- The NIH is creating a test for the Zika virus. The incidence of a Zika is low, 11 percent in the general population. There is a trial version, but it sometimes misses the disease. The probability of a false negative is 0.03. Similarly, someone who does not have Zika, will sometimes get a positive reading. The probability of this is 0.1. Fill in the tree diagram and... Answer as a decimal to 4 decimal places.
