The probability that a randomly selected item is defective is 1/20. The probability that the a quality inspection flags a defective item correctly is 95/100. The probability that it incorrectly flags a non-defective item is 10/100. Given that the a quality inspection gives a positive result, what is the probability that the item truly is defective? (Use Bayes' theorem.) Answer: 0.3333
The probability that a randomly selected item has the disease is 5/100. The probability that the a diagnostic test tests positive given the disease is present is 90/100. The probability that it tests positive when the disease is absent (false positive) is 8/100. Given that the a diagnostic test gives a positive result, what is the probability that the item truly has the disease? (Use Bayes' theorem.) Answer: 0.3719
