In a certain group of 15 students, 5 have graphics calculators and 3 have a Laptop at home (one student has
both). Two of the students drive themselves to campus each day and neither of them has a graphics calculator nor
a Laptop at home. A student is selected at random from the group.
((a) Find the probability that the student either drives to campus or has a graphics calculator.
(b) Show that the events “the student has a graphics calculator” and “the student has a Laptop at home” are
independent.
Let G represent the event “the student has a graphics calculator”
H represent the event “the student has a Laptop at home”
D represent the event “the student drives to campus each day”

A certain “Covid 19” disease occurs in 1% of the population. A simple screening procedure is
Available and in 8 out of 10 cases where the patient has the disease, it produces a positive result. If
The patient does not have the disease there is still a 0.05 chance that the test will give a positive result.
Find the probability that a randomly selected individual:
(a) Does not have the “Covid 19” disease but gives a positive result in the screening test
(b) Gives a positive result on the test
(c) Ton has taken the test and her result is positive. Find the probability that he has the
“Covid 19” disease.
Let C represent the event “the patient has the disease” and S represent the event “the screening test gives a
positive result”. ”.
