whether you accept or reject the null hypothesis, and (iii) what conclusions you draw from this
study.

Question 2
A particular HIV test used in Uganda has a 97.6% chance of detecting HIV if the individual actually
has it, and a 90.4% chance of correctly indicating that HIV is absent if the person really does not have
HIV. Among males between the ages of 15 and 49 in Uganda the prevalence of HIV is 12.6%.
(a) [6 marks] Draw a probability tree diagram using this information, and use this to determine the
probability that a randomly chosen male will be: (i) True positive, (ii) False negative, (iii) False
positive, (iv) True negative.
(b) [2 marks] What percentage of Ugandan males between the ages of 15 and 49 who test positive
actually have HIV?
(c) [2 marks] What percentage of Ugandan males between the ages of 15 and 49 who test negative
do not actually have HIV?

Question 3
The probability of a bacterium being infected with a phage is 0.4. If four bacteria are examined
under a microscope, determine the probability of the following. Hint: use the binomial distribution.
(a) [2 marks] No bacteria being infected?
(b) [2 marks] Three bacteria being infected?
(c) [3 marks] At least one bacterium being infected?
Question 4
A pink solution of the Co2+ ion absorbs green light at a wavenumber 𝜈̅ = 19400 cm-1.
(a) [4 marks] Give the corresponding wavelength, 𝜆, and frequency, 𝜈, of this electromagnetic
radiation.
4
(b) [4 marks] The molar absorption coefficient of Co2+ is 12 dm3 mol-1 cm-1 at this wavelength. If a
sample in a tube of width 1.0 cm has an absorbance A = 0.60, what is the concentration of Co2+ in
the sample? Hint: use the Beer-Lambert law.
Question 5
(a) [4 marks] The first atomic explosion was detonated in the desert north of Alamogordo, New
Mexico, on July 16, 1945. What percentage of the strontium-90 (t½ = 28.9 years) originally produced
by that explosion will still remain on July 16 2021.
5
(b) [4 marks] Technetium-99 has been used as a radiographic agent in bone scans. If it has a half-life
of 6.0 hours, what fraction of an administered dose of 100. μg remains in a patients body after 2.0
days?
(c) [4 marks] When an atom of uranium-235 is struck with a neutron, atoms of cerium-144 and
strontium-90 are produced, along with some neutrons and electrons. How many neutrons and βparticles are produced in this fission reaction? Explain your answer.
