Question

Complete the table below. Suppose 8% of those who take the COVID-19 test actually have the virus. The test is 90% accurate in identifying those with COVID-19 and those without COVID-19. Out of 1000 people tested, find out how many people will test positive and how many of those are \"false positives\" (those who test positive but don't actually have the virus). Tested Tested Total Positive Negative Actually with [a] [b] 80 COVID-19 Actually without [c] [d] 920 COVID-19 Total [e] [f] 1000 Copy this table on your paper and fill in the blank boxes.

suppose-that-10-percent-of-the-people-getting-tested-for-covid-19-actually-have-the-virus-suppose-also-that-there-is-a-test-such-that-99-percent-of-the-people-with-covid-19-test-positive-and-56544

Suppose that 10 percent of the people getting tested for COVID-19 actually have the virus. Suppose also that there is a test, such that 99 percent of the people with COVID-19 test positive, and 2 percent of the people who do not have COVID-19 also test positive. (These are the false positives.) Joe gets tested for COVID-19 and his test comes back positive. Use Bayes' Theorem to compute the probability that Joe has COVID-19. [Of course, Joe either has the virus, or he doesn't. Thus it's more precise to ask you to compute the probability that a randomly-selected person who tests positive for the virus actually has the virus. Interpret the question in this way.]

COVID-19 tests were performed on 300 people. The test is not perfect as it can sometimes show a positive result when the person does not have the virus (false positive) and sometimes show a negative result when the person actually has the virus (false negative). The data below shows the table of tests performed. If a person tests positive, what is the probability that they actually do not have the disease? Has COVID-19 Does not have COVID-19 Test + 183 95.75% 91.58% 79.82% 75.43%

A certain affects virus 0.9% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 88% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 11% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false postive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below. | | Infected | Not Infected | Total | |---|---|---|---| | Positive Test | 762 | | | | Negative Test | 138 | | | | Total | 900 | 99,100 | 100,000 | a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. P(Infected | Positive Test) = % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. P(Not Infected | Negative Test) = %

00:01 Hi, i'm david and i'm here to help me answer your question.
00:03 Now let me copy your question here.
00:07 In the question here, we are going to discuss about the three diagram.
00:11 Now i will summarize the question by the three diagrams.
00:14 We have the 10 % of the people will get the test for the covid actually have the virus.
00:20 So it means that we will have the virus and not having the virus will denoted by the v -comulam.
00:30 The 10 % do you get the virus? it will be 0 .1 and not having the virus will be the column and will be the 9 % will be the 0 .9.
00:42 And when they take the test, the result can be the positive on the negative.
00:47 Something here, positive on the negative.
00:50 And we will have that there is a test that 99 % of the people with the covid will test a pontiff it means that with the positive, with the covid virus, and the positive test will be the 0199.
01:04 The common for the negative results will be the 1 % only will be the 0 .01.
01:10 And we have 2 % those people who do not have the virus also have the puncher test.
01:17 So this one will be the 0102...
