Astudent studying for a vocabulary test knows the meanings of 16 words from a list of 24 words. if the test contains 10 words from the study list, what is the probability that at least 8 of the words on the test are words that the student knows?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
