) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. P(Infected | Positive Test)= % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. P(Not Infected | Negative Test) = %
A certain affects virus 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 89% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 15% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false postive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below.
| Infected | Not Infected | Total | |
| Positive Test | |||
| Negative Test | |||
| Total | 700 | 99,300 | 100,000 |
a) Find the
P(Infected | Positive Test)= %
b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent and do not include a percent sign.
