A diagnostic test has a probability 0.95 of giving a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a certain disease, and a probability 0.10 of giving a (false) positive when applied to a non-sufferer. It is estimated that 0.1 % of the population are sufferers. Suppose that the test is now administered to a person about whom we have no relevant information relating to the disease (apart from the fact that he/she comes from this population). Calculate the following probabilities:

(a) that the test result will be positive
(b) that, given a positive result, the person is a sufferer
(c) that, given a negative result, the person is a non-sufferer
(d) that the person will be misclassified

3. (6 pts) internally in the computer, with few exceptions, all numerical computation is done using binary numbers. output, however, often uses ascii, which is formed by appending 011 to the left of a bcd code. thus, an algorithm that directly converts a binary integer to a bcd integer is very useful. here is one such algorithm 1) draw lines to the left of the binary number to bound the expected bcd decades. (each decade is a group of 4 bits.) move the binary number one bit to the left. add 0011 to each bcd decade containing a binary value> 0100 repeat steps 2-3 until the last bit in the binary number has been moved into the least significant decade position. (note that when the last bit has been shifted into bcd decade, step 3 is not repeated.) read the bcd result. 2) 3) 4) 5) a) execute the algorithm for the binary number 1101101 b) execute the algorithm for the binary number 01110101110 4. (4 pts) represent the decimal number 3568 in bcd; excess-3 code; ascil; and hex.

Write a method named addall that could be placed inside the hashintset class. this method accepts another hashintset as a parameter and adds all elements from that set into the current set, if they are not already present. for example, if a set s1 contains [1, 2, 3] and another set s2 contains [1, 7, 3, 9], the call of s1.addall(s2); would change s1 to store [1, 2, 3, 7, 9] in some order. you are allowed to call methods on your set and/or the other set. do not modify the set passed in. this method should run in o(n) time where n is the number of elements in the parameter set passed in.
