Question

A disease occurs in 0.5% of the population. A diagnostic test gives a positive result in:
99% of the people with the disease
5% of the people without the disease (false positive).
a person receives a positive result.
what is the probability of them having the disease,given a positive result?​

Answer 1

Answer:What is the probability that you have the disease if the test is positive?

A certain disease has an incidence rate of 2%. If the false negative rate is 10% and the false positive rate is 1%, compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease. so about 65% of the people who test positive will have the disease.
