A total of 70 people were surveyed. The following Venn diagram shows
the number of people who like pizza and who like soda.
What is the probability that someone likes pizza, assuming that they also like
soda? Answer choices are in a percentage format, rounded to the nearest whole
number.
a.)
7%
b.)
29%
c.)

Brain tumors in children are rare: the base rate is only about 1/10,000. A child with
a tumor is very likely to have occasional headaches: 99 out of 100 do. But there are
many other reasons a child can have a headache: of those who do not have a
tumor, 1 in 10 have occasional headaches.
1. Given that a child has occasional headaches (H), what it the probability that he or
she has a brain tumor (T)? Show your work.
2. Name a behavioral bias that may occur when estimating the probability that your
child has a brain tumor. Would this bias lead to under-or-overestimate that
probability? Explain.
3. Among children with headaches (H), 999/1000 will ultimately be fine (F). Suppose
that a physician using a simple test can correctly determine whether the child is fine

the test gives the patient a green light (G), what is the probability that the
child really will be fine? Show your work..

QUESTION :-
An insurance company would like to offer theft insurance for renters. The policy would pay the full replacement value of any items that were stolen from the apartment. Some apartments have security alarms installed. Such systems detect a break-in and ring an alarm within the apartment. The insurance company estimates that the probability of a theft in a year is 0.05 if there is no security system and 0.01 if there is a security system (there cannot be more than one theft in any year). An apartment with a security system costs the renter an additional $50 per year. Assume that the dollar loss from a theft is $10,000 and that the insurance company is risk neutral and the renter would be willing to pay more than the expected loss to insure against the loss of theft. For a security system to be effective the renter must turn it on whenever he or she leaves the apartment. Suppose it costs the renter $10 per year in expended effort to turn on the alarm system.

The probability that it will rain on any given day is 0.20, and the probability is independent from day to day. You are trying
to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning
down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing.
There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when
there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting
a "rainy" forecast is 0.111.
