A certain genetic condition affects 8% of the population in a city of 10,000. Suppose there is a test for the condition that has

an error rate of 1% (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).
Consider the values that would complete the table below.

Has condition Does not have condition totals

Test positive

Test negative

Totals

What is the probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Solution:

Population in the city= 10,000

As genetic condition affects 8% of the population.

8 % of 10,000

=\frac{8}{100}\times 10,000=800

As, it is also given that, there is an error rate of 1% for condition (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).

So, 1% false negatives means out of 800 tested who are found affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found affected are not affected at all.

So, 1% of 800 =\frac{1}{100}\times 800=8

Also,  1% false positives means out of 10,000 tested,[10,000-800= 9200] who are found not affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found not affected can be affected also.

So, 1% of 9200 =\frac{1}{100}\times 9200=92

1. Has condition Does not have condition totals  = 800

2. Test positive =92

3. Test negative =8

4. Total =800 +92 +8=900

5. Probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive= As 8% are found positive among 10,000 means 9200 are not found affected.But there are chances that out of 9200 , 1% may be affected

=\frac{\text{1 percent of 9200}}{9200}\\\\ \frac{\frac{1}{100}\times 9200}{9200}=\frac{92}{9200}\\\\ =0.01

that is Probability equal to 0.01 or 1%.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a_{39} <em>= 279</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d

d = a_{2} - a_{1}

~~~~~~~~~

d = - 17 + 25 = - 9 + 17 = - 1 + 9 = 8

a_{39} = - 25 + 8(39 - 1) = 279

a_{39} <em>= 279</em><em> </em>
