A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 95% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated that 5.13% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that, given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?

Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
