forefinger so that it spins for some time before it falls and comes to rest. Spin the coin a total of 25 times, and record the results.

(a) What鈥檚 your estimate for the probability of heads? Why?

(b) Explain how you could get an even better estimate.

Box of chocolates According to Forrest Gump, 鈥淟ife is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you鈥檙e gonna get.鈥 Suppose a candy maker offers a

special 鈥淕ump box鈥 with 20 chocolate candies that look the same. In fact, 14 of the candies have soft centers and 6 have hard centers. Choose 2 of the

candies from a Gump box at random.

(a) Draw a tree diagram that shows the sample space of this chance process.

(b) Find the probability that one of the chocolates has a soft center and the other one doesn鈥檛.
