Answer:
The percent of the people who tested positive actually have the disease is 38.64%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the events as follows:
<em>X</em> = a person has the disease
<em>P</em> = the test result is positive
<em>N</em> = the test result is negative
Given:
Compute the value of P (P|X) as follows:
Compute the probability of a positive test result as follows:
Compute the probability of a person having the disease given that he/she was tested positive as follows:
The percentage of people having the disease given that he/she was tested positive is, 0.3864 × 100 = 38.64%.
Please find the attachment for a better understanding of the explanation to this question.
As we can see from the diagram attached, the X axis represented by XX' and the Y axis represented by YY' intersect each other at the origin represented by O. Further, we notice that this intersection is at the angle 90 degrees or in other words the intersection is perpendicular. Thus, we have seen that the the x and y axes in the xy plane intersect perpendicularly. And hence, the answer is TRUE.
Please note that this is always the case and this is also known as orthogonality.
