Suppose it is known that 5.99% of the population suffers from a particular disease. A blood test has a 93.54% chance of identifying the disease for diseased individuals, but also has a 11.23% chance of falsely indicating that a healthy person has the disease.
If your blood test is positive, what is the chance that you have the disease?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Suppose that 14% of the patients in a small town are known to
have heart disease. And suppose that a test is available that is
positive in 97% of the patients with heart disease but is also
positive in 6% of patients who do not have heart disease. If a
person is selected at random and given the test and it comes out
positive, what is the probability that the person actually has
heart disease? Round your answer to 4...

A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease
94% of the time. False positives occur 14%. It is estimated that
0.95% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is
applied to a random individual from the population. Compute the
following probabilities. (It may help to draw a probability
tree.)
The percentage chance that the test will be positive = %
The probability that, given a positive result, the person has
disease X = %

One percent of all individuals in a certain population are
carriers of a particular disease. A
diagnostic test for this disease has a 93% detection rate for
carriers and a 2% false positive rate. Suppose that an individual
is tested. What is the specificity of the test? What is the
probability that an individual who tests negative does not carry
the disease?

It is known that, on average, one hundred people (1 in 100) have
a particular disease. A diagnostic test is devised to screen for
this disease. A positive result is one that suggests that the
person has the disease, and a negative result is one that suggests
that the person does not have the disease. The possibility of
errors in the test gives the following result probabilities:
For a person who has the disease, the probability of a positive
result...

Suppose that the probability of having a particular disease is
0.05. Suppose that the probability of testing positive for the
disease is 0.95 given that a person has the disease and 0.04 given
that the person does not have the disease. Given that a person
tests positive for the disease, what is the probability that they
actually have the disease? (Answer to four decimal places).

Dear Expert
Could you please answer below question?
A laboratory blood test is 95 percent effective in detecting a
certain disease when it is, in fact, present. However, the test
also yields a “false positive” result for 1 percent of the healthy
persons tested. (That is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with
probability .01, the test result will imply that he or she has the
disease.) If .5 percent of the population actually has the disease,
what is...

Suppose that a rare disease occurs in the general population in
only one of every 10,000 people. A medical test is used to detect
the disease. If a person has the disease, the probability that the
test result is positive is 0.99. If a person does not have the
disease, the probability that the test result is positive is 0.02.
Given that a person’s test result is positive, find the probability
that this person truly has the rare disease?

A certain deadly disease occurs in 1 percent of the population.
A blood test for this disease has a 2 percent false positive rate,
and a 5 percent false negative rate (i.e., 2 percent of those not
having the disease test positive, and 5 percent of those having the
disease test negative). Suppose you want to put your mind at ease
and take the blood test.
