Concept explainers
Mad Cow Disease In March 2004 the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced plans to test approximately 243,000 slaughtered cows per year for mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy).19 When announcing the plan, the Agriculture Department stated that “by the laws of probability, that many tests should detect mad cow disease even if it is present in only 5 cows out of the 45 million in the nation.”20 Test the Department’s claim by computing the probability that, if only 5 out of 45 million cows had mad cow disease, at least 1 cow would test positive in a year (assuming that the testing was done randomly).
