In a COVID-19 testing facility, samples from 4 persons are mixed together in a pooled sample. Then, the pooled sample is tested for the SARS-COV-2 virus traces: • If the pooled sample gives negative result, then none of the persons must have the SARS- CoV-2 virus (assuming accurate testing). • However, if the pooled sample gives postive result, then one or more persons must have the virus (assuming accurate testing). Consequently, individual samples need to be tested separately. If the estimated percentage of infected people(has) is 57%, what is the probability that a pooled sample gives negative result?

In a COVID-19 study involving 10,000 university students aged at least 25 years were observed for ten months. All students received a free COVID-19 testing at the start of the study and each month thereafter. At the baseline medical testing, 80 students were diagnosed as having the COVID-19 virus and 20 of these students died during the 10-month follow-up. By the end of follow-up, 240 other students were infected with the virus, including 30 who died from their disease. 200 other students (who did not develop COVID-19) died from other causes. Answer the following questions based on this information. Show working, give answers to 3 significant figures, and show units where appropriate.1a. What was the prevalence of COVID-19 in the study population at baseline?1b. What was the 10-month case-fatality “rate” in students with COVID-19 at baseline? Why is the word “rate” in quotation marks?1c. What was the cumulative incidence (incidence proportion) of COVID-19 during the 10- month…
In the current pandemic, researchers are working on creating antibody tests to determine which individuals have already had an infection caused by the COVID-19 virus. If someone has been infected, then they will have certain antibodies in their system and the hope is that a highly accurate test can be created to detect these antibodies. Assume a researcher creates a new antibody test, which for individuals who are known to have had the infection in the past and thus truly have the COVID-19 antibodies, gives a positive result 95% of the time. This same test gives a negative result 90% of time for people who do not have the antibodies. Assume that COVID-19 has affected 5% of the population in the region of interest. What is the probability someone has NOT been infected previously given that their antibody test result comes back positive? [four decimals]
At pandemic time of COVID 19 surveys are conducted in two townships which fall into the same Lusaka city. In Chawama, 175 tested positive out of a sample of 318 who were tested for COVID 19. In Kabulonga, 143 tested positive out of a sample of 307 who were tested for COVID 19. At the 5% level, is there a difference between the proportions of those who tested positive in each area
A study conducted by researchers was designed "to determine if application of duct tape is as effective as cryotherapy in the treatment of common warts." The researchers randomly divided 6969 patients into two groups. The 3535 patients in group 1 had their warts treated by applying duct tape. The 3434 patients in group 2 had their warts treated by cryotherapy. Once the treatments were complete, it was determined that 6969% of the patients in group 1 and 8585% of the patients in group 2 had complete resolution of their warts. The researchers concluded that cryotherapycryotherapy is significantly more effective in treating warts than duct tapeduct tape. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.(a) What is the research objective?

Suppose that in manufacturing a very sensitive electronic component, a company and its customers have tolerated a 2% defective rate. Recently, however, several customers have been complaining that there seem to be more defectives than in the past. Given that the company has made recent modifications to its manufacturing process, it is wondering if in fact the defective rate has increased from 2%. For quality assurance purposes, you decide to randomly select 1,000 of these electronic components before they are shipped to customers. Of the 1,000 components, you find 25 that are defective. Assume that the company produces a very large number of these components on any given day. Set up an appropriate hypothesis to test whether or not the defect rate has increased. Before proceeding to test your hypothesis, check that all assumptions and conditions are satisfied for such a test. Conduct the test using a .05 level of significance (alpha) and state your decision about…

What would be the minimum number of defectives in a random sample of 1,000 would you need to find in order to statistically decide that the defect…
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is registered to vote. Suppose that 450450 employed persons and 477477 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 291291 of the employed persons and 242242 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Step 3 of 6 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾‾p‾. Round your answer to three decimal places. Please do steps 3-6

in a study of pain relievers, 100 people were given product a, and all but 27 experienced relief. in the same study, 25 people were given product b, and all but 9 experienced relief. Product A or B choose one performed better in the study. That is only because only __% failed to get relief with this product, whereas __% failed to get relief with product a or b choose one.
The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) in Namibia intends to embark upon a COVID 19 vaccination campaign in the Country. But before deciding which type of COVID 19 vaccine to be ordered from the Manufacturers, they first carried out a survey on some countries around the world in order to establish the most preferred vaccine. The findings revealed that: Sixty-eight 68 of them prefer the Pfizer, Fifty-two 52 prefer the modern, and forty-eight 48 prefer the AstraZeneca, Thirty 36 of them prefer Pfizer and AstraZeneca, twenty-two 22 of the prefer Moderna and AstraZeneca, 24 prefer Moderna, only 26 prefer Pfizer only, and the remaining 90 countries preferred none of the vaccines. a) Draw the Venn Diagram depicting all the information.b) What is the percentage of the countries that prefer Moderna and Pfizer but not AstraZeneca?c) How many preferred Pfizer or AstraZeneca but not Moderana?d) what is the ratio (in the simplest form) of the countries that preferred Moderna to those…
A study is done to determine the prevalence of certain symptoms of COVID-19. In a study of 250 patients with positive COVID-19 tests, the following data was obtained: 176 had dry cough, 138 presented with high-grade fevers, and 102 had sore throats. 95 patients had dry coughs and high-grade fevers, 71 had dry coughs and sore throats, and 58 had high-grade fevers and sore throats. 41 patients presented with all three symptoms. a. What is the probability that a randomly-selected COVID-19 patient had all 3 symptoms? b. What is the probability that a randomly-selected COVID-19 patient had exactly 1 of these symptoms (i.e. they had one symptom but not the other 2)? c. What is the probability that a randomly-selected COVID-19 patient did not have any of these symptoms?
