Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of americans with diabetes = 10.5% = 0.105

Percentage of americans without diabetes = 89.5% = 0.895

Adults over 40 with diabetes tested positive = 95% = 0.95

Adults over 40 with diabetes tested negative = 5% = 0.05

Adults over 40 without diabetes tested positive = 3.5% = 0.035

Adults over 40 without diabetes tested negative = 96.5% = 0.965

The probability of selecting an adult over 40 without diabetes but positive diagnosis;

     = 0.895 * 0.035

     = 0.031325

     = 0.03
