Suppose a drug test is 86% sensitive and 87% specific. That is, the test will produce 86% true positive results for drug users and 87% true negative results for non-drug users. Suppose that 4.9% of people are users of the drug. If a randomly selected individual tests positive, what is the probability he or she is a user?

.2542 This is a Bayes' Theorem problem. Think about what A and B are in the formula. We want to know the probability of the person being a drug user, so that is "A". The information we received is that they tested positive, so that is "B".

In a group of 24 boys and 16 girls, three people are chosen at random. What is the probability that 1 girl and 2 boys are selected?

.4470 First, determine how many ways there are to select one girl and two boys from these groups. Remember that in a scenario like this, order does not matter. So we use the to choose 1 girl from the total number of girls and and multiply that by the boys from the total number of boys. Second, determine how many ways there are to select 3 total + girls using the same method. The final probability takes the combinations to choose 2 combinations formula children from the group of boys number of ways we get 1 girl and 2 boys and divides by the number of ways there are to pick 3 children.
