seniors, and 10 graduate
students. The final grades show
that 3 of the juniors, 10 of the

16. Suppose that the four inspectors
at a film factory are supposed to
stamp the expiration date on
each package of film at the end
of the assembly line. John, who
stamps 20% of the packages,
fails to stamp the expiration date
once in every 200 packages:
Tom, who stamps 60% of the
packages, fails to stamp the
expiration date once in every
100 packages; Jeff, who stamps
15% of the packages, fails to
stamp the expiration date once
in every 90 packages; and Pat,
who stamps 5% of the
packages, fails to stamp the
expiration date once in every
200 packages. If a customer
complains that her package of
film does not show the
expiration date, what is the

by John?

known to be found in women
over 60 with probability 0.07. A
blood test exists for the
detection of the disease but the
test is not infallible. In fact, it is
known that 10% of the time the
test gives a false negative (i.e.,
the test incorrectly gives a
negative result) and 5% of the
time the test, gives a false
positive (i.e., incorrectly gives a
positive result). If a woman over
60 is known to have taken the
test and received a favorable
(i.e., a negative result), what is
the probability that she has the
disease?
