The accompanying table shows the results from a test for a certain disease. Find the probability of selecting a subject with a negative test result, given that the subject has the disease. What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? The individual actually had the disease Yes No Positive 349 5 Negative 11 1133 The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? A. The subject would experience needless stress and additional testing. B. The test would be shown to be not effective. C. The subject would not receive treatment and could spread the disease. D. The test would be shown to be not reliable.

Step 1
- The number of subjects with the disease who tested negative is 11. - The total number of subjects with the disease is 360. - Probability = Number of subjects with the disease who tested negative / Total number of subjects with the disease - Probability = 11 / Show more…

The accompanying table shows the results from a test for a certain disease. Find the probability of selecting a subject with a negative test result, given that the subject has the disease. What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? The individual actually had the disease Yes No Positive 335 7 Negative 17 1185 The probability is 0.048. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? A. The test would be shown to be not reliable. B. The subject would experience needless stress and additional testing. C. The subject would not receive treatment and could spread the disease. D. The test would be shown to be not effective.
"Question 4 Find the indicated probability: Refer to the table which summarizes the results of testing for a certain 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? 0.155; The probability of this error is high so the test is not very accurate_ 0.414; The probability of this error is high so the test is not very accurate_"
