Question
The prevalence of a disease in the general population is 0.2%. A diagnostic test is developed that
correctly predicts the disease state of a sick person 90% of the time and of a healthy person 95% of the
time.
a. Draw the Venn diagram for the problem and indicate the number of people out of 10,000 people
total that fall into the diagram's four bins. The bins should be defined by disease state (D+/D¯) and
test result (T+/T) where + indicates you have the disease and indicates that you do not.
b. What is the probability that a person with a positive test result actually has the disease?
c. What is the probability that a person with a negative test result does not have the disease?
d. Does the test have practical value for detecting people with the disease and why?
