Question
This question asks you to extend the medical-test example from class. Suppose there is a medical
condition that afflicts 20% of the population. There is a test for this condition, and the reliability
of this test can be characterized as follows:
• false-positive rate = 10%
for those who do not have the condition, 10% will
test positive.
for those who have the condition, 5% will test neg-
• false-negative rate = 5%
ative.
(a) If you receive a positive test result, what is the likelihood that you have the condition?
If you receive a negative test result, what is the likelihood that you do not have the condition?
(b) Repeat part (a), except now assume that the false-positive rate is 5% and the false-negative
rate is 10%.
