Find the indicated probability:
Refer to the table which summarizes the results of testing for a certain disease.
Positive Test Result Negative Test Result
Subject has the disease
Subject does not have the disease
If one of the results is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a false positive (test indicates the person has the disease when in fact they don't)? What does this probability suggest about the accuracy of the test?
0.414; The probability of this error is high, so the test is not very accurate.
0.103; The probability of this error is high, so the test is not very accurate.
0.0256; The probability of this error is low, so the test is fairly accurate.
0.155; The probability of this error is high, so the test is not very accurate.
