Question

SHOW WORK

do not answer if your work doesn't produce final answer of 0.0844

Suppose that 0.044 percent of the population has a disease without showing any symptoms. A test for the disease is known to be 91.6 percent accurate, which means that 91.6 percent of the people who have the disease will test positive for the disease, and 91.6 percent of the people who do not have the disease will not test positive for the disease. What is the probability that a person who does not show symptoms for the disease will test positive? (Round your answer to four digits to the right of the decimal.)

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

P(disease)=0.044

P(positive/disease)=0.916

P(negative/not disease)=0.916

We need

P(positive/not disease)=1-P(negative/not disease)

=1-0.916

=0.084
