A hospital is testing patients for a certain disease. If a patient has the disease, the test is designed to return a "positive" result. If a patient does not have the disease, the test should return a "negative" result. No test is perfect though. 90% of patients who have the disease will test positive. 10% of patients who don’t have the disease will also test positive. 20% of the population in question has the disease. If a random patient tests...
