8 in every 1000 people in a city have a certain medical condition. If a person with the condition is tested for the condition, the probability that the result is incorrect is 0.04. If a person without the condition is tested, the probability that the result is incorrect is 0.06. Suppose a person is arbitrarily tested for the condition and the result was positive, that is, the result indicates that the person has the condition whether the person actually has the condition.

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

The probability that a person has a certain disease is 0.05. Medical diagnostic tests are available to determine whether the person actually has the disease. If the disease is actually present, the probability that the medical diagnostic test will give a positive result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.92. If the disease is not actually present, the probability of a positive test result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.04. a. If the medical diagnostic test has given a positive result (indicating that the disease is present), what is the probability that the disease is actually present? b. If the medical diagnostic test has given a negative result (indicating that the disease is not present), what is the probability that the disease is not present?
