A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.8%. If the false negative rate is 7% and the false positive rate is 2%, compute the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease. Round the probability percentage to one decimal place.
Added by Kylee Q.
Step 1
8% = 0.008 - False negative rate (P(Test Negative | Disease)) = 7% = 0.07 - False positive rate (P(Test Positive | No Disease)) = 2% = 0.02 Show more…
