a)as disease is very rare ; therefore conditional probability that the person have the disease given tested positive will be very less.Therefore this is a good news,
b)
P(tested positive)=P(have disease and tested positive)+P(not have disease and tested positive)
=(1/10000)*0.99+(1-1/10000)*(1-0.99)=0.010098
hence P(have the disease given tested positive)
=P(have disease and tested positive)/P(tested positive)=(1/10000)*0.99/0.010098=0.009804

Jane is being tested for a rare disease. Only 1.5% of the population has the disease. The following data were collected. First a group of people who had the disease were tested. 98.5% tested positive and 1.5% tested negative. Next, a group of people who did not have the disease were tested. 3% tested positive and 97% tested negative.

2. Suppose next that we have even less knowledge of our patient, and we are only given the accuracy of the blood test and prevalence of the disease in our population. We are told that the blood test is 99 percent reliable, this means that the test will yield an accurate positive result in 9 of the cases where the disease is actually present. Gestational diabetes affects #.1 percent of the population in our patient's age group, and that our...

2. Suppose next that we have even less knowledge of our patient, and we are only given the accuracy of the blood test and prevalence of the disease in our population. We are told that the blood test is 90 percent reliable, this means that the test will yield an accurate positive result in 90% of the cases where the disease is actually present.

Suppose next that we have even less knowledge of our patient, and we are only given the accuracy of the blood test and prevalence of the disease in our population. We are told that the blood test is 96 percent reliable, this means that the test will yield an accurate positive result in 96% of the cases where the disease is actually present. Gestational diabetes affects 7 percent of the population in our patient’s age group, and that our test...

Consider a small town that has a population of 1,000 people. It is known that in this town, 10 people are infected with a rare disease. The remaining 990 people are NOT infected with the disease. This data is known with certainty. Recently, The FDA (Food and Drug administration) developed a test that determines if a person is infected with this disease. However, as with most test of this nature, it is not foolproof proof as there are a certain...

RBV testing Suppose that 1% of all people are infected with the rare banana virus (RBV). There is a test to detect the RBV: if you do have the RBV, then the test will correctly detect this 99% of the time; if you do not have RBV, then the test will correctly indicate this 97% of the time. We assume that if the RBV test is given repeatedly to the same person, then the test results are independent of cach...
