Answer:

There is 97% Chance that the person is infected.

Explanation:

According to the question, the test for the virus has 3% false positive and there is no false negative rate.

Therefore if someone takes the test and gets a positive result, the chances of the person to be infected ( True positive ) is

100 - 3 = 97%

Note: False positive result is a result that indicates that a given condition is present when it is not actually present.

Answer:

The answer is 97%.

Explanation:

The zika virus' 1% incidence rate in the population has no effect over the probability of the patient being infected or not. If the test has a 3% false positive rate that means that if it is positive, the results have a 97% chance of being true. Therefore the chance that the person who took the test and had a positive result being actually infected is 97%.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

 The Geographic barrier would have led to speciation in the finches which started from the founder effect where the finches were brought to other areas of the Galapagos. They were separated geographically so they could not mate with each other. Over time, evolution occurs through natural selection and genetic drift. This leads to the population being so different so they have reproductive barriers and can no longer interbreed. They become different species.

Hope this helps you understand better.
