Suppose that 8% of the patients tested in a clinic are infected with Covid-19. Furthermore, suppose that when a blood test for Covid-19 is given, 95% of the patients tested positive given they are infected with Covid-19 and that 3% of the patients tested positive given they are not infected with Covid-19. What is the probability that a patient is not infected with it given they have been tested negative?
