A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 88% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 13% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive) Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. a. Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. b. Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign.
