Extracted text: 5. Sickle-cell anemia is a hereditary medical condition that affects red blood cells and is thought to protect. against malaria, a debilitating parasitic infection of the liver and blood. This protection would explain why the sICkle-cell trait is found in people who originally came from Africa, where malaria is widespread. A landmark study in Africa tested children for the sickle-cell trait and also for malaria infection. In all, 25% of the children had the sickle-cell trait, 53% of the children had at least one of the conditions (sickle cell trait or malaria), and 6.6% of children had both of the conditions (sickle cell trait and malaria). Let SC denote the event of having sickle cell trait and M denote the event of having malaria. (a) Translate the three given probabilities in the problem statement into set notation.


Extracted text: (b) What is the probability that a child has eractly one of the conditions (sickle cell trait or malaria)? (Translate this unknown probability using set notation and find the probability.) (Hint: you might want to draw a Venn Diagram or fill in the following probability table to help you figure it out.) Have sickle cell trait Don't have sickle cell trait Total Have malaria 25 75 Don't have malaria Total 25 @75 (c) Calculate the probability that the child has malaria given that the child has sickle cell trait. (Translate this unknown probability using set notation and find the probability.)
