Diabetic Retinopathy is a disease that affects 80% people who have diabetes for more than 10 years. 5% of the Indian population has been suffering from diabetes for more than 10 years. Answer the following questions. What is the joint probability of finding an Indian suffering from Diabetes for more than 10 years and also has Diabetic Retinopathy?
Answers
Around 5% of the Indian population is suffering from diabetes for more than 10 years and around 80% of the people who are suffering from diabetes have Diabetic Retinopathy.
Which means that 80% of those 5% of Indians suffering from diabetes have Diabetic Retinopathy.
In order to find the probabiltiy of Indians suffering from Diabetes for more than 10 years and also has Diabetic Retinopathy is
0.05 x 0.8 = 0.04
which is around 4%
So we can say that around 4% of the Indian population have Diabetic Retinopathy.
Diabetic Retinopathy is a disease that affects 80% of people who have diabetes for more than 10 years. 5% of the Indian population has been suffering from diabetes for more than 10 years.
Since 5% of the population have diabetes then it must be in the term 0.05 and as of 8-% population that might have diabetic retinopathy will be 0.8
Hence, the answer will be 0.05 * 0.8 = .040
Hence around 4% of them will have the diabetic retinopathy disease.
