A new test is developed to test for organic matter in soil samples, giving "positive" or "negative" results to indicate that a sample does or does not contain organic matter. For a soil sample that contains organic matter, the test will give a positive result 95% of the time and a negative result (false negative) 5% of the time. For a soil sample that does not contain organic matter, the test will give a positive result (false positive) 20% of the time and a negative result 80% of the time.

A study included a population of 1,000 soil samples, and 70% of those studied where known to contain organic matter.

Fill in the missing values in the table and statement below. If necessary, round the percentage to one decimal place.

Number of
Samples Positive
Result Negative
Result
Contains
Organic Matter 700 665
Does Not Contain
Organic Matter 300
240

If a soil sample test gives a positive result, it is
% likely that the soil sample contains organic matter.

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), a subject is told that cards only the experimenter can see contain either a star, a circle, a wave, or a square. as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. a subject who is just guessing has probability 0.25 of guessing correctly on each card. a. the count of correct guesses in 20 cards has a binomial distribution. what are n and p? b. what is the mean number of correct guesses in 20 cards for subjects who are just guessing? c. what is the probability of exactly 5 correct guesses in 20 cards if a subject is just guessing?
