Diagnosis. Based on your symptoms, your doctor says, “There’s a 40% chance you have disease A, a 30% chance you have disease B, a 20% chance you have disease C, and a 10% chance you have some unknown disease.” Create a bar graph similar to the figure on page 635 to illust rate this diagnosis. Out of 1000 patients with identical symptoms, how many would you expect to have disease A? Disease B? Disease C? None of A, B, or C?
