A home pregnancy test was given to women, then pregnancy was verified through blood tests. The following table shows the home pregnancy test results. Positive | Negative | Total Pregnant | 77 | 6 | 83 Not Pregnant | 5 | 53 | 58 Total | 82 | 59 | 141 Write each probability as a decimal rounded to three decimal places. (a) P(positive | pregnant) = (b) P(pregnant | positive) = (c) P(negative | pregnant) = (d) P(not pregnant | negative) =

A home pregnancy test was given to women, then pregnancy was verified through blood tests. The following table shows the home pregnancy test results. Positive Negative Total Pregnant 72 6 Not Pregnant 4 52 Total 76 58 134 Find the following. Give answers as a reduced fraction or decimal to at least 4 decimal places. P(Positive | Pregnant) = What is the probability that the woman is pregnant given that the test is positive? Given that a woman is pregnant, what is the probability that the test is negative? P(Not Pregnant | Negative) =

Pregnancy Test: pregnancy testing device used by 1000 different women from the population. Here, women who think they might be pregnant. A positive test result means pregnancy. The results are depicted in the contingency table below: Was she actually pregnant? Yes No Positive Test Result 482 12 Negative Test Result 5 501 (a) Using the relative frequency approximation, what is the probability that the device is correct? Round your answer to 3 significant digits: P(result is correct) (b) Suppose you are a woman about to take the test. Prior to taking the test, what is the probability of a false positive? Round your answer to 3 significant digits: P(false positive) (c) Suppose you are a woman who takes the test and comes back positive. What is the probability that the test result is wrong? Round your answer to 3 significant digits: P(not pregnant | positive test result) (d) What statement about the probability of getting a false positive is true? The probability of a false positive decreases after a positive test result is obtained. The probability of a false positive increases after a positive test result is obtained. The probability of a false positive is not affected by the result of the test.
